Mauri Pioppo's Cause Jewelry
Filed in archive Jewelry for a Cause by tammy on September 6, 2007
Mauri Pioppo definitely is trying to help a number of causes through her jewelry design skills, no doubt about it. Under her Karma link on her web site, she lists a number of jewelry items where part of the proceeds goes to various charities.
One close to my heart is her Paws for a Cause white or yellow gold necklaces (see Debra Messing wearing one below):
This fine jewelry was created with the intention to generate support for animals in need. 15% of all profits from the sale of these necklaces will be donated to the aspca
. Inscriptions on the back read: Give a Dog a Home, Give a Cat a Throne, and Give a Horse a Place to Roam.
Other cause include breast cancer, the American Legacy Foundation, the Hope for Henry Foundation, and her latest cause has been the Natural Resources Defense Council, which is sponsors through her new LiveGreen collection:
When designing the LiveGreen collection, Pioppo felt compelled to use recycled gold because there is no environmental destruction, no contaminated fresh water, and no displaced communities harmed during the mining process. Pioppo believes in karma, making it a point to give back to the universe for her life's blessings. "I am motivated to share my energy, giving back to the organizations that channel their efforts into guiding us to take action in ways that make a difference in our world. This is one of my passions. What we do matters", says Pioppo. "Each of us does our part in contributing in the ways we know how. I convey the message through this medium. Creating something beautiful that serves as a reminder to choose to live consciously".
