Love Heals is a jewelry company and social business that has family at its center. It's run by a mother, daughter and son who founded it in 2005 and has been based, since its inception, in Ojai, California on an organic farm. Each accessory that is sold contributes to planting 10 trees in Ethiopia and so, it follows similarly to the TOMS Shoes one-for-one business model. So far more than 1 million trees have been planted.
Some of the products offered ranged from weaved bracelets to dangly near charm bracelet-like statements using gems. All of the materials are ethically sourced and another way that adds a social element to the company is through partnerships with the following charities: Generation Rescue, Vitamin Angels and Green Ethiopia.
