a few aromatic bracelet VIP gift highlights:

For a decade, 2002 to 2012, Gai and Ron used their patented design to fabricate Aveda's aromaology tm jewelry. The collection of two bracelet styles and a necklace was launched on the shelves of its 125 Environmental Lifestyle stores across the United States and became a global Pure Privilege gift. In 2018 they made Chakra bracelets for Aveda’s 40th Anniversary World Congress.

December 1999 Gai and Ron design and fabricate the aromatic Hope bracelet for a PedAIDS fundraiser held in Marie Claire magazine; the issue was edited, and the jewelry modeled, by Demi Moore. Sales of the bracelet were overwhelming, raising $55,000 in about 90 days for the charity!
