The update is live! Lots of new materials this week, including fossilized coral and pietersite. Kate Holly-Clark is back with a handful of pendants as well.

We also have a special new limited edition earring design:



100% of the proceeds from this item will be donated to Scarleteen, a site which provides accurate and free comprehensive sex education to teens and young adults. Scarleteen is run on a shoestring budget by my friend Heather Corinna and a small staff of unpaid volunteers; they receive absolutely no federal, state, or local funding, and yet they help anywhere from 15,000 to 30,000 people each day.

I'll leave it up to you to decide if this is a cause you want to support. If you do, here are a few ways you can help:

- Buy a pair of the Stars for Scarleteen earrings. They're inexpensive, they'll go with just about anything, and if the retrograde is getting you down, hey, hematite is just what you need. We aren't making a penny on them, not even for materials.

- Make a donation directly. If you donate $75 or more, not only can you get a signed copy of Heather's upcoming book, you'll also get a piece of jewelry of our choosing, valued at approximately $35. (Heather and I are still working out the details, but most likely, the jewelry will be shipped along with the book in April.)

- Regardless of whether or not you can afford to donate, please consider spreading the word about the Scarleteen fundraiser. Blog about it, post about it on your favorite message board, post a link on your website.
