Back in November, my mom blogger pal, Jennifer Bunt, who writes Fasten Her Seatbelt shared her jewelry collection and the inspiration behind it with me. She asked me to feature it for Small Business Saturday and I happily agreed. Except, I was in my last weeks of school and my professor was driving me loca with all the last minute assignments. (And okay, fine, I was a bit of a procrastinator and was scrambling around reading and writing papers.) But I'm sharing it now because Jennifer's collection really is beautiful and I think her jewelry makes for a great gift. (HINT: Valentine's Day and Mother's Day is coming up.)
Please read the inspiration behind Jennifer's Autism Awareness jewelry collection.

The creation of the AutismAwareness Collection was inspired
by my personal connection with Autism
Spectrum Disorders,
as well as my belief in giving back to the community.
When
our daughter was four years old, my husband
and I were told Emma was on
the Autism Spectrum -
PDD-NOS to be exact. Since her diagnosis, we have
worked
hard to ensure Em could be the best that she can be.
Em has
an amazing team of people working with her and
for her - each day I am
amazed at the person she is:
compassionate, artistic and incredibly
intuitive.
Many of my designs are inspired from Emma...
my
feelings, my hopes, my dreams for her.
Each piece has been handcrafted
in studio, from 100%
recycled sterling silver - it's the ethical thing to
do! -
and features unique pieces designed to 'start a conversation'.
Although
there is something for everyone in the Collection;
The unisex 'Puzzle
Disc' bracelet ($45), the 'Hammered Puzzle' pin
($35) and more, the
'Build Your Own Awareness' Necklace
has been very popular, as charms can
be added over time.
Charms start at $45 and range to $95.
Each charm is
unique
and conveys a message using a combination of symbols, and
initial
charms can be added starting at $10.
$10.00 from the purchase of each
item from the Autism Awareness
Collection will be donated to a
participating non-profit of your choice.
($5.00 on items costing less
than $50.00)
