If you’re a hardcore Angela Simmons fan, you may have noticed the Pastry shoes designer has a favorite green bracelet that she wears a lot.
Did you know it was designed by her uncle Russell Simmons’ jewelry company?

Maybe Angela’s looking for inspiration for her own Pastry Jewelry line, rumored to be dropping this or next year!
It’s called the Malachite Bead and Rough Diamond DEF Stretch bracelet, by the Simmons Jewelry Co. It has a genuine rough diamond in a small gold cage. It’s on an elastic band so it slips on and off easily.
The Simmons Jewelry Co Bracelet
The Malachite Bead and Rough Diamond DEF Stretch Bracelet is special. When you purchase a Green Bracelet created by Simmons Jewelry Co, you are supporting the education and empowerment of African people and communities where diamonds are a natural resource.
Simmons Jewelry Co. will donate twenty dollars from the sale of this bracelet to the Diamond Empowerment Fund (DEF), a non-profit international organization that contributes all of its resources to educational programs in Africa.
The line was inspired by a recent fact-finding trip to Botswana and South Africa taken by Russell Simmons and a Simmons Jewelry Co. delegation to see how diamonds were empowering Africans where they are a natural resource. Upon his return, Simmons and Simmons Jewelry Co. announced the formation of the Diamond Empowerment Fund (D.E.F.) and the Green Initiative. The D.E.F. is an international, non-profit organization, with a mission to raise money for educational programs to uplift the people and communities of Africa.
What a GREAT idea. Russell promoted it hard last year and a bunch of celebs took up the cause:
Russell Simmons and rapper T.I. show off the DEF bracelet
Beyonce always looks good
Even Naomi Campbell put down the crazy for a sec to show her support
