Tool Box Chic
Are you the kind of girl who has more fun using a sledgehammer than an eyelash curler? Do you prefer a weekend at Home Depot over one at the mall? If you answered yes to either question, we've got a jewelry line for you.

Why We Love It!
Every item designed by Joan Hornig is beautiful and unique, but sometimes the pieces can fall outside our paycheck, which is why we are particularly excited about the brand new line Joan by Joan Hornig. It's a slightly more affordable alternative to the beautiful baubles sold at high-end stores like Bergdorf Goodman. Joan by Joan is bold and brassy, with quirky necklaces shaped like wrenches and hammers, fun statement earrings, and gorgeous bracelets.
The Good News
Founded in 2003, the Joan B. Hornig Foundation provides financial support for dozens of charitable organizations throughout the world, and they do it through selling jewelry. Every time you buy a piece from JH Philanthropy is Beautiful®, 100% of the profits are sent to a charity of your choice. After selecting a piece from their online shop, you are given the option to designate a non-profit. You can support animal rights, education, environmental efforts—it is totally up to you.
Price Check
Joan by Joan Hornig is the "little sister" line, so prices for these pieces start at $85. Pieces from the signature collection at JH Philanthropy is Beautiful® can go for as much as $8,000.
