Named after Eleanor Roosevelt, Detroit’s Rebel Nell jewelry company is an inspiring business that not only provides employment for disadvantaged women, but makes products from unique materials and creates one-of-a-kind gifts. From tie clips to cufflinks, Rebel Nell uses materials sourced from the Detroit area, particularly crumbling, graffiti-covered walls. Using a secret technique, they create smooth, beautiful pieces (no two are the same). Profits go toward providing services to women that include literacy, empowerment, and entrepreneurship classes, as well as day-to-day support and earned income (above minimum wage). Cufflinks $115, Tie Clips $120. www.rebelnell.com
