The7dayringproject

Thank you for following along the past couple of months as we took a look back at our journey here at the7dayringproject! We can honestly say that our lives have changed significantly because of this social enterprise, which is why our decision to stop the7dayringproject operations is a tough one to announce. As this decision did not come lightly or easily, after much thought, discussion, and consideration, we believe it is the best moving forward. Though this may be bittersweet, we wanted to take the time to reflect on the incredible impact that the brand has had on our charity partners, Salem’s Designs, and the community around us locally and globally. From the bottom of our little hearts, we THANK YOU.

For the last time, with grateful hearts:
Much love,
Taylor Davis + Peony Au, Founders of the7dayringproject

New Year, New Charity! Year 3 marked our switch over to support and partner with our friends at Hope International Development Agency, HOPE International Development Agency.This year’s proceed from our ring sales go directly to help fund skills-training and microcredit loans for women in Ethiopia, further empowering women there 👊🏼

We wanted to make our favourite holiday a time to empower others to ditch their traditional Christmas wish list and instead create a list of changes they wanted to see in the world. With the help of , we were able to create an adorable campaign to make the holidays about giving! Happy December 🎄

Besides our online store, we were lucky enough to have found a home at many of our favourite stores across the Lower Mainland and across the country! Thank you Semperviva Yoga, Spruce Collective, Vintelier, Hunter & Hare, Nettle's Tale Swimwear Inc., Whole Touch Natural Wellness Centre for spreading the love! 🥰

After working over a year with just an army of two, we decided to grow our team, as our company grew, and boy, was that the best idea! 11 amazing, passionate, beautiful and driven women joined our team. We are forever grateful that they saw something in 7DR and wanted volunteer to invest their time, energy and heart into something that we created. 👯‍♀️ We are so proud of what this team has done!

Through our amazing 7DR community, we also started partnering with individuals that we saw were seizing the day in their own unique ways and were an amazing reflection of our team values. Check out these kickass ambassadors: Steph Yu at Happy and Healthy, Victoria Duffield , and The Katherines 👊🏼💕

With such a successful Year 1 behind us, we were excited to see where Year 2 would take us. One of the many things we admired about imagine1day is that they are constantly looking for ways to grow their impact. The Girl Fund made a strategic change to invest more of their resources into working directly with communities to tear down the barriers that prevent girls from getting the education they deserve. Instead of scholarships, our profits now went towards Girls Clubs where more girls will be reached and empowered 💕

We are interrupting our walk down memory lane with a new blog post!

7 initiatives making a positive impact — the7dayringproject If it takes a village to raise a child, it would certainly take a very large village to raise a world in which everyone, regardless of gender or socioeconomic background or race, has equal opportunities to thrive and chase their dreams. Here at the7dayringproject, we recognize that our work plays ju

For our first year of operations, we donated our proceeds from every ring purchased towards imagine1day’s Girl Fund. Working exclusively in Ethiopia, we believed this was the perfect way to bring our model back to where it all began 🌍 The Girl Fund funded high school scholarships for girls to pursue their high school education and inspired community members to stand for their girls.

The real MVP is our lovely friend over at Salem's Ethiopia. Salem lives in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and is the creator of our product. Living in a society where the odds are stacked against the success of women, she chose to seize each day and followed her passion to make beautiful jewelry. She went after a mission to leave the world in a better place. the7dayringproject proudly pays Salem at store price, allowing continued growth of her business.

We (Taylor and Peony) launched the7dayringproject on December 6, 2015 with hopes to encourage others to make the most of their days, no matter what that may look like. We wanted the 7dayring to serve as that reminder 💛
