A more glamourous take on our original plastic UV awareness bracelet, this handy sterling silver bracelet teams up with orange and purple Swarovski Elements beads to give a bit more sparkle (because you can never have enough sparkle).

But better than simply looking great, the UV-Buddy® bracelet changes colour depending on UV exposure.

It's well-known that redheads and sunshine don't exactly mesh well. Sure, ginger hair in the sunlight looks fabulous, but our pale skin needs plenty of SPF protection during the summer.

And sometimes, whether it's due to overcast skies or silly forgetfulness, gingers can be caught short in the sunshine, which is when disaster (and sun burn) strikes.

Natural redheads, with their practically see-through complexion, are at the highest risk of getting skin cancer, with the sun's harmful rays being the biggest culprit.

But, acting as a helpful friend, a UV-Buddy® bracelet changes its colour depending on how many UV rays it is exposed to, which can alert you to when you should either cover up, or get your sunscreen on.

Cute, fun and luxurious, this UV-Buddy® bracelet comes with Swarovski Elements in the official Ginger Parrot colours, with its clear UV-reactive beads changing to a purple colour when exposed to UV light (see gallery).

When the clear beads become more and more vibrant, you will know it's time to cover up or apply sunscreen - something all redheads should be well-acquainted with!

The bracelet comes in a variety of sizes suitable for kids and adults, so all the family* can benefit from UV-Buddy®'s sun protection awareness abilities.

The UV beads will change colour up to 50,000 times before the pigment will no longer respond to UV light.

None of the energy in UV light is visible to the naked eye so an awareness accessory can help in alerting when you might be at risk of sun damage, before it's too late.

Size guide: Small/Medium 17cm, Large 20cm.
