Change Starts With I: Local Jewelry Designer Stacey Lorinczi Designs The Irma Bracelet

When San Francisco jewelry designer Stacey Lorinczi was asked to create a bracelet as a fundraiser for the documentary film, Recovering Irma, she immediately thought of the yellow Lance Armstrong  bracelets. Although Stacey is not a fan of the ubiquitous rubber bands she recognizes the positive impact they have made.

Fantastic it is. A simple black band of leather with a sterling silver "I" stylishly says, I take a stand against domestic violence.
