The Giving Keys, a social impact fashion brand changing lives with inspirational jewelry through their Pay It Forward business model, employs those transitioning out of homelessness to make and assemble their products. Every product is stamped with an inspirational word like DREAM, STRENGTH, HOPE, etc., and the wearer is encouraged to embrace their word, then pay it forward by giving their product to a person who needs the message more. In celebration of their new collection, The Giving Keys debuted their classic best-selling necklace, re-imaged in a bold, matte black style, and presented each guest with their own personal product.
