My Mother is the Queen of Gift Shops

Anyone who owns their own business knows how much work goes into making your dreams come true. My mother and myself work around the clock for Jewels For Hope. We are always brainstorming, always coming up with new designs, and always always trying to get our work into new stores.

We both feel it in our bones, that 2015 is our year. This is it. Our big year. We are working harder then ever to get our charity creations out there.... and... it's working!

We have created a new line for this year... a nautical line.. which was actually just gifted at the MTV Movie Awards Gift Lounge in association with The Artisan Group.

This line donates a portion of the profits to Save The Sound. Here are a couple of pieces we have...



Perfect for everyday wear these pieces are great for kids, men, or women!

Well... as hard as we are working, I have to say it is paying off. My mother, calls gift shops every single day trying to get them to look at our line. I am proud to say, a couple of them loved our work and we are now *officially* in their gift shops!!!! *happy dance*


We are in the Submarine Force Museum Gift Shop and The Marine Mammal Stranding Center Gift Shop!

This year is it for us. Our goal is to get into 4 or 5 more shops and get into a couple magazines. Do you have any goals for your business this year? Be positive about it! 2015 is a great year. I feel we all can do amazing things this year. Good Luck to all! <3 br="">

Jewels For Hope on NBC's Night Shift

A ton of big things have been going on for Jewels For Hope, since my last time writing. I really need to get back into the swing of things here with my blog! So, to go off with a bang, I figured my first post back will be about something MAJOR!

Jewels For Hope is proud to announce that our jewelry was featured on NBC's The Night Shift!

Yep. How cool is that?

We worked through The Artisan Group to send one of our bracelets and the stylist of the show then contacted us directly to make a completely different, special piece, just for the show.

Here was the piece we created...

Created with Wood Beads and Orange Cats Eye Beads on a Tan Cord with a Button enclosure. 

It was shown on March 16th's Episode!





It was worn on the "bad guy" of the episode. I think it looks great on him! It was so exciting to see our work on Television!

Something even more exciting? One of the main actors of the show, Brendan Fehr (whom my mother and I have both loved since his Roswell days) actually wrote back to me on instagram after "liking" the photo!



"I'm glad you shared that because it gave me an opportunity to feel good, and not for myself, but for you, your mother, and your business, especially your business giving back. Thank You."~ Brendan Fehr, actor; The Night Shift


 Isn't that so sweet, what he said? It made me love him even more!

In honor of this awesome occasion, we want to offer 15% off this special Bracelet with code THANKS15

Consumer Press Event

Last month I was lucky enough to represent The Artisan Group at a Consumer Press Gifting Event. I was there representing a ton of amazing hand crafted products from some of the talented members of TAG. I was there schmoozing and talking with many members of the press about bath and body products, jewelry, handmade cards, everything.

If you want to see some really great handcrafted items check out TAG's pintrest page, showing at least 1 product from every member of The Artisan Group!

At this event I met some awesome reporters, radio hosts, and editors. One of the radio hosts of Sirius XM Radio, Meredith Ochs, loved my heart necklace so much she was so excited to get one from the gifting. She just sent us an email last week of her rocking our Swarovski Crystal Heart Pendant while taking a selfie with Bill Nye The Science Guy!



Isn't that so cool? The heart really pops on Meredith! I thought this photo was so cute- so happy Meredith sent it along!

I would have never thought I would ever say Bill Nye The Science Guy in the same sentence as Jewels For Hope haha.You never know what will happen in life. I love getting surprises from connections made from talking with people about Jewels For Hope.

Small Business Saturday! #ShopSmall

It's Small Business Saturday! 

Do you shop small? I love finding local stores or small businesses online to shop from. Personally, I usually browse Etsy and The Artisan Group's Pintrest page for some awesome finds. Shopping from handmade artists really is something I love. So when Shop Small Business Saturday rolls around, it gives me more of an excuse to shop (like I need an excuse, I know.).

Are you shopping small today?

No matter which small biz shop you visit today-- Thanks for Shopping Small Business Saturday!

Celebs Love Jewels For Hope

I was scrolling through our site the other day and was just in awe at all the celebs we actually have showing off our jewels. It amazes me every day how much both myself and my mother have accomplished. I am so incredibly proud of my mom; she has been the best mentor and business partner any person could ask for.

So, now of course I have to brag a bit about the celebs. Thanks to The Artisan Group we have learned so much and have had the opportunity to get our products in the hands of these amazing actors and actresses. Some of the celebs we have on our site we actually met ourselves, and my mom had the balls guts to go up to them and talk to them about Jewels For Hope.

Tim Daly 

Sarah Rafferty From Suits 
(We actually talked and she grew up around the corner from where I live right now in CT!)

Meredith Vieria


Stacy London

Jennifer Love Hewitt

I am so incredibly proud of what we accomplished, I had to brag a bit. When I started working for Jewels For Hope 3-4 years ago, I would have never thought that we would ever get this far. It's like my baby, I love what I do and couldn't wish for anything more.

Do you love what you do? Or am I just crazy for loving my job so much? haha.

'Tis The Season

I can't believe it's the end of November already! Where did the time go?

We've been busy creating some special holiday pieces, the perfect bit of bling to give to that special lady in your life (or a little treat for yourself. I tend to buy myself the most Christmas gifts haha)

We are a little bit obsessed with our Snow Flake Earrings.


Don't those look like Snow Flakes!

Made with Swarovski Crystals they are the perfect added touch this holiday season!



This is my kind of snow flake. The kind that doesn't mean I have to shovel - and makes me feel pretty. If only this was the only snow we would have this holiday season!

Jewels For Hope was on BONES on FOX

I am so happy to announce that our Swarovski Pearl Necklace was shown on Bones on Fox this past week!

My mother has been watching Bones from the very beginning and has seen every episode. When we found out about a month ago our necklace was to be on it- my mom screamed like a little girl! We were both just so excited about it! Our jewels on television! That's huge! We wanted to keep it quiet until we actually saw it on the screen. Now, we're shouting it from the rooftops! Check it out!



Above are obviously much better shots from my friends ipad haha. Since I don't have an ipad, you can see my crappy cell phone shot of my TV as I was watching it- showing the actress standing with David Boreanaz (such a cutie!).


Isn't that so cool!


We sold a bunch of these necklaces last night at the event we did! I'm still in shock that our necklace was actually on the show! Are you a bones fan? Did you see the necklace on the show? Let me know if you did!
