Texas Hill Country jewelry store to donate charm sale proceeds in wake of floods
A jewelry store in the heart of flood-stricken Texas Hill Country announced that it will donate proceeds from one of its signature charms. James Avery Artisan Jewelry said in a July 7 Facebook post that all proceeds from the sales of the "Deep in the Heart of Texas" charm through Aug. 4 would go to relief efforts in and around Hill Country. The company added that it is pledging $1 million for "food, shelter, mental health care, and other critical needs." "We're humbled by the support you've shown our friends and family in the Texas Hill Country and surrounding areas," the company said in a July 8 update. "The Deep in the Heart of Texas Charm sold out faster than we could have imagined." The Kerrville-based company said in the update that it reopened its facilities and that it is accepting backorders for the charm. It may take six weeks or longer to fulfill orders, the company said. USA TODAY reached out to the company for further comment Tuesday night and did not receive an immediate response. Texas flood recovery: Here's how to help those affected by the devastating Texas floods The death toll rose to at least 109, including at least 27 children and counselors from the beloved Camp Mystic, a storied Christian girls camp in Kerr County, where flooding hit the hardest beginning July 4. At least 30 children were among those killed in the county, Sheriff Larry Leitha said in an update the morning of July 8. As first responders and volunteers scour the region for any sign of life, rescuing people clinging to trees using helicopters, the death toll has steadily risen. Parents nationwide looked on with anxiety and horror as the toll at Camp Mystic became clearer. Photos of the aftermath show children's bunks caked in mud, belongings strewn about and a building with an entire wall missing. In an afternoon news conference, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed the fatalities and said 161 people are known to be missing in Kerr County alone.

A Sweet Treat for Mother's Day: James Avery and Blue Bell Release New Ice Cream Sandwich Charm
KERRVILLE, Texas, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This Mother's Day, James Avery Artisan Jewelry is honoring family and Texas nostalgia with a new seasonal collection—including a charming collaboration with another iconic Texas brand: Blue Bell Creameries. The newest addition to the James Avery collection is the Enamel Blue Bell® Ice Cream Sandwich Charm, a tribute to a beloved Texas treat. Crafted in bronze, sterling silver, and colorful enamel, this charm evokes the sweetness of a classic Blue Bell® Ice Cream Sandwich—right down to the half-torn wrapper and creamy vanilla ice cream nestled between chocolate wafers. This addition follows the success of James Avery's Blue Bell® Ice Cream Charm (resembling a half gallon of the "best ice cream in the country"), a customer favorite first released in 2022. "We are excited to partner again with James Avery Artisan Jewelry," said Sara Schramm, Blue Bell marketing brand manager. "The Enamel Blue Bell® Ice Cream Sandwich Charm captures our sweet treat perfectly. James Avery's attention to detail is unmatched." The partnership between James Avery and Blue Bell Creameries celebrates shared Texas roots and the deep family values that have shaped both brands for generations. Former Blue Bell CEO Ed Kruse began working at the creamery in 1941 at just 13 years old when he and his brother Howard hand-wrapped ice cream sandwiches by the dozen—just like the one captured in this keepsake. "Blue Bell is such a nostalgic part of life for so many Texans," says Sarah Herr, James Avery's Vice President of Merchandising and Design. "Our entire Mother's Day release is about celebrating special traditions and meaningful connections, like the memory of enjoying a Blue Bell sandwich with mom." In addition to the Blue Bell collaboration, the Mother's Day collection features new heartfelt designs that honor motherhood and the everyday moments that matter most. From colorful charms to spring-inspired rings, each piece is an artful and enduring expression of love.
