Jewelers for
Children & Jewels for Charity Help Turn Old Jewelry Into the Treasure of Life An Opportunity to be Considered as a Hosting Retailer Jewelers for Children, the industry’s charity, is partnering with The Kazanjian Foundation and its Jewels for Charity program, the charitable organization established by the founders of Kazanjian Bros., Inc. Together, JfC will help turn old treasured jewelry into the treasure of life and provide a gift of love for children in need. After all, a child is more precious than a gem. The Kazanjian Foundation collects donated jewelry from celebrities and other notable individuals as charitable gifts. To benefit Jewels for Charity, the Kazanjian Foundation sponsors a tour of the Jewels for Charity Collection to fine jewelry stores, galleries and museums worldwide. If you qualify, you too can be part of this impressive tour. The Jewels for Charity Collection’s availability is limited to approximately two-dozen stores per year, so if you would like to participate, please learn more by visiting www.jewelsforcharity.org, or call 310.278.0811. HOW IT WORKS: The program allows the person who has donated a piece of jewelry to specify a recipient charity. That charity will receive 70 percent of the proceeds. The hosting store will then designate another charity to be the recipient of the remaining 30 percent. The Kazanjian Foundation takes no portion of the proceeds from the sale of any donated piece from the Collection. In the event that the donor of the piece has not specified a recipient charity, the entire proceeds from the sale of the piece will go to Jewelers for Children. THE BENEFITS: Jewels for Charity acts as a complimentary publicity program designed to bring recognition to the jewelry store hosting the event. The uniqueness of this program, and the high profile celebrity content will generate additional traffic into your store resulting in sales that will benefit both Jewels for Charity and your business. It is a philanthropic activity that attracts broad attention, including news media. This in-store event will attract old and new customers alike. Your event will serve to honor youth focused charities and support the shared belief that a child is more precious than a gem. WHAT THE KAZANJIAN FOUNDATION WILL DO: We will showcase the JfC celebrity jewelry featuring items such as the tiara that Madonna wore at her wedding, the diamond and sapphire pocket watch that Clark Gable carried, among others; jewelry donated by other prominent families; significant consigned jewelry pieces that will add impact and salability; and support materials such as pictures, letters of authenticity and other provenance. We will also provide assistance for local publicity, and cover shipping costs and insurance over $250,000. THE HOST’S RESPONSIBILITY: To host an evening party for your VIP clients, we ask that you distribute brochures, encourage donations, and cover on-premise insurance for the first $250,000 of the Jewels for Charity Collection. The Kazanjian Foundation will cover the rest. And, you must package and return items properly in compliance with the Foundation’s instructions. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Retailers who are interested may submit a request to Jewelers for Children by calling 212-687-2949. Your store must be rated 41 or higher with the Jewelers Board of Trade, or you will need to provide additional financial information, and purchase a bond to protect the collection while it is in your care.
