This line of eco-friendly jewelry is inspired by the symbolism of a bird in flight (seen in the Becky’s Fund logo) – it represents the spirit of hope, beauty, and journey. It symbolizes the hope for an end to domestic violence.

Each pendant is made from bamboo (sustainable) and stainless steel (100% recyclable) and comes with a 24” stainless steel ball chain that can be easily resized by cutting excess chain with pliers/cutter.

50% of each sale goes to Becky’s Fund – let’s help end Domestic Violence!

Melissa Lew is proud to partner with Becky’s Fund, a national non-profit dedicated to domestic violence awareness and protection.  A percentage of all Transcendence sales are donated to Becky’s Fund.  Also, keep an eye out for a new line of Becky’s Fund jewelry!

“The mission of Becky’s Fund is fourfold:

1. Foster awareness: help people understand the elements of domestic violence through education, such as how prevalent it is, why battered victims cannot always leave easily, and what can to be done to end domestic violence,
2. Encourage advocacy: encourage people to care about ending domestic violence,
3. Promote activism: take an active role in helping battered victims find safety through counseling, education and legal representation, and
4. Create support: provide assistance for the support of victims of domestic violence
