NEW! Charms and Jewelry for Special Women in Your Life

The Women's Society is excited to now partner with Milagros Jewelry, by Gracia on a jewelry collection whose proceeds benefit both students at Saint Ignatius College Prep and young women in Guatemala working towards economic empowerment. Economic empowerment is more than a paycheck - it means young women can earn an income, become financially literate, live independently, and stand up for themselves. Milagros Jewelry, by Gracia, is made by young women in rural Guatemala. Each piece carries the fingerprint of the young woman who made it. This jewelry collection is perfect for mothers, sisters, daughters, and graduates! Visit the collection here.
