We just received a bunch of new cabochons that we are looking to include them in some designs over the next few weeks. We recently created a new wire wrapped bracelet using a gorgeous reddish brown stone we found in Cape May. The bracelet came out a little bigger than expected, but is still very beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice but you can view the new bracelet here: Cape May Stone Wire Wrapped Bracelet.

Will will also be wire wrapping some additional Cape May Diamond stones now that things are starting to settle down in the household. These we quite a big seller over the Holiday Season so thank you all for taking a look at the Cape May Jewelry!

We decided that since we were successful this year in meeting our goal of raising $1000 towards the fight against cancer and cancer research, we would challenge ourselves again by setting an even higher goal. For 2008, Vael Designs will try to raise $2000 for Cancer Awareness by continuing to donate $5 of each cancer awareness bracelet sold to charitable organizations for cancer research.

Vael Designs has also started a new line of awareness bracelets that will be near and dear to my heart. As some of you may or may not know, my husband is being deployed to Iraq for all of 2008. I want to do something to help him and his fellow soldiers who are away from their loved ones to continue to be able to speak with their families. I have created several “support the troops” bracelets and will be taking $5 of each bracelet sold and donating it to the Cell Phones for Soldiers project which is very near and dear to my husband’s heart. The Cell Phones for Soldiers is a program that collects used cell phones and sends them in to a company called Recelluar who pays the organization enough money per cell phone to purchase 1 hour of call time on a calling card for a soldier to call home.

Please help us reach our 2008 goal by visiting our awareness lines located here:
