We all know the simple act of a strengthening hand to a friend in need can yield tremendous relief. Multiply that by a thousand - and you glimpse the everyday hope gained by Devereux clients each day. Imagine not being able to write your own name. Imagine living away from your community. Imagine not having a skill to work.

The non-profit Devereux Pocono Center creates communities of hope throughout Northeast Pennsylvania. This artisan pin symbolizes this hope. Wear this high fashion pin to share our Devereux story in your community - (and gain some life energy for your own family.)

About the Jeweler, Liztech:

Jill Elizabeth remembers the "floor sweeps". Those were the days when the fledgling jewelry designer swept the grimy, liquor bottle-strewn floors of New York City's bead merchants for whatever had fallen to the floor....

Jill Elizabeth doesn't do "floor sweeps" anymore. Now the entrepreneur, who dropped her last name from her professional moniker, buys by the gross from a sprawling warehouse in Providence, RI, "the costume jewelry capital of the US."

The Liztech company began in 1984 by recycling old costume jewelry and today has a mailing list of more than 15,500 customers. The Liztech line features many distinct pin designs and earring shapes that are all handmade. The pieces are inspired by the American Southwest, Egyptian and Indian mythology.

Liztech is a member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. - From www.liztech.com

Jewelry cleaning: The reflective material used in this Jewelry is a lightweight mirror alternative. It will not shatter or tarnish and cleans right up with Windex. For heavy schmutz, apply liquid soap and a toothbrush, hot water, and pat dry.
