Custom DNR Medical Alert Jewelry - Bracelets & Necklaces for Peace of Mind
DNR Bracelets & Necklaces
If you have a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) Order, you likely have it on file with your local hospital system. If you are a patient or resident at an assisted living, nursing facility, hospice, or other healthcare setting, it is also likely that the administration and your care team all have access to and knowledge of your legal directives. In some settings, as directed by the American Hospital Association and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), patients wear a purple DNR band as a visual reminder to healthcare providers.
Outside of a healthcare facility, however, communicating your end-of-life decisions is more complicated. This is why many people choose to wear a Do Not Resuscitate bracelet or DNR necklace. These items are designed to quickly and easily communicate that you have a DNR Order and do not wish to receive life-saving medical treatment.
Does Wearing DNR Medical ID Jewelry Work?
DNR Orders are not only for people living in a healthcare setting. When living outside of such a facility, self-advocacy with regard to your DNR Order is extremely important. This is where a DNR bracelet comes into play.
DNR bracelets are medical IDs, and medical IDs are simple, convenient tools for communicating your identity, medical information, and emergency contacts. DNR bands and necklaces are designed to quickly communicate your wishes and direct medical personnel to your written DNR Order, which you may want to carry on your person.
Legal Considerations
Whether you choose a Do Not Resuscitate band or a necklace, it is important to note that laws and regulations vary by country, state, locality, and even by responding organization. This means that, while wearing DNR medical ID jewelry may be helpful, there is no guarantee that it will be read and/or obeyed by a first responder or other medical provider.
The communication of and adherence to your DNR Order is something to discuss with your family, care providers, and legal counsel with knowledge of your local laws, statutes, and practices.
What to Include on a Custom DNR Necklace or Bracelet
Your Lauren’s Hope medical ID will be custom engraved just for you. You can choose any of our medical alert bracelets or medical alert necklaces, and we will personalize it to suit your needs.
When deciding what to engrave on your DNR bracelet, start with the basics:
- Name
- DNR Status
- Where to access your DNR order
- Emergency contact information
Of course, having a DNR Order does not mean you have no other pertinent information to convey on your medical ID. You may also have allergies, conditions, and treatment restrictions unrelated to your DNR.
Lauren’s Hope DNR Jewelry
With custom engraving, every Lauren’s Hope medical ID can be used to convey your DNR status. You are not limited to a small selection of pre-engraved DNR bracelets or necklaces. That customization is especially important, as it helps provide a means of identification and access to your emergency contact information.
There are many different types of medical IDs you might choose to wear as DNR bracelets and necklaces. You might choose a DNR band that’s made of simple silicone, a DNR necklace pendant with an embellished pattern, or a custom DNR medical bracelet in stainless steel, leather, crystal, or sterling silver.

The Meaning and Importance of a DNR Order
What is a DNR?
A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order is a legal document that instructs healthcare providers not to perform CPR or other life-saving measures if your heart stops or if you stop breathing. Understanding the meaning of a DNR is crucial for making informed decisions about your end-of-life care.
DNR Status and Terminal Illness
For individuals with a terminal illness, having a DNR order can provide peace of mind, knowing that their end-of-life wishes will be respected. It prevents unnecessary and possibly painful interventions, allowing for a more dignified and peaceful passing. Discussing DNR status with your healthcare provider and family ensures that everyone is aware of your wishes.
How Custom Engraving Enhances Your Medical ID
Custom engraving on your DNR bracelet or necklace ensures that all pertinent medical information is clear and easily accessible. This includes your name, DNR status, and any other critical information such as allergies or existing medical conditions. Custom engraving enhances the functionality of your medical ID, making it a vital tool in emergency situations.
