After seeing many design blogs sporting the <a href="http://www.jesslc.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">JessLC</span> </a>ad banner, then reading about the jewelry line and it’s creator, Jess Constable, I found myself following <a href="http://makeundermylife.com/">Jess’s blog</a> on a daily basis to see what she was up to next ... I was curious about her upcoming design collections, but I was also hooked on her “this is what is happening in my life right now” authenticity. The way she candidly shares her ups and downs along with the lessons she has learned on her journey as a jewelry designer, business person, and unique individual had me hooked! </span><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jesslc.com/products/the-good-intention-necklace" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529940635595808530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6FJfiqAuYPk7BpShwqE3skETY4wx88nbVu39EjnmZ0MCcfB1PjbEL5lfcRtLrSb9gScY2tAm8M7UxLZzhlaxpsKL24uOt-0b9Bwe0Z45KphnH71V39lc97qXXxt5f8FuV92pUJvUlQvta/s400/SC5_large.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 370px; height: 387px;" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.jesslc.com/products/the-good-intention-necklace">Soc Chic The Good Intention Necklace</a></span><br /></div><br /><br /><a href="http://gatheringchangeinc.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529948992647961970" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-iyIZJYfe_EWNj6TMpnAru0UNbhDmldd_nTV6sxkzB-V2ykLbufgeYmkpSDOCFPySQtRhHTESgcv7_db5YpATGvdmlEMLhmzNcAGyhrLLd0joNfsaPmb3Rb17v-bv8_Y4_4n9y7nhleX/s400/GCI.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 264px; height: 222px;" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">And the fact that she created a line of jewelry <a href="http://www.jesslc.com/collections/soc-chic">to promote and benefit social causes</a> was just what I was looking for as a fund-raising item for a local charity that I am involved with, <a href="http://gatheringchangeinc.org/">Gathering Change, Inc.</a> The logo that I designed for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gathering Change</span> has a heart at its center, and the charity’s mission is to help neighbors who are struggling during these challenging economic times. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">Good Intention Necklace</span> that Jess has designed is the perfect match for future fund-raising events, and 10% of the sale of each necklace would be donated directly to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gathering Change</span>. I think it would make a thoughtful gift and be a nice way to give to others at the same time. Below are a few more pieces that I love from different collections that Jess has designed. </span><br /></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jesslc.com/products/franklin-dream-bigger-braille-necklace"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529941717572047010" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsymBE5uT-uOYmeu4topcBcupSZ3wWAoCpoD3ry29r2_U0qwAdmjK66pAgECzPV5Y6IgFL_LJcoPelJCqDCDw1mSiQUjmRjg61MDX5nAYRkjtm1wuvZflARv11F4sJnaUg2y2M0dE28JYa/s400/dct.JLC.Braille-05-Dream-Bigger.09-28-10_large.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 400px;" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.jesslc.com/products/franklin-dream-bigger-braille-necklace">Franklin Dream Bigger Braille Necklace</a><br /><br />I LOVE this design concept! “Dream Bigger” is actually imprinted in braille on this piece (other pieces include </span><span style="font-size:130%;">“</span><span style="font-size:130%;">Breathe</span><span style="font-size:130%;">”</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> and “Be Present</span><span style="font-size:130%;">”</span><span style="font-size:130%;">).
