Support Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month!

In honor of Cystic Fibrosis Month, owner of Heart and Stone Jewelry, Julie Booras, is using her design skills to bring awareness. In her Northborough, MA studio, she has created a unique line of charity jewelry that gives back. One piece in particular that is near and dear to her heart supports  Cystic Fibrosis.  The piece is called “Breathe,”  and 25% of the purchase price is donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is leading the world in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis. More research is funded by CFF than any other organization. The funds raised by CFF have helped make nearly every CF drug available possible. As a nonprofit, donor-supported organization they focus on supporting the development of new drugs to fight the disease, improve the quality of life for those with CF, and ultimately find a cure.

Julie was inspired to create a beautiful line of fine, recycled silver jewelry that gave back because she felt that charity jewelry needed a better representation. The “Breathe” necklace was inspired by the tattoo, Amy Carpenter Hearn, had on her wrist. She was a very special person whose life ended way too soon. She lost her battle with Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 22 on Easter Sunday 2012.http://www.heartandstonejewelry.com/breathe-necklace.php
