At Stoned Originals, we recognize that many women and children are in need of transitional shelters to help them escape from abusive relationships. These shelters provide a safe and caring environment for all, regardless of ethnicity and age. They represent the optimism of a new tomorrow. For these reasons and more we applaud and support their efforts.

A percentage of online jewelry sales from 8 North American cities is donated to the women's organizations listed below in each of those cities.

Toronto: The Redwood
Montreal: Auberge Madeleine
Calgary: Calgary Women's Emergency Shelter
Vancouver: St. Elizabeth Home

New York: Sanctuary for Families
Chicago: Chicago Abused Women Coalition
Atlanta: Partnership Against Domestic Violence (PADV)
Los Angeles: 1736 Family Crisis Centre

Thanks to all who have attended any of our Celebrate the Power of Women events in support of The Redwood.

Stay tuned for details on our Fall 2010 event. This year we hope you’ll join us at the beautiful Grand Hotel and Suites in downtown Toronto.

Our fall fundraisers have been held at various locations including The Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, and Toronto’s Rosewater Supper Club and The Empire Restaurant & Lounge. The events have been a smashing success - everything we could have hoped for....a warm atmosphere of women mixing and mingling in an informal and relaxed environment. Friends reconnecting. New friendships being born. Women Empowering Women.

Of course there are always hundreds of Stoned Originals jewelry items to try on and choose from, but we now offer other accessories too...all the more fun to get out and shop for a good cause!

Celebrate the Power of Women 2009 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT Our ladies-only 2009 event in support of The Redwood - a safe haven for women and children, has come and gone. What a great evening it was! In addition to Stoned Originals Jewelry, attendees were also able to shop for gorgeous accessories from Stuff Limited as well as luxurious Bio-Swiss Organic skin care products from The Spa Boutique. Heartfelt thanks to both companies for helping to make this party truly special. The evening was filled with positive energy and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves! Of course, every great party needs a little wine and some great nibbles and for that we thank the wonderful people at Euro Vintage Wine & Spirits and Santa Alicia Vineyards for donating the wine for the evening. We’d also like to thank Dan and his staff at the Empire Lounge at 50 Cumberland St. in Yorkville for allowing us to hold the event there again this year....the food was fab and the service, excellent, as usual!
