link before you sink
find strength by linking with others
worn as a reminder we're linked through life's ups & downs
Custom 18k RG Thick & Thin BFF Set
In 2014 Jenna Righi went through multiple losses. She was heartbroken, jobless, and buried in college debt but knew she needed to relocate back home to Columbus, OH from Florida to restart her life. On the 17 hour car ride home she made a promise to herself that when she got back on her feet she would pay it forward to others going through tough times.
3 years later she was riding her bike and the chain fell off; she looked down and had an epiphany: the symbolism of “links” and connection while being broken hit her, and she suddenly realized she could make jewelry charms out of the broken bike chain- Link Before You Sink “LBYS” was born that day.
Our jewelry is worn as a reminder you're not alone; our pieces were created to link with you.
LBYS has since expanded to many styles but each includes a link as a reminder we’re linked through life’s ups & downs. We’ve now been linked in 19 countries.
“I’d rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else. When the darkness roles in, I’ll be there through THICK & THIN.”

commonly asked questions

Avoid harsh chemicals such as hairspray, body creams/oils, and sun tan lotions as it can wear and tear on the plating.
If your jewelry does comes into contact with any of the above, after each wear please make sure you dry it, clean it gently with warm soapy water and gently wipe dry with a soft cloth after each wear. Do not leave any substance on your jewelry as it can react, cause damage and discolor.
