Our Vision
The inspiration behind Jewelry for Good & Bring Your Bling™
Our passion for turning gold and silver into charitable donations began when we found out how little people received from jewelry stores when they tried to sell unwanted gold. “Why not get the full value in a tax-deduction while donating the items to charity,” we thought. Thus, Jewelry for Good was born, along with Bring Your Bling fundraising events.
“A nonprofit that helps charities in a unique way.”
Jewelry for Good is a 501(3)(c) nonprofit that gives charities a new, unique way to grow their donation base through a fast, easy process that gives back more to their supporters. Instead of raising funds by having people write checks or give cash, unwanted gold and sterling silver is contributed. Supporters receive a tax receipt for the full value of their donation while charities get the proceeds.
Donors are excited about supporting a cause they care about without having to write a check. We’re proud to provide a way for them to support their favorite cause while giving purpose to their unwanted gold and silver. Talk about a win-win!

Most households have approximately $800 in unwanted items.
“These folks are professionals! My family had been sitting on things from relatives for years. We cleaned out our drawers and closets and found over $5,000 of gold and silver items we could donate for Leukemia research. Thanks!”
