Put your unwanted jewelry to great use!

Your jewelry donations can help St. Ann Center provide vital health services to elderly and disabled clients

Cleaning out a jewelry box? It doesn't matter if the necklaces are out of style, the bracelets are broken, the rings don't fit, the pin has a rhinestone missing or one earring has gone missing... St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care will recycle it for good in our vintage jewelry collection. Whether it's quality vintage jewelry, funky costume jewelry, or even broken, tarnished or downright ugly jewelry-- our non-profit center can use it all.

Our knowledgeable volunteers will sort it, clean it, repair it or imaginatively reinvent it, price it and sell it. Even pieces beyond repair get put to good use -- they are cleaned, bundled and sold by the pound to artists and crafters for their projects. Our vintage jewelry collection sales are legendary.... and the donations SO appreciated!

ALL proceeds go to help our non-profit center fund necessary health & wellness day services to our clients of all ages and abilities, from tiny infants to the frail elderly to those people with disabilities to those dealing with Alzheimer's.
