The 2024 edition of the sale for suicide prevention is now closed. I am extremely honoured to announce that 1,450 pieces of jewelry were sold and that we will be able to make a magnificent donation of $14,500 to the AQPS. Many thanks to all of you for your contribution to this success. See you next year!

◊ 24-HOUR SALE FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION ◊
In 2016, the father of a very close friend of mine took his own life. I also have an uncle who did the same, whom I unfortunately never had the chance to meet. So I wanted to do something to contribute to the cause, and also to give a little love and hope to those who have lost loved ones. That year, I decided to get involved with the Association québécoise de prévention du suicide (AQPS) by holding a 24-hour sale on September 10, World Suicide Prevention Day.
Eight editions later, a grand total of $71,040 has been donated to AQPS. 💙

The special sale for suicide prevention is back for its 9th edition! Once again this year, we unveil three exclusive creations, including a UNISEX bracelet - a first for this sale! -These will be available only on September 10, 2024: the Unité necklace, the Infini bracelet and the Connexion earrings. 10$ from each item sold will be donated to AQPS.
Featuring a pretty charm with the sign of infinity, these jewels remind us that even though life is full of ups and downs, every obstacle can be overcome. So don't hesitate to talk and ask for help through the tougher times, so you can find solutions to meet the challenges.
Year after year, our team works really hard to write THE inspirational phrase - no easy feat after 8 editions that set the bar high! I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all my family and friends, and to the Association québécoise de prévention du suicide (AQPS) for their invaluable contribution in the search for the perfect words:
“Even if you get lost in the darkness of the night, don't forget that the day will dawn as a source of infinite hope."♾️
It's so important to me that this phrase inspires and challenges you, in your own way, according to your life experiences. It's the message of hope and kindness that I want to pass on to you, in my own humble way. In short, each person has their own interpretation of the symbolism of these exclusive jewels, which I hope will become as special to you as they are to me!
Tell yourself that there's always a solution, that there are people who love you and will be ready to help you. Never forget that suicide is not an option. Together, we can make a difference! If you need help, or if you feel that someone around you needs help, call a friend, a family member, 1 866-APPELLE or join suicide.ca website.
Don't be alone with this, reach out.
Don't be alone with this, reach out. #tesimportantpourmoi
Whether we buy it to treat ourselves or to remind ourselves to take care of ourselves, to thank a loved one or to show our support for the cause, we all contribute together to MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
💚💚 The sale lasts only 24 hours, on September 10! 💚💚
