UP for Women and Children is an incredible drop-in day center that supports unhoused women and their children with daily needs like showers, phone use, customized case management, assistance obtaining vital documents, and receiving mail. 

UP also provides food and clothing to moms and kiddos, and a portion of proceeds from each heartfelt necklace from now until Mother's Day will purchase undergarments and easy on-the-go snacks from UP's wish list. 

Hearts joined through beauty, hope, and love, whether a family by birth or by choice, let's expand our village of mothers, helping one another and remembering we are all connected.

 We've always said that our jewelry is made with love, and our Valentine Collection this year takes this idea to heart. (See what we did there?) Crafted in small batches (and some as one-of-a-kind designs) each item in the collection will contribute $5 of its purchase price to a wonderful organization called Love My Neighbor, based in our former hometown of Taylorsville, Kentucky. This grass-roots thrift shop offers clothing and household items to families in need, often entirely free of charge...and volunteers will even personally assist in finding clothing for a first job interview, a new baby, or a warm coat in freezing temperatures.

Grace, one of our amazing assistants who helps to create nearly every statement-making necklace that leaves the studio, has one of the most generous and beautiful hearts we know, and she is a founding Board Member for Love My Neighbor. Her spirit for service has her volunteering several days a week, whether balancing the books or organizing donations in their storage space at the shop. (In fact, our donations will help build an annex for the space to house the growing amount of donated goods available for underprivileged families in the area.)

We're honored to be able to help Love My Neighbor's mission in making a difference in the community where Elva Fields really "grew up" as a business and to share the love that is available to all of us. So, whether it's through a pair of earrings, a necklace, or even some hand-lettered original art, we hope you'll help us to offer beauty, hope, and, most importantly, love, this Valentine season and always.

We've created a collection of jewelry that takes inspiration from the hope, love, and courage so many who face cancer show and share. Through the month of October, half of the proceeds from each of these designs will be given to Hope Scarves, a remarkable organization here in Louisville, Kentucky that provides scarves, stories, and support to those with cancer.
