The 1138 Collection

The election was a particularly trying one– while I was elated that Obama won, it was incredibly disappointing to learn that Prop 8 passed in California.
Did you know that when couples marry, they are guaranteed 1,138 federal rights, protections and benefits in the United States? Those who are unable to marry are denied those benefits.
If you support same-sex marriage, you can donate directly to a group that will work toward that cause. N at Two Chicks Nest is a terrific source of info.
Now, you can also make that statement with your jewelry. The Love, Peace and Hope site has some stunning, modern pieces, and 10% of the proceeds from your purchase go to Lambda Legal, an organization dedicated to achieving equality for LGBTQ individuals. I’m really impressed that the designer is so vocal about his support for the cause. While I’m not interested in a diamond engagement ring for various reasons which deserve their own post, this setting (with a thinner band) would be gorgeous with a yellow sapphire as its center stone.
The 1138 collection specifically honors those rights mentioned above, and who wouldn’t be proud to wear this gorgeous rose gold necklace? I can’t think of a classier way to display your social conscience.
What do you think about jewelry with a voice?
