Introduced in 2013 at the American Association of Orthodontists conference in Philly, the earrings sold out- 3,000 pairs in three days! The Craftons were on to something! Within two years, the company has gone global, selling to dentists and other medical professionals on both sides of the Atlantic. With this initial success came the demand from additional markets. Now BracketEars\u00ae sells not only to dentists, but also to retail vendors, non-profit organizations and direct sales to the public.<\/p>\n With increased demand, Gigi and Mac have added additional products to the line. The company now offers, in addition to earrings, bracelets, whimsical charms and other orthodontically themed jewelry. Bracket Ears has broadened its mission to include any worthy cause that would like to partner to raise funds and awareness. When Bracket Ears partners with vendors, we allow our vendors to choose the cause they wish to support. To date, Bracket Ears jewelry has been used to support such non profits as Autism Speaks, Bike to the Beach, Howard County Autism Society, Susan B. Komen, War Dogs, Heart Association. The Bracket Ears story has been featured in local papers and on television, and its example has inspired other young people to feel their power and work for a cause.
