I have given to several charities through sales of my jewelry. I make specific items, and donate a portion, or all of the sale to the cause. I made a bracelet for domestic violence, in which proceeds were donated to Bridges, one for breast cancer, one for funds for Wounded Warrior Project, and some “thin blue line” jewelry to donate to the Officer Down Memorial Page, for police officers killed in the line of duty. I love doing things like this, but unfortunately, I never sell any “regular jewelry”, so I don’t make money to buy more supplies. I am sure I will be doing it again at some point. It really does feel good to give!

What a beautiful and wonderful idea and message. I use Kazuri beads from Kenya, paper beads from Uganda and sometimes Muzuri beads (made of barkcloth) in my designs for the same purpose. Purchasing these beads help the women in those countries support their families. And yes, customers enjoy hearing the stories behind the beads and I truly enjoy telling the stories.

hi Dee,
Thank you dear for this awesome post and all the valuable information. I dont know what I’m doing so far in the jewelry or entreprunreal space yet that’s for sure.. 🙂 Ive been wanting to find a link to women’s groups who make or sell gems or jewelry and fund or buy from them but this has opened up a whole new set of views for me. Thank you for sharing this info and for the really inspirational words about the program and what we can all do so easily to support this organization and their work to change lives for the better.
