jem • lew: the love project

I’ve been busy working on a new project with fellow designer, Jennifer Miller of the JEM collection!

The love project is a collaborative, charitable line that we will be officially launching at the exclusive Secret Room’s MTV Movie Award’s Gifting Suite at the end of May 2012. A percentage of each piece sold will be donated to various charities, such as Becky’s Fund, DC Central Kitchen, and Miriam’s Kitchen.

Each piece is eco-friendly and socially conscious, made from bamboo (sustainable plant) and stainless steel (100% recyclable), and features the project’s 4 heart logo, each hand painted with a splash of color. Each eye-catching necklace comes with a 24” stainless steel ball chain that can easily be resized by cutting excess chain with pliers/cutter. An informational card is also included with each piece and is printed on FSC-Certified paper stock with soy ink.

Sneak Peak:
