Jewelry designer Sue Gillerlain and eating disorder recovery star Jenni Schaefer (author of Life Without Ed: How One Woman Declared Independence from Her Eating Disorder and How You Can Too, McGraw-Hill) have teamed up to produce recovery jewelry. Although I haven’t seen the products, the website features pictures that look absolutely charming.
The line features:
- a sterling silver charm with “Life Without Ed” inscribed, along with a hand-drawn flower
- a sterling silver bracelet and charm with a freshwater pearl and also inscribed with “Life Without Ed”
- a sterling silver necklace and charm with a reverse double rope chain and the “Life Without Ed” message
Why you should buy one:
- 10 % of each sale go towards the Seattle-based National Eating Disorders Organization (NEDA) to promote awareness, education and support
- you will be counteracting other jewelry that supports pro-eating disorder messages
- you will be spreading the word that recovery from an eating disorder is possible
