July Cancer Awareness Month: Sarcoma and Uterine Cancer

July is Sarcoma Awareness Month and also a time to recognize Uterine Cancer awareness. Two very different cancers — one that can strike at any age, one that is the most common gynecologic cancer in the US — both deserving more attention than they typically receive.

Sarcoma Awareness Month

Sarcomas are cancers that develop in the bones and soft tissues — muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. They are relatively rare, accounting for about 1% of adult cancers, but they disproportionately affect children and young adults. Because they're rare, they're often misdiagnosed or caught late.

The awareness ribbon for sarcoma is yellow. It's a color that carries hope — appropriate for a community fighting a disease that too many people have never heard of. Our yellow crystal awareness bracelet is a meaningful way to show solidarity with sarcoma fighters and their families.

If you notice an unusual lump or swelling that persists, especially in a child or young adult, advocate for imaging. Early diagnosis changes outcomes.

Uterine Cancer Awareness

Uterine cancer — including endometrial cancer — is the most common gynecologic cancer in the United States, yet it often goes unrecognized compared to ovarian or cervical cancer. It primarily affects women after menopause and is most often detected because of abnormal bleeding — a symptom that should never be dismissed as "just part of aging."

The awareness ribbon for uterine cancer is peach. Our peach crystal uterine cancer bracelet is for the woman who has been through more than most people know. Crafted in sterling silver and available with a personalized engraved charm, it's a gift that says her fight is seen.

If you or someone you love has experienced unexplained bleeding after menopause, please see a doctor. Uterine cancer is highly treatable when caught early.

Rare Cancers Deserve Loud Voices

Sarcomas and uterine cancers both suffer from the same problem: not enough public awareness, not enough research funding, not enough people talking about them. Wearing a ribbon, sharing a post, buying a bracelet — all of it adds to the noise that eventually becomes change.

Every bracelet we make donates $5 to the American Cancer Society. Browse our full cancer awareness jewelry collection to show your support.
