Jewelry with a Conscience™

“Be the change you want to see in the world” Gandhi

“I'm starting with the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his ways....” Michael Jackson

Seriously?! Does the world need yet another jewelry artist? I hardly think so! But I do believe we need everyday champions, individuals willing to stand up and fight for those who cannot; someone to raise a voice for those who have lost, or perhaps never found, theirs.

Hi! I’m Kathie Lichtig, Kate to my friends. Jewelry artist, social entrepreneur, and cockeyed optimist. Welcome to my virtual home! This is where my heart lives and breathes. Each day, we spend hard earned money to buy things we need and desire. Each day we hear about the corporate goals fueled by our purchases. Some are in line with our own dreams and goals….some are not. What if the goods, services, and gifts you purchase not only helped to grow a small business (job growth on Main Street vs Wall Street), but also made a significant difference in the life of a patient living with a catastrophic illness? What if it could help the patient’s family get some much needed respite or support the researchers feverishly working to discover a therapy to minimize symptoms or prolong life? What if??? I believe that together, we can make this can happen!

Take your time and browse the Heart of Hope Jewelry™ gallery to your heart’s content. I can already hear you say “oooohhh, shiny!” as you check out the bracelets, earrings and necklaces. I hope the stories of my friends, family and circumstances that inspired the design of each piece of jewelry will capture your heart.

However you found this site, we are now joined, through the magic of the internet, in a creative effort to make a difference in the human condition. A significant portion of each purchase is directed to a not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving a specific community. As you consider the gifts you give for any occasion, including the one you give yourself, I sincerely hope you will consider giving a gift of hope. Each time you make a purchase or share the site with friends/family, you become a treasured ambassador for the studio, and I thank you! Please take the time to become a Studio “fan” and share your story on our Facebook page.

Thank you for visiting the site….glad to have you with me on the journey!!
