Made in the USA Green Bracelets.
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to get acquainted. We love what we're doing and appreciate your interest in Cangles.
In August 2009 our family was discussing a heartbreaking drive we'd taken through the neighborhoods where our family had lived for three generations. What were once thriving neighborhoods was now home to poverty with dozens of boarded-up businesses, littered with refuse.
During this conversation the idea of creating bangles by recycling cans thrown away due to carelessness was born. How exciting to actually do something that positively impacts the environment! The bonus was we'd be creating an affordable fashion accessory for you to wear - Fashionably Green jewelry. Eventually, with enough sales, we could employ people from our community in need of jobs. We chose to name our enterprise Cangles, combining the words can and bangle. Now, the fact that none of us had a background in jewelry manufacturing did not deter us one bit! With determination a housewife, a retired AT&T problem-solving technical specialist, a court reporter, and a commercial tile layer could certainly accomplish these goals.
Fast-forward three and a half years. Yes, we did! We developed a process by which we could reliably and safely manufacture Cangles Fashionably Green jewelry. All made by hand, we are extremely proud of the quality and finish of all of our products. Not satisfied with just offering bangles for women, you may now select 1/2-inch, 1-inch, or our brand-new 1 3/4 cuff bracelets in styles for men and women. Earrings, hair clips, and necklaces round out our upcycled jewelry creations.
We've had the honor of being asked to design four exclusive custom bracelets licensed by Save the Earth Foundation, which are available in our shopping area. Proceeds from those sales directly aid the Save the Earth Foundation in their environmental research and education efforts.
Remembering those in need is important to us. From every item that you purchase, a portion is donated. The Food Bank Council of Michigan, the Wounded Warrior Project, and Cass River Pet Friendz are among the charities you're donating to when you purchase Cangles. All recycled aluminum can tabs are delivered to the Ronald McDonald House in Detroit, Michigan, in memory of Nicole Emily Briggs from Vassar, who lived her brief life from August 16, 1986 to March 12, 1990. And in honor of our mother, Shirley Jean, we've designed three special Cangles Cure bracelets. From each bracelet you buy, $1 is donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure?.

The following is a reply from Cangles to our question – "Are your products Made in the USA?"
How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.
We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.
To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.
What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.
Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
