Swag for Charity

0 comments

This unique creation is one of 40 rings that were hand-delivered in the 79th Annual Oscar swag bags this past February. Eco-conscious design house, Carasan Designs named 15 of these rings, “Summer Rayne’s Flowers” and provided a letter of authenticity guaranteeing that every time the wearer showcased their ring in the press, Carasan will donate another ring to the wearer’s favorite charity for auction. Each band is meticulously hand-woven with vintage beads and crystals. One ring takes approximately 24 hours to make.

Carasan is run by a mother-daughter duo from Brooklyn, NY and is one of Summer Rayne's favorite designers. See past editorial features in Healthy Living and Lucire's "Behind the Label" here and here. For more information, visit Carasan.com.
