Today I'm sharing a combination that I love: jewelry and giving back. In honor of Giving Tuesday, I'm sharing 15 companies that do more than just sell fashionable jewelry - they help the world. Below are places that you can purchase beautiful bracelets, necklaces, and more, as well as leave an impact on those in need.

With Alex and Ani's ever growing popularity, they've found a way to give back to different charities around the world. With limited edition charity bracelets, you can choose the cause you'd like to support. When you purchase your bracelet, Alex and Ani will give a percentage of profit to that charity. It's as simple as that!
