This is the "Common Thread" bracelet.


This bracelet is for anyone who has experienced infertility or who is currently experiencing infertility. For anyone who has suffered through pregnancy loss. For those who have conceived naturally, utilized treatments, adopted, used third-party reproduction, or chose to live child-free: a movement.

For anyone who has ever had a miscarriage, struggled with pregnancy, and all things infertile...there is a movement upon us that you might want to join. It's rather simple actually: a discreet ribbon on your right wrist to signal to others that they are not alone in their struggles.

Pomegranates, a longstanding symbol of fertility, serve as a strong analogy to those suffering through infertility. Though each pomegranate skin is unique in colour and texture, the seeds inside are remarkably similar from fruit to fruit. Though our diagnosis is unique—endometriosis, low sperm count, luteal phase defect, or causes unknown—the emotions, those seeds on the inside, are the same from person to person. Infertility creates frustration, anger, depression, guilt, and loneliness. Compounding these emotions is the shame that drives people suffering from infertility to retreat into silence.

In addition, the seeds represent the multitude of ways one can build their family: natural conception, treatments, adoption, third-party reproduction, or even choosing to live child-free.

The pomegranate thread holds a two-fold purpose: to identify and create community between those experiencing infertility as well as create a starting point for a conversation. Women pregnant through A.R.T., families created through adoption, or couples trying to conceive during infertility can wear the thread, identifying themselves to others in this silent community. At the same time, the string serves as a gateway to conversations about infertility when people inquire about its purpose. These conversations are imperative if we are ever to remove the social stigma attached to infertility.Tie on the thread because you’re not alone. Wear to make aware.

I designed this particular "Common Thread" bracelet as a way to pass that "signal" along to others. I feel that this bracelet symbolizes that common thread perfectly while being adorned with two Rose Quartz stones and a Jade Stone centered perfectly on the bracelet.

• Rose quartz is a soothing, calming crystal that is known to promote love and healing. It helps to bring clarity to the heart.

• Jade encourages practicality, wisdom, mental peace and tolerance of others. They also believe it can rejuvenate during periods of stress, reduce fears, banish negative thoughts and increase a person’s capacity for giving and receiving love. Jade makes a good worry stone and is often used in rosaries.

When ordering please let us know whether you would prefer the adjustable slide closure on your bracelet or a bead closure (if you prefer the bead closure, please be sure to let us know what size your wrist is as it will be made to size).

(On a side note, I too suffer from IF, and wear my "Common Thread" bracelet daily. It helps me feel strong and united with women everywhere across the world.)

Due to the overwhelming popularity of the Common Thread IF Bracelet, we have now added the Common Thread IF Necklace into the Collection. This necklace is adorned with both Rose Quartz and Jade beads centered perfectly on pomegranate thread. It has an adjustable slide for easy wear, and matches the Common Thread Bracelet perfectly. They can be worn together or seperarately.
