Real Housewives of Orange County star Braunwyn Windham-Burke teamed up with Blue Blood Metal to create a line of necklaces — and two bracelets — benefitting the PFLAG Newport Beach Scholarship Fund for LGBTQ+ students.
According to Page Six, the is priced from $65 to $265 and now available online, pieces in the “Amplified Voices” collection are made from vintage designer buttons (some bearing Chanel’s iconic double-C logo), with most incorporating rainbow stripes and charms.
“I was privileged enough to be able to come out at 42 and have a supporting family. So many young people do not,” the mom of seven told Page Six Style. “Many literally get kicked out of their homes for just being themselves,” Windham-Burke continued. “It just goes to show how much work we still need to do, so hopefully our #AmplifiedVoices line and IGTV series can continue to break boxes into confetti, tell untold stories and raise money to help queer kids go to school.”
The Bravo reality star also took to Instagram to share her excitement about the collection, after participating in PFLAG’s Parenting Day.
“What an honor to be a part of @pflag parenting day! The reason why we post, speak up, and won’t stop fighting is because kids are literally kicked out of their homes everyday for simply being who they are,” she wrote. “Representation and public ally-ship help show young people and queer people everywhere that there is, in fact, a light at the end of the tunnel, and someone out there will support them, somehow. 🌈💕 Jacob really is one of the coolest kids I know and we loved sharing our story❤️ SO excited to ⭐️announce⭐️ the launch of Blue Blood Metals #AmplifiedVoices line!”
She continued, “@blueblood_metal This is our soft open, and we will roll out all kinds of content and info during #pridemonth in June. Thank you @bravotv @evolutionusa for giving Jacob’s, mine, and untold stories a platform so that we can do good! It makes all the drama worth it 😉The proceeds from each sale go to the @pflagnewportbeach scholarship fund, helping queer seniors in HS attend college!”
She added, “💕🌈⭐️😍USE THE LINK IN MY BIO TO PURCHASE 💕🌈⭐️😍 During the Holidays, we were able to raise enough to help two graduating LGBTQ+ seniors in our area! We can’t wait to keep it going!! Thank you to @jessica_herthel for all you do! #pridemonth #allyship #lgbtq🌈”
