The 7 sections that contain soil should be a light shade of brown and the sections that contain water should be a light shade of blue. We are open to each designer’s initial suggestions for specific colors to use and will provide feedback after receiving the initial designs. However, we would like both the brown and blue sections of the bracelet to be opaque (i.e. - non-translucent).
Additionally, we would like to see two versions of the bracelet in all initial submissions…one that has the 7 sections of water on one side and the 7 sections of soil on the other side of the bracelet. And in the other version we would like to see alternating sections of soil, water, soil, water, etc.
We will eventually have different sizes of the bracelet but for the initial design we can use a “medium” inner-circumference size of 7.5” (19 cm).
We are looking to have a 3D CAD rendering for prototyping. We welcome feedback and submissions from designers who can suggest approaches for producing a bracelet like this that will need to have small amounts of water and soil injected into the bracelet sections at some point during or after the initial manufacturing process.

The 2nd type of design we’d like to focus on is based on the attached photos of the “Pure Strength” silicone bracelet. This is a reversible, two-tone silicone bracelet which has an elastic inner piece of silicone that stretches to slip on and off your wrist, and this elastic inner piece of flexible silicone actually runs through the main silicone segment of the bracelet that reads “pure strength”.
We’d like to see this same two-tone, reversible, elastic design made up of 7 separate segments, with the elastic inner piece of silicone running through all 7 segments.
One side of the bracelet would display 7 blue segments, each of which would have a small amount of water from one of the 7 seas. When you reversed the bracelet, the other side would display 7 brown segments, each of which would contain a small soil sample from one of the 7 continents.
And similar to the “Pure Strength” bracelet in the photos, each blue segment should have one of the names of the 7 seas engraved in the silicone in the same color brown as on the other side. Similarly on the brown, opposite side of the bracelet, each of the brown segments should have one of the names of the 7 continents engraved in the silicone with same color blue that’s on the opposite side.
We’d like to see the engraved lettering use a modern font like Helvetica Neue, or something similar.
7 Seas:
1. Arctic
2. N. Atlantic
3. S. Atlantic
4. N. Pacific
5. S. Pacific
6. Indian
7. Southern
7 Continents:
1. Asia
2. Africa
3. N. America
4. S. America
5. Antarctica
6. Europe
7. Australia
Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions about this proposed version…thanks for your patience and effort, we realize this is a lot of detailed instructions to take into account.

Hi Everyone. We have reviewed all the submitted designs to date and we first want to thank you all again for your creative, beautiful submissions! We have 2 weeks left in our contest and there are 2 types of designs we want to focus on for the rest of the contest.
The first one is actually based on Design in our contest. We like the single silicone bracelet made up of 14 round segments. Here are some specific suggested revisions for Design :
1.) We think Design in its current format is a little on the feminine side, and we want to make the bracelet appealing for as many people as possible (girls, boys, women, and men). We want the design to remain all silicone so it can be produced via injection molding, but we’d like to see if making the round segments smaller would make it look less feminine? We’d like to maintain in inner-circumference of 7.5 inches (19 cm). Perhaps there could be a thin connecting piece of the silicone that could act as a spacer in between the 14 round segments to achieve this adjustment?
2.) In addition to making the round segments smaller, we would like to some some different shades of brown and blue used in the segments to “tone down” the look and make it more appealing to both girls and boys.
3.) In Design it appears that the silicone is shiny and reflective. We would like to see the bracelet made with a more matted type of silicone, in part to make it more appealing to both genders.
4.) We would like to see the brown and blue segments alternating (i.e. blue, brown, blue, brown, etc)…as opposed to all the blue on one side and all the brown segments of the other side.
5.) Finally, we would like to see a version of the bracelet which incorporates engraved lettering in the silicone on each of the round segments. The 7 blue segments would be engraved with one of the 7 seas listed below. And the 7 brown segments would be engraved with one of the 7 continents listed below. We’d like to see the engraved lettering use a modern font like Helvetica Neue, or something similar.
7 Seas:
1. Arctic

1. So you don't want rounded shape design for the segments?
A1: Yes, rather than circular segments we are leaning towards using more oblong, American style football shaped segments.
2. If we use silicone material, it's means the bracelet has high elasticity? am I right?
A2: Yes. The bracelet will need to have some flexibility / elasticity in order for people to slip the bracelet on and off their wrists. The initial size of the bracelet (inner circumference) will be 7.5 inches or 19 cm.
3. Are you like power balance bracelet? are the design direction like that?
A3: I'm not sure exactly what the "power balance bracelet" is...can you send a link to see what you're referring to?
4. Can we use stainless or some metal material for the list or the list are made by silicone to?
A4: We would like the entire bracelet to be made of silicone.
5. Am I right the segment which injected water and soil made by silicone?
A5: Yes. We are planning on injecting / inserting small amounts of the water and soil samples in the 14 different segments of the bracelet at some point during the manufacturing process. We have not yet finalized the exact way this will be done yet so for now we are staying focused on getting our ideal design in place and then we will address the manufacturing process.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any follow-up questions!
