About us
Proud to donate jewelry for each year to many deserving charities in need.
Banchee and Raskol (B & R) Jewelry Designs started as a hobby to help others. Ann Jackson, owner of the newly established jewelry company states " I started making jewelry as I could not find any quality silent auction items for the many charities that I volunteer for. As a result—I have been donating beautiful jewelry for charities in need. I am so pleased that Banchee and Raskol Designs are helping raise substantial funds for organizations that are desperately seeking donations in this economy."
Banchee and Raskol Jewelry Designs were named after two stray kitty cats that have now become a part of my family—hence the names Banchee and Raskol. Each jewelry piece has a signature cat and angel charm.
