Body Bijou’s handmade jewelry is designed by 14-year-old Torontonian Linda Manziaris. The pieces are stunning and unique — from necklaces, bracelets and earrings to chains for the waist, legs and shoulders — priced between $40 and $240. The best part? Fifty percent of the net profits are donated to Girls Helping Girls, a registered charity to help girls in need attend school, that was founded by Linda’s teen sister Susanna. “Your Body Bijou purchase is a force for change and is contributing to the empowerment of women and girls around the world,” it says on the web site. — Karen Bliss
