April 4, 2006 — Cooperstown, NY — If you live in Cooperstown, New York, in the shadow of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, you think about baseball. And when Jennifer Stewart and Anne Hall, two long-time Cooperstown residents, thought about baseball, they realized there was something missing for women and girls. “Women enjoy celebrating and supporting the community, spending quality time with family and friends and rooting for our home team. That’s the passion women have about America’s game.” Hall says.

The two Cooperstown women did some research and found that their instincts were right: Roughly 42% of fans at major league baseball stadiums are women. So they set about creating a classic piece of jewelry that would signify the wearer’s love of the game.

Chic and stylish, the Cooperstown Baseball Bracelet is perfect for any baseball loving women or girls in your life with a simple arc of sterling silver that rings the wrist, coming together beneath the beautiful and instantly recognizable sphere of a stitched baseball. It clasps with a twist of the ball, making it truly “a woman's turn.” “From a distance, the Cooperstown Baseball Bracelet is a beautiful bracelet,” says Stewart. “Up close, it’s a beautiful bracelet that celebrates a woman’s passion for the game.”

The bracelet is offered in two versions of the same design one in sterling silver and the other in sterling silver and 14 Karat gold.

“Some women love a team jersey or ball cap,” says Hall, “but many are looking to buy a truly special piece—one that is timeless, tasteful, and stylish. That’s what the Cooperstown Baseball Bracelet is all about.”
Stewart and Hall developed a business model that relied entirely on U.S. manufacturing. “We’re celebrating our national pastime,” Stewart says, “and we wanted to do that in a way that helped create jobs in America.” The design on the bracelet is patent pending.

Whether women and girls play the game, cheer in the stands or drive the team this bracelet is sure to hit a homerun.
