Jewelry Industry Rallies to Raise Funds for Hurricane Harvey Victims

Hurricane Harvey, the devastating storm that’s claimed 38 lives and displaced upwards of 32,000 people in Houston (according to The New York Times), has prompted a growing number of jewelry brands and industry entities to garner donations to help relief efforts.

Jewelers of America, the Diamond Council of America, and National Jeweler
The trio of jewelry organizations has created a GoFundMe page to collect donations for independent jewelers within the Houston area that are hardest hit by Hurricane Harvey. “We are asking the jewelry community to band together and help fellow jewelers in their recovery efforts,” reads the page. “All funds raised will be dispersed equally and directly to independent jewelry stores, regardless of affiliation.”

From Sept. 1–30, 100 percent of the proceeds from all 10 of Rembrandt Charms’ Texas-themed charms, in all metals, will be donated to the Hurricane Harvey Jewelers Support Fund (retailers, take note: complimentary marketing graphics highlighting the 10 charms, and the relief fund, are available for your websites, email campaigns, and social media channels). Furthermore, Eric Lux, vice president of Rembrandt Charms, said in a statement that the company is prepared to offer “several temporary housing options in Colorado and Buffalo, N.Y. to retail jewelers and their families who have lost their homes,” in addition to “temporary work/income to those that are in need.” And the company will be offering flexible terms, insurance quotes for charm displays, and other options to support the retail jewelers whose locations were damaged in the storm.
