BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. (February 12, 2010) – Just Fore You Jewelry, maker of designer-fashioned, elegant golf-inspired jewelry, will donate several pieces of its handmade jewelry to the Camp Siberia charity auction, to be held Feb. 27 at Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Wash. The funds raised at the auction will be used to support Camp Siberia, a not-for-profit organization based on Bainbridge Island, Wash., that provides leadership development to Northwest youth while conducting an American-style summer camp for Russian orphans in the countryside outside Novosibirsk, Russia.
“It is an honor to help support this worthy effort,” said Lucia Olson, CEO/Designer of Just Fore You Jewelry. “Our local teens compete for a select number of spots on the counselor team, and each year we have an outstanding group of teens representing us to the people of Russia.”
In addition to the summer camp, Camp Siberia provides financial support, mentoring and life-skills training for Russian orphans as they ‘age out’ of the orphanages. Funds for the program are raised through the annual auction.
“We are delighted to have the contribution of some pieces from Just Fore You Jewelry for our charity auction,” said Ellin Spenser, president of the board of Camp Siberia (www.campsiberia.org). “The jewelry is so beautiful, I’m sure it will be a big draw. All the money raised will be used to provide these Russian children with training and education to enable them to live productive lives after they leave the orphanage.
“We greatly appreciate the support of community members, parents, artists and business people like Lucia Olson of Just Fore You Jewelry. Without their help, we would be unable to assist the kids we’ve come to love, and their prospects for the future would be grim.”
Just Fore You Jewelry, which Olson founded last year, consists of premier lines of hand-designed, eye-catching pieces, including necklaces, rings and bracelets, featuring fine-metal and semi-precious gem choices for the various designs. In addition to complementing players’ golf ensembles, the stylish pieces make great tee and tournament prizes as well as holiday gifts, and add panache to any golf shop inventory. Fashion-conscious players enjoy wearing Just Fore You jewelry both on and off the golf course.
The “Silver Golf Ball & Tee Bangle™”, Just Fore You Jewelry’s signature design, and its complementary “Tee & Ball Ring™” feature white sapphires as the ‘ball’ on one side and a choice of semiprecious gemstone as the ‘tee’ on the other. Stone selections include agate, amethyst, chalcedony, malachite, onyx, pink opal, silver and turquoise. The bracelet and ring are flexible and are designed to fit most people. Their understated, classic beauty makes them perfect for wearing during or after a round of golf.
Several new designs were introduced at last month’s PGA Merchandise Show, including the sterling-silver Double Golf Ball Bangle™ bracelet and the Double Golf Ball Ring™, each featuring white, blue or red sapphires. Gold or platinum bracelets and rings are available by special order. Other newly-created women’s items include earrings, a new ring design and a new cuff-style bracelet with white, blue or red sappphires. A new twist-shank bangle bracelet for men and women as well as a men’s version of the Golf Ball and Tee™ bracelet complete the new lines.
Lucia Olson is the sole designer of each piece in all the collections. An award-winning jewelry maker and artist, Olson integrates golf themes and representative golf items in her Just Fore You trademark designs. Made from the finest materials and semi-precious gemstones, each piece, distinctive and sophisticated, can be customized with the selection of gemstones and metal, including sterling silver, gold or platinum. These customization options are of great appeal to those who appreciate the beautifully-rendered pieces.
