We so admire our friend, Jessica Mindich attacking the subject of gun violence head on and in such a beautiful, meaningful way. For years her Jewelry for a Cause Jewelry that Sparkles with good intentions! has created a line of jewelry that benefits organizations and causes doing good works all over the world. The Caliber Collection is made up of metal from 250 guns and bullet casings seized by the Newark Police Department. The result is a series of pieces that embody the gun’s transformation from a destructive weapon to a powerful symbol of renewal. A portion of the proceeds from each sale is used to fund future Gun Buyback Amnesty programs in Newark. It is Jessica’s hope that this will be a model that for other cities across the nation.
