Mirell Jewelry To Benefit Japan March 22, 2011 (0 comments)
Deerfield Beach, FL--Contemporary metals designer Edward Mirell announces the Kibou dog tag, just created to raise funds for the American Red Cross disaster relief efforts in earthquake- and tsunami-ravaged Japan. It is the designer’s first foray into creating jewelry specifically for fund raising relief efforts.
The Kibou dog tag is laser etched with an Asian-inspired design and the Japanese symbols for “hope,” translated as “kibou,” in English.
Says Edward Rosenberg, co-owner and lead designer said the project has special significance because the firm has many partnerships in Japan. “As members of the International Titanium Association, we were so relieved when we received word from our friends in Japan that they were safe. But our relief turned to urgency as we realized we had to do something to help. The Kibou dog tag is our small contribution to this overwhelming crisis. We just wish we could do more.”
The tags went on sale March 21 on www.edwardmirelljewelry.com. Available in gray titanium, top, or patented Black Ti, above, for $29.95 and $59.95 respectively, 75% of all net profits will be donated to the American Red Cross.
