For every Star of David necklace purchased through Shared Stars™, Jane donates another to someone who may not have had the connection, courage, or Jewish pride—doubling the joy, visibility, and impact of being proudly Jewish.
At Jane, every piece is more than jewelry—it’s a symbol of connection, pride, and belonging. Shared Stars™ is rooted in a simple yet powerful belief that when Jewish identity is shared, it grows stronger.
For every Star of David necklace purchased through this campaign, Jane donates a second necklace through our philanthropic partners—organizations across education, community programming, and cultural outreach—ensuring each piece reaches someone who may benefit from encouragement, connection, or access to Jewish pride.
Each purchase creates a shared moment—one star worn by you, and one gifted to someone who may not otherwise have the opportunity or confidence to wear their Jewish identity.
"Jewish joy grows when it’s shared. With every Star of David necklace we give, we’re not just offering jewelry—we’re creating tangible connection, pride, and a reminder that no one should feel alone in celebrating who they are."
Shared Stars™ was created by Jane founder and Creative Director, Ellie Zeiler, out of a desire to inspire pride and connection for those who may feel hesitant or uncertain about expressing their Jewish identity. In a world where many face challenges simply for embracing who they are, our mission is to encourage individuals to be loud, proud, and unapologetic in celebrating their Jewish heritage—because sharing that pride creates joy, belonging, and lasting impact.
How does Shared Stars™ work?
For every Star of David necklace purchased, Jane donates a second necklace to someone in need of encouragement, connection, or support in embracing their Jewish identity. Each gift is thoughtfully curated to carry the same meaning of pride and belonging.
Who receives the donated necklaces?
Donated necklaces are given exclusively through our vetted partner organizations, which serve individuals exploring or learning to embrace Jewish identity. This ensures that each gift reaches someone who can benefit from a tangible reminder of Jewish pride.
Which styles are a part of Shared Stars™?
All necklace styles featuring the Star of David are included in the Shared Stars™ initiative. While the specific style, color, or metal you select may differ from the necklace donated due to logistical considerations, every gift is always a Star of David necklace—carrying the same meaning of connection, pride, and shared Jewish joy.
Will the donated necklace be identical to the one I purchase?
While the specific style, metal, or color of the donated necklace may differ due to logistical considerations, every gift is always a Star of David—carrying the same intention of connection, pride, and shared Jewish joy.
Can I gift a purchased necklace and also support Shared Stars™?
