Carolina Bucci partners with Make-A-Wish UK charity

Eponymous jewellery brand Carolina Bucci has partnered with Make-A-Wish UK charity with the launch of three limited-edition sterling silver bracelets to support its Art of Wishes charity initiative.

The Wish children were invited to attend a creative workshop with Bucci in her design “mood room” in London in January. 

 Each Art of Wishes Lucky bracelet was inspired by the creativity of wish children with each child designing the unique charms and colours of each bracelet.

Each charm reflects the children’s personal journeys, hopes, and dreams, with £100 from every bracelet sold going to support Make-A-Wish UK.

This is the first time Bucci has created a product range that isn’t designed entirely by her but by the Wish children. 

Emily Kellett aged 15 who has a rare condition called Arginnosuccinic Aciduria “wished to go to Legoland” and designed a peony flower charm to symbolise magic. 

Noah Wilsdon aged 12 who has a respiratory, complex lung condition “wished to be in the army and ride in a tank,” designed a lion charm to symbolise courage, and Rosie Matthews aged 10 whose sister Evie “wished to go to Lapland,” designed a dove to symbolise hope. 

Since her sister had her wish granted, Rosie has been fundraising for Make-A-Wish and previously made her own collection of bracelets to sell in aid of the charity.

Make-A-Wish said: “Whilst each of the wish children has their own personal experience of critical illness, they have all experienced the power of a wish and are united in their desire to raise money for Art of Wishes to help make other children’s wishes come true.”
