Proceeds from the sales of Zebra Jewels are donated to the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation representing those who have inherited the genetic disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). Excessively mobile joints, chronic pain, skin softness and stretchiness, gastroenterological problems, easy bruising, scaring and bleeding characterize EDS. As a group of genetic disorders of connective tissue, the estimated prevalence of EDS is 1 in 5000. To learn more, please visit www.ednf.org

The name, Zebra Jewels, derives from the phrase drilled into the minds of physicians-in-training during medical school:  "When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras."

In the medical community, the term 'zebra' is commonly and universally understood as a reference to a rare disease or condition. Physicians are taught to assume that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. It is likely due to this idea that Barbara was not diagnosed until she reached age 59 although the manifestations of EDS caused many problems beginning in early childhood.

Those who actually do have such a disorder know firsthand that many physicians seem to have lost the ability to imagine that zebras may exist! It is frustrating indeed, to spend years being shuffled from specialist to specialist, seeking diagnosis and treatment for a condition that no one can seem to identify.

This jewelry is designed to spread awareness—zebras do exist!  In a world of horses, the hoof beats of zebras too often go unrecognized. Now, zebras can take the opportunity to speak out and make themselves known!
