Artist Elizabeth Torbit's seafood allergy surprised her, but doctor's orders didn't.
To stay away from all shellfish as well as finned fish and, uhm, and to wear identification at all times, because if it happens again, it'll be much faster and I won't be able to speak.
She started looking for a medical i-d bracelet
I found your standard, stainless steel items. I found some other things that were interesting, but not really to my liking. Nothing really contemporary and chic or stylish.
A design major, who began her career working on animated films at Pixar, now has designs on selling fashion-forward medical jewelry. Elizabeth assembles each and every necklace and bracelet by hand. They come engraved, or with a simple star of life symbol to alert first responders in an emergency. There are three separate lines - leather, woven and metallic.
I wanted to create some jewelry that people didn't feel like they had to wear, uhm, but that actually the jewelry was so stylish that it would encourage them to wear it. And their friends ask about, 'Wow, that's a great new bracelet. What it's about?'
Even friends without medical issues have become fans.
I run most days before work in the morning and so being a San Francisco resident and running on the streets and sidewalks, I think it's great to have an ID bracelet, just in case anything happens.
Be it emergency information or specific condition alerts… you can wear it with anything! Thanks to the artist on a medical mission. For WebMD, I'm Damon Meharg.
