New Accessory Line Benefiting ALZ Research

Rivet Revolution – creator of simple, hand-crafted bracelets with a mission: to end Alzheimer’s. 

We started the Revolution in the summer of 2016 with three goals: to fund research and support for caregivers, to empower the networks of families and friends who have been affected by Alzheimer’s and to have a blast doing so. Designed to be worn every day and inspired by the strong and permanent bond of the rivet, Rivet Revolution bracelets aim to spark conversations, raise awareness and form connections amongst those impacted by Alzheimer’s.

Join the Revolution & help us put an end to Alzheimers!

Why it matters:
One in 10 people age 65 and older (10 percent) has Alzheimer's dementia.
Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women.
Alzheimer’s Disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States.
Every 66 seconds someone in the United States develops the disease.
More than 44 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s.

Rivet Revolution is proud to partner with these rockstar organizations. $10 from each bracelet sold will benefit:

Founded in 2012, Part the Cloud® has raised over $17 million for Alzheimer’s research. With 100 percent of the proceeds from Part the Cloud going directly to the Alzheimer’s Association® research efforts, Part the Cloud is helping to support some of the most innovative research in Alzheimer’s prevention. As a result of this increase in funding, the Alzheimer’s Association has awarded 17 research awards since January 2013.

Hilarity for Charity® (HFC) is a movement led by Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen to inspire change and raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease among the millennial generation. For almost five years, their successful Los Angeles Variety Show has entertained young, hip professionals through evenings filled with music and comedy while creating the next generation of Alzheimer’s advocates. Since its inception, Hilarity for Charity has raised more than $6.5 million to support these efforts and established themselves as a force in the Alzheimer’s and comedy communities. Monies raised through Hilarity for Charity benefit families struggling with Alzheimer’s care, increase support groups nationwide, and fund cutting edge research.

The Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement™, founded by Maria Shriver, is a global alliance of individuals, organizations, researchers, foundations, influencers and industry leaders committed to finding out why Alzheimer’s discriminates against women. WAM believes that by answering the question of why women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s, we will unlock the other mysteries surrounding this mind-blowing disease and that will lead to a cure for all.

My Thoughts: 

Rivet Revolution combines two of my favorite things, stones and raising funds for honorable causes. Knowing that this business gave back to Alzheimer's research made me ecstatic to review this line. I was able to receive the beautiful Amethyst bracelet. As the website shares: "Amethyst is a calming stone that promotes healing, balance and peace. Each stretch bracelet is unique with subtle variations in color, texture and size of the gemstone beads".

The coloring of my bracelet was gorgeous! Each stone had a mixture of hues of purple in it. It also fit just right! I love how the website allows you to choose a size too. The Small-Medium is up to 6 ½ inches and fits most women and teenagers. The Medium-Large is up to 7 ¼ inches and fits most men. No matter what, Rivet Revolution has a size and stone for you to be looking stylish, feeling good, while also supporting the raising of awareness and research for Alzheimer's. I love the small charm on the bracelet as well, signifying the support of the cause. 

If you are looking for a beautiful new addition to your accessory collection that allows you to giving back, I urge you to join the revolution with Rivet to end Alzheimer's!

There is a little latch you unfasten, and the charms slip into place. Once assembled, the clasp locks in place, keeping your charms protected.

I found the bracelet and charms I received to be high quality and well-made. The charms that dangle have study loops that won't break or snag easily. The bracelet is sterling silver so you won't have to worry about turning your skin green. In addition to providing quality jewelry, Glamulet also makes a great presentation.

My Thoughts

I love this product. What a great idea. I always have a hair band around my wrist and usually until it gets stretched out, it will cut off my circulation. This alleviates that issue. Instead, you have a stylish bracelet with a hair band around it. And even when you take the hair band off, it still looked good.

In the photos above, the bracelet is on my 8 year old daughter. It fit her, as well as me, without issue. My daughter loves it as well and keeps taking it whenever she can.

I have small wrists, in fact they are smaller than my daughters. When I didn't have the hair band on, it was a bit to big for me and I worried about it falling off. The bracelet didn't feel like I could bend it to make it tighter. It was very well made and a thick metal.

Over all, I really liked this and could see myself purchasing more. This really would be a great gift for a woman who likes to put their hair up and down throughout the day. And best of all, it adds some fashion to an outfit without having a hair band around your wrist.

My Thoughts 

Divining Oil Designs have merged two of my favorite things with their stunning bracelets--essential oils and natural stones. The combination of these two forces is more than just a fashion statement. It's a healing force that can relieve stress, increase confidence, and just make your day seem a little bit brighter. 

The bracelet I received is really gorgeous. It includes a mixture of amazonite, rose quartz, amethyst, and lava rocks.  This powerful combination can help aid with heart healing and stress relief.  This is wonderful all of its own, but when you add the essential oils, you're enhancing the power of the stones even more. 

Adding the oils to the bracelet is really easy. The lava rocks are porous and work as natural diffusers. Just put a drop of oil on your finger and rub it into the lava stones. It soaks up the oils nicely, and the scent lasts for at least a few days. My bracelet came with a small vial of lavender oil which is also great for stress relief. Now, whenever I feel myself getting stressed, I can just lift up my arm and get a whiff of lavender, and I instantly feel calmer, more relaxed. The scent is light and refreshing, but not overpowering, and it doesn't leave your skin oily or greasy.

In addition its lovely designs, with alternating stones that create a beautiful pattern, the bracelet is very-well made. It has a sturdy claw clasp and is strung with a thick wire that won't snap or stretch  out of shape. 

If you're looking for fashionable jewelry that serves a purpose, a beautiful essential oil infused bracelet would be the perfect way to accentuate your summer wardrobe. They also make a great gift. To see all Divining Oils Designs has to be offer, be sure to visit their website or their Esty Shop. They also offer doTerra oils, which are the perfect compliment to the bracelets. Pick up a bracelet today and accessorize with aromatherapy bracelets that are uplifting for your mind, body and soul.

Zymbol Bracelet Review

The Zymbol pendant was created accidentally. After the founder decided to write the phrase, “Love is all you need” with a peace sign all stacked on top of one another, all the letters of the alphabet in addition to numbers 0 through 9 were found embedded within the design. WOW! What were the chances of that happening, ever? Well, after wearing the pendant around town for a couple of weeks and getting enormous positive reactions from people it came to pass that the Zymbol pendant quickly became a personalized inspirational piece of  jewelry that can mean anything to anyone. Each Zymbol pendant comes with a gift card that allows one to trace their individual Zymbol (inspirational) message that can evolve and change for each day or simply remain constant. Wear yours and trace out names, places, dates, goals, challenges, inspirations, and anything that you are thankful for. The entire collection is truly a spirit lifter and has touched so many people in so many different places.

In addition, for every Zymbol sold the company gives an acrylic pendant to a child in the hospital for the sake of true inspiration.

Our Thoughts

Anything unique is right up my alley! This symbol can mean so many different things and it looks really cool too. I received the Zymbol bracelet (pictured below) and it fits nicely. The band wraps around itself so it is completely adjustable and I'm able to get it just right to where it's not sliding up and down my forearm, which is a major nuisance in bracelet wearing to me. I don't like taking jewelry on and off when I'm doing dishes but I also don't like wet bracelets against my arm, so being able to adjust this and move it up higher on my arm and then bring it right back down is very convenient!

Although each item is individualized for the meaning, I can't help but feel like I'm wearing some kind of superhero signal. My children were immediately interested in looking at how each letter and number fits into the bracelet and they started spelling out their names.

Zymbol creates necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms and even ornaments that include the Zymbol symbol. They also create a line that is suitable to a male's liking as well. 

I love that the company sends a Zymbol to a child in a hospital, that is a true act of kindness and inspiration. With Zymbol, there is something for everyone!

It has since evolved into a passion to design pieces that show off our love for our little ones, celebrate a union, commemorate an achievement, remember a special moment, or an important place - the most essential aspects of life that make it our own.

Stunning hand-dyed silk ribbon (like playful wisps of sari material) is artfully paired with silver-toned accent pieces. The charm is a lead-free, jewelry grade, fine pewter adorned with a bronze dipped lotus charm. The reverse of the charm has a stunning henna/mendhi pattern.

Each one of our Silk Wrapped Soul Bracelets comes with 36" - 40" luxuriously awesome hand-dyed silk so that it can be wrapped and secured however you see fit.
Lovely little silver-toned accent pieces catch the light just so and provide the perfect balance of shimmer to the bracelet.

They offer seven sumptuous silk chakra color choices - to represent what you need, or are striving for. You can also purchase additional silks to match your mood.
Each bracelet comes beautifully packaged on a presentation card and black satin Pretty Peacock pouch. 

Our Thoughts

Breathtaking. That is what these bracelets are, gorgeous. Has a very bohemian feel to it, which I love. I wanted to be surprised with what I was sent, being a spiritual person I felt that I'd receive what I needed. I just opened the package to see that I received, "Patience" which is extremely fitting as I am about to have a baby any day now and feel very impatient. 

Also, the color choice is my favorite! I received Indigo, it is such a deep color, I am so surprised by it's vibrancy.

This isn't just any bracelet to me, it's not a fashion accessory but a life-accessory, always reminding me to be ever-present and appreciative of the current moment. The fact you can buy different color wraps and that they're interchangeable is awesome. Definitely a collection I can see myself working on.

As for now, I am wearing this daily, I love it that much!
