San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/04/2011 -- Moment of Focus (www.momentoffocus.com), a San Francisco-based artisan jewelry company with nature-inspired modern designs, has a mission to make women of all ages feel fabulous, inside and out, by bringing the color and magic of nature to their daily lives. At Moment of Focus, they know that being generous at holiday time often means crowds, waits, and other inconveniences. Staying true to their goal to bring more beauty and joy to the world, they are taking the hassle out of holiday shopping so gift-givers can focus on the fun and celebration of the season.

Karen Berman, president of Moment of Focus, believes that buying a handmade artisan piece of jewelry as a gift is special. "Buying handcrafted jewelry is different than buying a popular item at a department store. The shopping experience should reflect that distinction and be unique as well," she shares.

Moment of Focus works tirelessly to ensure that giving their jewelry is as enjoyable for the giver and as getting it is for the recipient. For the holidays, they are taking this promise further. Beginning Nov 8, they will offer free domestic shipping, free gift wrapping and a free unique holiday card, with a hand-written message if requested.

The Moment of Focus team will even do the jewelry shopping for you. Use their online contact form or call them to tell them about the recipient's favorite color or interests. They will select one of their popular pendants for you and send you the link to purchase the item. Berman adds, "All of our pieces get rave reviews so shoppers can be confident about what we will choose." They stand behind that too; all merchandise purchased now through December 25 can be returned, if unused, through Jan 25.

Moment of Focus artisan jewelry can be purchased on their site at http://www.momentoffocus.com and, a smaller selection is available, at their Etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Momentoffocus. If you want to stay on top of promotions and news, they recommend joining their Facebook page or their mailing list.

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/03/2011 -- Moment of Focus (http://www.momentoffocus.com), an artisan jewelry company with nature-inspired modern designs, is quickly expanding their online presence. After launching their new jewelry line and website in October, they are rapidly adding new channels to build relationships with their community and make it easy for customers to connect with them. What makes this different than many other companies' approaches is that their actions and timeline are being driven by their customers.

After receiving only a handful of inquires through their site about creating an Etsy shop, Moment of Focus took action and created an Etsy shop this week with a smaller selection of products. Our customers wanted to be able to easily purchase our jewelry while looking for other handmade items and we want to be available where they need us.

It has been a busy week at Moment of Focus because they also launched their Facebook page. "Understanding customers' needs, concerns and interests is important to us and Facebook will allow us to connect easily with them and our broader community," Karen Berman, president of Moment of Focus, states.

Our mission is to help women feel fabulous, inside and out, by bringing the magic of nature to their daily lives. In addition to collecting feedback and sharing product announcements, special deals and company news, the Facebook page will feature Berman's nature photographs from around the world to make it easy for people to stop and savor nature's magnificence from anywhere at any time of day. "The great thing about Facebook is that men will also be able to share in the enjoyment of beautiful scenes. Our products focus on women, but we wanted to find a way to include men in this mission as well."

We hope to have a large, active community on Facebook. This is not just about our company, it is about building a community that celebrates small moments and enjoys our amazing natural world.

San Francisco, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/01/2011 -- Moment of Focus (http://www.momentoffocus.com), a San Francisco-based artisan jewelry company, has a simple yet important mission to help women feel fabulous, inside and out, by connecting them with magic of nature and the joy in small moments. This business creates modern handmade nature jewelry from original photographs and since its inception, Karen Berman, president, has been acting on making the company's vision become a reality. "Our customers shine wearing their Moment of Focus necklaces and feel more content when they focus on the beauty of scene in their necklace and around them," states Berman.

For Berman, many of her happiest moments are in nature and in being creative. To foster these experiences for others, Berman has put a strong focus on donating to charities that protect the environment and wildlife and to those that support art education.

On Nov 17, a Moment of Focus necklace will be auctioned off at the Green and Gold Gala for the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers whose mission is to educate and connect people to plants and their importance to our planet. A group that supports the Conservatory and provides additional support to the community including college scholarships, the San Francisco Garden Club, will be the recipient of a feminine Moment of Focus necklace featuring a delicate pink rose, for their upcoming auction.

Focusing on art education, Berman will be selling Moment of Focus jewelry at the Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy as part of a Design Show on November 19 where 25% of all of her sales will be donated to the school for an artist residence and other art education efforts for elementary school children. Berman chose these groups to receive donations because she has seen their work first hand and knows they will put the money raised to good use.

"I am committed to building our company's charitable contributions as Moment of Focus grows." I know our customers are just as excited about this goal. "I adore my necklaces and all of the compliments I get when I wear them, but it is more meaningful for me knowing that I am buying from a company that supports important causes," Heidi Kraft of Kraft Your Success, a loyal customer who owns three Moment of Focus pieces.

Moment of Focus jewelry can be purchased through their online store at www.momentoffocus.com or at the events listed above.
