On May 14, 1948, David Ben‑Gurion spoke six words that electrified the world: “The State of Israel has arisen!”

Three years later, Ben‑Gurion made another dramatic announcement: Israel Bonds, Israel’s initiative for a global economic partnership with the Diaspora, had officially launched.

A defining moment in Israel's history, the creation of Israel Bonds reinforced the deeply held connection between supporters of Israel around the world and the people of Israel.

In acknowledging the role of Israel Bonds, both historically and since Oct. 7, 2023, the Israel Ministry of Finance Investor Newsletter dated April 2024 stated, “The Israel Bonds Organization (Israel Bonds), the state’s longest‑standing financing source, raised USD 2.7 billion in 2023, with the majority of funding coming in the wake of the October 7 terrorist attacks. This organization issues non-tradable, low‑denomination bonds across numerous countries, primarily targeting retail bond buyers, notably the Jewish Diaspora, as well as supportive institutions, such as U.S. state treasuries. Due to its unique investor base, Israel Bonds exhibits a counter-cyclical dynamic with Israel: during times of economic or geopolitical shock, the organization experiences an increase in demand as investors express their support for Israel.”

From its inception, Anzie Jewelry has been a celebration of life and color. Named after its founder, Anzie Stein, the collection is best known for its signature pieces using precious gemstones.

Anzie was an accomplished artist making paintings and etchings when her husband Barry was diagnosed with colon cancer. Their way of coping was to create a line of jewelry to help raise funds for colorectal cancer awareness. The success of their first piece, the Lifesaver Bracelet, led to the official launch of Anzie Jewelry in 1999. Anzie’s husband Barry survived the disease and now dedicates his time to cancer prevention.

Anzie and her daughters, Jaclyn and Joanna, now express their talent through the design of colorful jewelry. The company's guiding principles have remained the same throughout the years; family, community, philanthropy and artistic integrity.

Created in Montreal, Anzie's pieces are classic, colorful expressions that highlight the natural beauty and style of today's generation. These versatile and elegant collections are worn at the most fashionable events, yet they are simple enough to be enjoyed every day, providing "Everyday Luxury" for today's women. The collection is largely inspired by Montreal's eclectic style and the classic French woman who is effortlessly chic.

The collections that make up Anzie are as varied as the women who inspire us, but they all share the same qualities-polished, inventive, and timeless. The Dew Drop Collection features Anzie's signature setting, inspired by the simplicity of early morning dew drops and the calming views of the ocean. The Bouquet collection, bursting with colorful stones delicately arranged in floral patterns reflects the collection's inspiration in nature. The Cléo collection plays with symmetry and opposites, featuring sparkling black-tie-worthy pieces with a mischievous twist. The Aztec collection, inspired by Southwestern and Art Deco influences, showcases spikes, trillion cut gemstones and starbursts.

Anzie's innovative designs have gained the admiration of the fashion world and Anzie has been featured in top fashion publications as well as fine jewelry stores and department stores. The guiding principles that led to the creation of Anzie remain at its foundation and today each member of the Stein family is committed to its success.

"A burst of color adds happiness to my day. I hope that you enjoy your Anzie pieces and that they bring happiness to your life too." - Anzie
