Every Sparkle Supports the Cure.
Why We Shimmer
Shimmer by Cindy® began in 2006 at my kitchen table — a dream shared with my mother and inspired by the timeless beauty of family heirlooms. What started as a passion for creating meaningful jewelry has grown into a brand that sparkles with both artistry and purpose.
Our Shimmer for the Cure™ Initiative, born from a single awareness bracelet in 2007, has evolved into a heartfelt mission to give back. Through partnerships with METAvivor, Breakthrough T1D, and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, we proudly support causes that bring hope, healing, and strength to countless lives.
We shimmer to honor love, courage, and community — reminding the world that every sparkle has the power to make a difference.

The Heart Behind the MBC Sparkle
The Shimmer for the Cure™ MBC Collection was created in loving memory of Nola Addante, whose courage and grace continue to inspire all who knew her. Nola was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer — also known as stage 4 breast cancer — and faced her journey with unshakable strength, compassion, and hope.
During her fight, the Nola Three Stone Ring was designed to honor her resilience. The three stones — pink, green, and teal — reflect the colors of the metastatic breast cancer ribbon, symbolizing love, faith, and strength. What began as a single ring to lift Nola’s spirits has since grown into a meaningful collection of jewelry that shimmers with purpose, love, and remembrance.
The collection now stands as a tribute to Nola and to all MBC Thrivers who continue to shine through adversity. Each piece serves as a reminder that even in the hardest battles, there is beauty, hope, and connection.
Throughout the month of October, 100% of proceeds from the Shimmer for the Cure™ MBC Collection are donated to METAvivor, funding vital research and support for those living with metastatic breast cancer.
Because every sparkle tells a story — of strength, of love, and of a legacy that continues to shimmer. 🩷💚💙
Together, we shimmer stronger. Join our mission to light the path of hope.
Our Partners

Through our Breast Cancer Awareness Collection, we donate 25% of net profits each October to NBCF, helping fund their life-saving programs and outreach initiatives. Throughout the year, we also contribute gifts-in-kind — from candles and jewelry boxes to comfort items that bring warmth and encouragement to women on their breast cancer journey. 🩷
