Medical alert jewelry: Choosing the right medical ID

How to Choose

Once you've decided to get a medical ID, the challenge (and fun) begins. 

Should it be big or little, bold or unobtrusive?  A bracelet, pendant, anklet, or keychain device?  Made of stainless-steel, gold-plated, beaded, or plastic?  With medical information engraved, computerized, miniaturized, or encased in a locket?  With so many choices in medical jewelry, how do you decide what's right for you?

Given the variety of options, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.  But selecting the right medical jewelry is easier than you might think, involving three main factors: 

1. your medical issues,
2. your personal taste and lifestyle, and
3. your budget.
