Every month I will be designing a piece of jewelry to raise money for a charity.

These pieces will be one-of-a-kind collectible-quality pieces made using the finest materials. They will be full of all kinds of intricate details often incorporating design elements that hold significance to the charity I've selected to receive the donation from its sale. They will most likely always include one-of-a-kind artisan lampwork beads to make them especially unique.

The piece will arrive nicely gift-boxed along with a story card about it and the charity it was made to benefit.

A full 50% of the proceeds from the sale of the piece will be donated to the designated charity.

I will select a different charity each month; sometimes one that is especially dear to me; sometimes one based on its "Awareness Month" and sometimes one chosen due to timeliness and current need...as would have been the case after Hurricane Katrina. I will also select charities based on ideas and recommendations from you. So if you have a charity that is special to you, e-mail me with information and I will certainly consider it.

I will do my best to get the Charity Piece up on the website within the first few days of the month. I'll post a notice on my home page when it's up. You can also get to the page by clicking the Jewelry for Charity link in the left side navigation column. The pieces will remain available until sold. Once their month has passed, they can be accessed from the list on this page.

Charity Pieces are not available for wholesale and no discounts or coupons of any kind can be applied to their purchase.

While the shopping cart for this site is under construction, you'll find a link on the description page to bring you to my ArtFire Studio to purchase these Charity Pieces or you can contact me if you wish to make other arrangements.
