Jewelry may be considered a luxury, but it is also a very personal accessory that often carries meaning. Volunteers at the Women’s Shelter Jewelry Project sort through items donated at various Seattle area locations and put together bracelets, earrings, and necklaces for cleaning. The pieces are given to the homeless and victims of domestic violence to mark personal milestones, a job interview perhaps or a birthday. For women who feel they have lost everything, a small token can be a great boost.
