Jewelry with Purpose — Handmade to Make a Difference

At Comer Teng Studio, every earring carries more than beauty — it carries a story.
We believe art can uplift, heal, and bring people together.

Through our Community + Partnerships program, we collaborate with individuals and organizations who are making an impact — turning their missions into wearable art that gives back.

Past Collaborations That Inspire Us

Ukraine Stud Earrings

When the war in Ukraine began, we launched a limited-edition stud earring collection to raise funds for Razom for Ukraine, a nonprofit providing critical medical supplies and amplifying the voices of Ukrainians. All proceeds from the Ukraine flag color earrings were donated to help those affected by the conflict.

Strong Work Collection for Dennis

The Strong Work Collection was created to honor the life of Dr. Dennis Doherty, a beloved nurse and educator at Boston Children’s Hospital who passed away from pancreatic cancer. Dennis often encouraged others with the words “Strong work,” which inspired the name of this fundraiser. A proud Dorchester native, shamrocks were chosen to symbolize his roots, and the color purple represents pancreatic cancer awareness. Half of the proceeds from this collection was donated to support a close friend, Steve's Pan-Mass Challenge ride, which raises funds for life-saving cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Dennis’s memory.

 

Nick Strong Fundraiser

When our friend’s 14-year-old son Nick was diagnosed with a brain tumor, we created a fundraiser earring collection to support his family during treatment. Nick loved North Carolina, so we chose a soft blue tone in his honor — designing the collection with light blue leather studs and acrylic blue hearts. Proceeds went to help with medical and family expenses and to The Nick Strong Foundation, a nonprofit established in memory of Nick who passed away in 2023, which provides funding for pediatric cancer research, financial support for families undergoing treatment, hospital gifts, and a scholarship program for high school students who reflect Nick’s spirit.

 

 

Emerson Love

We designed the Emerson Love Earrings and Necklace in bright yellow — her favorite color — to support our dear friend’s daughter, Emerson, as she awaited a heart transplant at Boston Children’s Hospital. The collection featured sparkling yellow heart charm necklaces and matching earrings, symbolizing hope and love. Half of the proceeds went directly to Emerson’s family and her care team. We’re overjoyed to share that Emerson has since received her transplant and is thriving! 

 

Debby Arienti Fundraiser
We recently wrapped up a fundraiser honoring Debby Arienti, a beloved member of our Franklin community. To show her community’s support, we created a special earring collection featuring purple leather studs — the awareness color for lymphoma. Half of the proceeds from this collection were donated to the Lymphoma Research Foundation in her memory, helping to fund research, education, and resources for those affected by the disease.
