Jewelers for Children
Jewelers for Children

Jewelers for Children was founded in 1999 by the U.S. jewelry industry with the mission of helping children in need. Since its inception, JFC has donated more than $58 million to programs benefiting children whose lives have been affected by illness, abuse, or neglect through our charity partners St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, the Make-A-Wish® America, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the National CASA/GAL Association. JFC also provides support to the Make-A-Wish® International, the Organization for Autism Research and the Santa-America Fund. This nationwide success is due to the continuing generosity of jewelry trade organizations, jewelry and watch manufacturing companies, jewelry retail stores, individual jewelry professionals, and jewelry consumers.

JFC's goals are to unite the generous charitable giving efforts of the jewelry industry to support as many children in need as possible. The support from the jewelry industry has allowed for more than 1,940 children to be granted wishes in the U.S. and more than 12,000 to have their wish granted in India. More than 53,000 children in foster care have been helped with the support from the jewelry industry and more than 125,000 women have received support at clinics in developing countries. JFC's support has also provided for a bone marrow transplant unit, a chair in Genes and Genetic therapy and a stem cell transplant laboratory, all providing for hundreds of children to be treated for deadly cancers.

In 2020, more than 1,000 companies stepped up to become part of the industry's charity. JFC's success is achieved through the use of an extensive network of dedicated board members who are required to serve on committees and assist in involving more companies within the jewelry industry and increasing the amount of support we are able to provide to our charity partners. Jack Gabriel, CEO & Founder of Gabriel & Co. joined the JFC's Board of Directors committee in 2017. Gabriel & Co. is Premier Donator and Gabriel supported Jewelers for Children with their 91>19 bracelet during the pandemic and their on-going Gabriel Love Foundation Stronger Together™ effort as well as many years of fundraising support.

Hope Collection

100% of Gabriel & Co. proceeds will be used to help programs benefiting children through the following Jewelers for Children charities: St. Jude Children Research Hospital®, Make-A-Wish®, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the National CASA/GAL Association

WJA Foundation
WJA Foundation

The Women’s Jewelry Association Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 corporation created to support WJA’s mission of providing educational opportunities that allow women to reach their full career potential. The Foundation accepts gifts from individuals and corporations that are used to fund the association’s extensive scholarship and grant programs.

The centers are places to gather, study, and work. We pay the women to attend classes in the morning and embroider in the afternoon. Without this project, most have no means to educate themselves. Through Afghan Hands, they leave the walls of their compounds and attend seminars on basic human, legal, and religious rights. They prepare for work as free women do elsewhere in the world. This way, no one will ever imprison them in the name of law.

Cydney Elliott

Cydney’s earliest memories of jewelry were in getting into her mother’s and grandmother’ jewelry collections. Although she’s always loved the appearance of antique jewelry — especially Art Nouveau and Edwardian — she had never considered it as a career path until her mother- in-law encouraged her to enroll in courses at GIA and to start working at a local boutique.

While obtaining her Associate’s Degree from Saddleback College in American Sign Language Interpreting, Cydney’s instructors had emphasized the frustration felt by the deaf and hard of hearing communities when trying to interact with the larger hearing community, and how rare it was for somebody to engage with them in a patient manner. Cydney witnessed this frustration while helping as an interpreter for a Deaf friend, as well as when employed at a fine jewelry location, and resolved to be an advocate for clear and compassionate interactions with that community. After completing her Graduate Gemologist diploma at GIA, her goal is to work as an appraiser. She also plans on creating content that is accessible to the deaf and hard of hearing communities. As an individual with dyslexia and dyscalculia, she also wants to make content that is accessible for those with learning disabilities so that they can not only share in her education and knowledge but ultimately feel empowered when selecting jewelry.

Oksana Membreno

We are delighted to announce that this year’s WJA - Gabriel Love Foundation® Student Scholarship for 2022 in the amount of $5,000 has been awarded to Oksana Membreno, a student at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The scholarship provides funding for students who want to achieve professional growth within the jewelry industry, and who plan to use their careers in jewelry to improve their local communities and participate in charitable efforts.

Oksana was born in Kiev to a Ukrainian-Russian mother and a Peruvian father. Growing up her family changed countries and continents three times where they settled in Canada (Montreal). Formally educated in four different languages, she is a true Citizen of the world and has weaved her knowledge of languages and cultures into her professional life. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Human Relations (Applied Human Sciences) from Concordia University (Montreal) and has worked extensively as an independent published writer/journalist. Oksana has also worked in finance and banking in the past 10 years as well as a multilingual certified and licensed translator and interpreter. Oksana’s love of fine jewelry is firmly connected to her maternal grandmother’s passion for gems and jewelry. At age 8, she received a gold ring with an amethyst and that gift changed her life. She always knew that she would eventually somehow end up in the fine jewelry industry. Back in 2001, without any prior or professional knowledge, she landed my first job at a high-end jewelry store, La Maison Birks (known also as Canada’s Tiffany). She recalls ending her sales pitch with “the diamonds are GIA certified”. Fast-forward a couple of decades and she is currently enrolled in the Graduate Gemology program at GIA.

After obtaining her Gemologist degree she wants to establish a digital presence with content that educates, entertains, and demystifies the jewelry industry. She strongly believes in the transformational power of education and is looking forward to developing initiatives with local jewelry stores and industry partners to educate youth in middle school and high schools from underserved communities on the lasting value of gems and precious metals.

"Thank you, I would like to assure Gabriel & Co. that your gift is not in vain, I will not disappoint. Your gift is in safe hands, and I will put it to use in a way that brings glory to God, the source of all good gifts and will make Gabriel & Co. proud. In 1 John 4:8, the Bible mentions that “God is Love”. When WJA announced me as a recipient of specifically the Gabriel LOVE foundation scholarship, I took it as a wink from God. Thank you, thank you, thank you again. Thank you for believing in my dream and for giving me the opportunity to turn it into a reality. Deeply humbled and incredibly grateful" - Oksana Membreno.

JOANNA PARRISH

The Gabriel Love Foundation® winner for our second Gabriel Love Foundation® Scholarship with the Women's Jewelry Association (WJA) in 2021 was JOANNA PARRISH.

Joanna Parrish, born and raised in interior Alaska, is currently a Jewelry-Making and Repair student at North Bennet Street School in Boston, Massachusetts. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree in English in 2018, she went on to serve with AmeriCorps for two years before pursuing her jewelry education working with low-income students.

A future 2022 graduate, she hopes to go on to work as a bench jeweler and to share her love for jewelry and metal-working with her community.

ZUHAILA AZIZ

The Gabriel Love Foundation® winner for our second Gabriel Love Foundation® Scholarship with the Women's Jewelry Association (WJA) in 2020 was Zuhaila Aziz.

Zuhaila Aziz was awarded the WJA-Gabriel Love Foundation Student Scholarship, the annual $5,000 prize given to a female student enrolled in design or non-design courses through a jewelry or metalsmithing program.

This year’s recipient is Zulaikha Aziz, a human rights attorney and founder of Mazahri, a purpose-driven fine jewelry company pioneered on the principle that business should be a force for good in the world, and that jewelry can empower the people involved in each step of its creation, according to a prepared statement from WJA.

She’s new to jewelry, but Aziz has more than a decade of experience working with multilateral organizations, governmental bodies, academia, and civil society organizations. She is currently completing a Graduate Gemologist (G.G.) diploma at the Gemological Institute of America. She also holds a BA from McGill University, an MSc from the London School of Economics, and a JD from Berkeley Law.

“Aziz’s love of jewelry and colored gemstones is grounded in her personal story and her Afghan heritage,” reads the prepared statement. “Her family fled Afghanistan in 1982 and emigrated to the U.S. during a previous war. Her grandmother was able to smuggle out ancestral jewelry, some of which was passed on to Aziz.”

Aziz said in the same statement, “I deeply felt the power and meaning of these precious jewels, not only in connecting us to the past, but in showing us the potential for future growth. My grandmother taught me never to forget where I came from and [to remember] my inherent human dignity.”

XABRINA MICHEL'LI THOMPSON

The Gabriel Love Foundation® winner for our second Gabriel Love Foundation® Scholarship with the Women's Jewelry Association (WJA) in 2019 was Xabrina Michel’li Thompson who is currently attending the Gemological Institute of America's graduate program.

Xabrina Michel'li Thompson is a 22-year-old graduate of one of South Africa’s leading girls' schools, Epworth High School. She is pursuing a graduate gemologist diploma from GIA, for which she will use her scholarship funds.

She is a student member and the first woman in her country to join the Women’s Jewelry Association. Thompson works in the jewelry industry and as part of her duties and responsibilities she has traveled widely, particularly in Asia and the Far East, marketing and sourcing jewelry products. In this process she identified a business opportunity, which she researched and introduced to her employer. As a result, a subsidiary company was formed, in which Thompson was given a share holding. She’ll use her newfound gemological knowledge to develop a freshwater pearl, colored stone, and sterling silver jewelry brand. She also wants to establish a WJA Chapter in her home country in South Africa to help women in her country and community achieve their dreams.

MAGAN MARTIN BYRON

The Gabriel Love Foundation™ winner for our first Gabriel Love Foundation Scholarship with the Women's Jewelry Association (WJA) in 2018 was Magan Byron who is currently attending the Gemological Institute of America's graduate program.

Magan Martin Byron, who earned her BFA in jewelry and metalworking from the University of Georgia, is currently enrolled at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and lives in Athens, Georgia. Magan's passionate submission illustrated her dedication to upholding the high standards that GIA is known for and joining a community of jewelers who are honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy on what jewelry products are sold to consumers.

Magan says, "I've come across a disturbing amount of dishonesty since I began working in this industry. If consumers aren't able to trust what they're buying, they will stop buying altogether. As a future GIA Graduate Gemologist, I will ensure that I am always 100% certain about what I'm buying and what I'm selling, and in turn would uphold the integrity of the jewelry industry within the communities that I work and live in".
