...as are the founders!
"Philanthropy is not usually the word
associated with the launch of a successful jewelry line. For Anzie Stein,
however, her philanthropic mission was the cornerstone of her company, Anzie.
What began as a coping method when her husband was diagnosed with cancer
quickly grew into a unique and compelling passion for her and her entire
family."
"While accompanying her husband,
Barry to New York and LA for treatment, Anzie spent her free time browsing
through numerous boutiques and was inspired to create a line of jewelry to help
raise funds for colorectal cancer awareness. They sought out high quality
colored gemstones that inspired the creation of the Lifesaver Bracelet. Each
subsequent visit to New York and LA became both “healing and buying” trips. Barry
survived his fight against colon cancer and each visit strengthened their
motivation. Their efforts finally led to the creation of Anzie Jewelry."
"The brand’s building block, the
Lifesaver Bracelet remains a best seller with proceeds going to research for
Colorectal Cancer and several other nonprofit organizations."
"Launched in 1999 in Montreal, Anzie
has won the admiration and devotion of the fashion world, celebrities and the
everyday woman. Using only the finest gemstones from around the world, each
piece is crafted by hand and set in18-14 karat gold, and sterling silver. The
vast array of color, cut, and innovative design has quickly garnered notoriety
in the fashion industry and has been seen on the pages of top fashion
publications and the red carpet."
"Anzie jewelry is based on everyday
luxury. Each item is versatile and can be worn casually or to formal occasions.
Unique color combinations and creativity are what makes the jewelry fun to wear
every day.
"High Quality materials and
workmanship are important to Anzie, with the production based at Anzie’s
headquarters in Montreal and all the materials hand-picked."
"Anzie is a socially responsible
company and our gold, diamonds, and Gemstones are mined in non-conflict areas."
