I just LOVE the work that Allison Aruta does! Not only because her designs are so earthy and beautiful, but because so many of her products are associated with great causes. Allison was recently honored by the Long Island Press for her charitable work through her jewelry company. I was lucky enough to be one her guests and left the evening in tears and totally inspired to give back somehow. That’s why I’ve been posting more charity links as of late.When I was in the hospital, Allison made me a bracelet like this that said “Stay Strong”. And when times were tough (and they got tough) I would hold onto the bracelet to calm myself down. I will never forget that.The contest design created by Allison Aruta was inspired by Five for Fighting’s music and band-sponsored charity site. The handcrafted silver piece is engraved with the lyrics “History Starts Now,” from the FFF song “World.”

very cute. Very inspirational.
Wow. That bracelet is gorgeous. I’d like to find something like that for my grandma. My grandma passed away a year ago, as of the 25th, and something with that kind of inspirational message, as “History Starts Now” seems fitting.
I am a history and language arts teacher. This bracelet would be a wonderful way for me to accessorize and send a message to my middle school and high school students each day.
Love it! Thanks for the contests!

This piece of jewelry is very thought provoking, like a piece of art in and of itself. I love it! Ola1434@aol.com
I think this would be an awesome graduation gift!!
I have always been enthralled by earthy pieces that make a statement. In this case, Allison Aruta’s designs are not just reminiscent of nature and of course- stunning, but they say something. Theyre message is as beautiful as her work and I LOVE that.
peace and love
Vera – I haven’t been able to view your site for almost over a year now, but I’m back and your site is as fabulous as ever!!
This bracelet is amazing – you always find such wonderful items!! I work as a Program Coordinator at a ranch for children that are up for adoption or foster care. The abuse that they have endured is mind boggling. The phrase “History starts now” is something I will definitely start using with my kids!! Wow – I love powerful sayings!
Regardless of whether or not I win this one … I’ll be checking out her site and hopefully be able to get some of the generous people that help my organization out to donate some money to purchase some of these for my kids!!! Thanks again for always sharing things with us that we might never have known existed!!!
I wish someone had made me a bracelet when I was in the hospital. This girl is amazing. I love that her idea of charity is all about giving back, and not just profit. Loves it!
Beautiful!
