Dogeared Jewels & Gifts Celebrates 20 Years by Supporting Nonprofit Partners with Dedicated, Locally Crafted Jewelry

Los Angeles, CA – Dogeared Jewels & Gifts® continues celebrating 20 years and its Karma in Action program by designing new pieces dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer, a cause the company has actively supported for six years.  A new Wish For A Cure necklace and a new Make A Wish Hope pin will be previewed at the August trade shows. Dogeared is a trendsetting fashion brand that creates handcrafted jewels and gifts in Los Angeles.

Proceeds from the sale of these two new designs will be donated to Stand Up to Cancer, one of the four organizations in Dogeared’s Karma in Action program.  Stand Up to Cancer is committed to creating awareness and building support to accelerate cancer research.  Their mission is to bring together the best and the brightest in the medical community to end cancer for good.

Dogeared will show theses new jewels, along with its latest line, at the New York ENK Accessorie Circuit Show, July 31 – August 2, the New York International Gift Fair, August 14 – 18, and Project Las Vegas, August 22-24.  Retail prices for the necklaces will range from $46  to $54, and the Hope pin will retail at $18.

“20 years in business, and it’s still as simple as it was when we started on this journey. Our jewels have the power to connect, inspire, and become part of people’s lives. I believe Dogeared has been successful because we design in the spirit of love, joy, and possibility.  Using that as our inspiration, everything we create has meaning, and contributes to completing the circle… good karma, good energy, and good relationships.” Marcia Maizel-Clarke, Dogeared founder & designer.
