Amanda’s Style File: Gifts That Give Back
In the spirit of the season, here are eight pieces of jewelry you can give that also will help you give back.
While giving and receiving a gift of jewelry is always special, there are a lot of jewelry designers who are making it more so by donating proceeds from the sale of select pieces to charities and those in need.
For some consumers, the donation will be a driving force for the purchase, while for others it will be sweet icing on the cake.
Jewelers of America recently conducted a media tour to promote jewelry for the holidays and “Gifts that Give Back” was one of the gift ideas to bring an added layer of sentiment to holiday purchases.
Here are a few Style File selections to explore.
