Close to My Heart Causes

Please note: Items in the Close to My Heart Causes category are excluded from promotional discounts. Several of my designs including my Mother's Jewelry for a Cure for Alzheimer's bracelets incorporate handmade beads from The Karen Hill Tribe of Northern Thailand. These craftspeople use traditional tribal methods passed down from generation to generation using fine silver content of 95-99%. These tribes face a variety of problems including poverty, disease and lack of opportunity. The purchase of the components to create jewelry containing Hill Tribe Silver helps support this tribe.

Hope for a Cure for Breast Cancer

I have created a bracelet design in dedication to my friend, Mary Myers who lost the battle to breast cancer. I am very grateful to have known her. She touched so many lives, a kind and generous soul who always put others needs before her own. She truly was an angel on this earth.

$10 of each bracelet purchase will be donated to a charity in Mary's name toward the cure for breast cancer.

Mother's Jewelry for a Cure for Alzheimer's

Mother's Birthstone Jewelry

I have created a custom Mother's Bracelet for a friend to present to her mom who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease. It is a bracelet with birthstones of her six children as well as her and her husband's birthstones. I am continuing to offer Mother's Gemstone Jewelry as heirloom pieces, custom designed to order. Pictured are a few examples of custom birthstone bracelets.

Please contact me with your interest for a custom Mother's Birthstone bracelet.

10% of these jewelry purchases will be donated to Alzheimer's research in honor of the special mom and daughter who inspired these pieces.

Support Our Troops

I have created a necklace design to honor and support our brave soldiers and in hopes of bringing some relief to those who are directly affected by the war. Shown is the Leopard Skin Jasper ACU Pendant, named for the desert Army Combat Uniform.

$5.00 of the purchase of each necklace will go to:
Soldiers' Angels - Operation Outreach/SOS: Kids.
