Sam Street and Jonathan Tack talk about their
exquisite jewelry line Proposition Love Jewelry that donates 10-20
percent of proceeds to LGBT related causes with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of
OUTTAKE VOICES™. Jewelry industry veterans
Street and Tack were married in California just a few days before
Proposition 8 was voted in. They were part of the lucky few who never
had their right to marry taken away but it made them realize how
precious such a thing can be and motivated them to become active in the
fight for LGBT equality. We talked to Sam and Jonathan about what
inspired them to create Proposition Love Jewelry and their spin on our
LGBT issues.
When asked what their personal commitment is to LGBT civil rights Tack
stated, “We launched a new collection called Love Is Love because we
believe that everyone has the right to love whoever they want to love
and it should be their choice and their civil right. We did a big launch
party for Love Is Love actually in Beverly Hills in which we designed
various rings for numerous celebrities. For example we did a ring for
Kathy Griffin; we did one for Perez Hilton; we designed one for Melissa
Rivers, Tori Spelling, the list goes on and on. It was so heart warming
for us because when we reached out to these celebrities, you know in
their busy lives we said Hey Listen we would love to design a ring
for you to support gay marriage and LGBTQ rights and we would like to
auction the ring and donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale to the
charity of your choice that would obviously correlate to what we’re
looking to support here. It was just overwhelming how many celebrities jumped on board and just said Hey we love it, we’re going to do it.”
Sam Street and Jonathan Tack founded Proposition Love Jewelry in 2011 as
a symbol of love and commitment to one another and a pledge to support
the rights of all. Proposition Love Jewelry proudly donates 10% of
profits to organizations that support marriage equality, LGBT rights,
LGBT youth anti bullying and HIV/AIDS activism. They increased their
donation to 20% for all purchases made in the states where gay and
lesbian marriage has recently passed. For their Countdown Collection
they have created a wedding ring for each state to symbolize the
historic moment for the passing of marriage equality. Recently their
exquisite LGBT jewelry line has become available at Macys.
