We had the good fortune of connecting with Nikki Zazzali and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nikki, how does your business help the community?
Revive Charitable Jewelry is a business like no other. Based on the values of hope, strength, awareness, charity, and cures, we use cell imagery to create beautiful pieces of jewelry that boost awareness of various health related causes and give back to the community. With every purchase, we hope to make a difference in the lives of those affected by cancer and disease, offering support and comfort in their time of need. Through donations to our charity partners, we help to fund research for cures and patient programs. We are dedicated to working toward a world where these illnesses no longer hold power over us. Our customers play a crucial role in this mission, as they not only receive a beautiful piece of jewelry but also become a positive beacon of light, strength and awareness. Together, we can find cures, foster hope, and spread love, one piece of jewelry at a time.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Revive Jewelry is a handmade, charitable jewelry business. We are most proud and excited about our mission: to honor loved ones and survivors by celebrating the positives. Inspired by loved ones who were taken too soon, Nikki’s jewelry incorporates cellular imagery of various cancer and diseases’ in every design. Each sale donates 10% of proceeds to an associated charity. For example, each sale from the breast cancer awareness collection donates to Breast Cancer Research Foundation to help fund research and fight for a cure.

Nikki started Revive Jewelry after her brother was diagnosed with lupus & her grandfather passed away from lung cancer in 2014. Since then she’s been raising money for cancer and disease research through the sale of her unique styles based on cell images of the cause it represents. Now representing over 21 causes and counting. Nikki also struggles with infertility. Due to these unfortunate circumstances, she was inspired by her journey to create a way for you to use your personal embryo images to make your own custom jewelry that you’ll cherish forever.

This journey has certainly not been easy. There are a few obstacles that we’ve been resilient enough to overcome such as, finding sustainable sources for materials, managing costs and pricing to ensure profitability while still giving back, marketing and promoting the cause effectively and building a strong customer base. The most important challenge that we thrive to overcome day in and day out is to continuously spread awareness. Now more than ever, it is important to donate to charities to fund the research for the fight against cancer.

We’ve learned to become fearless in pursuing this dream. To be resilient through the challenges and passionate about the vision. It’s important to stay focused, never give up, and always believe in yourself. Only you have the power to turn your dreams into reality.

We want the world to know that our commitment to giving back doesn’t stop at just supporting research. We also prioritize ethical sourcing practices, ensuring that out jewelry is made with care for both the environment and the people who craft it. Our customers can feel good knowing that they are making a positive impact in more ways than one.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Some fun and interesting places to check out include the beaches like Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, and Hermosa Beach. There is also the historic Queen Mary in Long Beach, explore the vibrant art scene in Downtown Los Angeles, or go hiking in the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula. Additionally, there are plenty of excellent restaurants, shopping centers, and cultural attractions to continuously explore in the area. The South Bay truly has something for everyone.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Nikki definitely wouldn’t be where she is today without the love and support from her husband, Rob. He’s been her biggest cheerleader and has always pushed her to keep following this dream even when she wanted to give up. There’s no doubt in her mind that she wouldn’t be doing this still if Rob wasn’t in her life.
