Embrace the Difference combines meaningful design with philanthropy, donating nearly $1 million to charitable causes. Founded by Robyn Zimmer, the brand supports inclusivity and kindness.
-- The Story Behind Embrace the Difference
Embrace the Difference was founded by Robyn Zimmer, a mother who sought to turn her personal journey into a symbol of inclusion and compassion. Inspired by her son Sam’s experiences, Robyn created a jewelry line that not only represents personal meaning but also gives back to those in need. Sam, diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome at 14, has been a guiding force in Robyn’s life, shaping the vision for the brand.
Through Sam’s challenges—from early speech delays to his diagnosis—Robyn found inspiration to create a symbol that would represent the connection between all people, regardless of differences. The Embrace the Difference symbol—a square embraced by circles—serves as a universal reminder that we are all connected, regardless of our backgrounds or circumstances. The geometric design, blending sharp lines with curves, embodies both individual identity and community support.
This symbol soon led to the creation of the Embrace the Difference jewelry line, which has since grown into a mission-driven brand with a commitment to giving back. The company has raised nearly $1 million for various charitable causes, including those supporting special needs, chronic illness, and animal rescue.
Jewelry with a Purpose
More than just a brand, Embrace the Difference has become a movement. Each piece of jewelry tells a powerful story—one of connection, compassion, and kindness. With every purchase, customers not only wear a symbol of inclusion but contribute to meaningful causes. The company’s dedication to giving back extends beyond just monetary donations; it’s a true commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
In 2020, Embrace the Difference gained national recognition as a "Big Find" on QVC, furthering its reach and impact. This recognition has helped propel the brand into new opportunities to support individuals who face unique challenges in life.
A New Chapter: National Partnership with Special Olympics and the Alzheimer’s Association
In 2024, Embrace the Difference took another monumental step forward by announcing a national partnership with Special Olympics. This collaboration allows customers to choose where their donations go when they shop, with 10% of their purchase going to one of two charities: the Alzheimer’s Association or Special Olympics. This innovative donation feature, formerly known as Give & Grow, gives customers the opportunity to directly impact the causes that matter most to them.
By offering customers the ability to decide where their contributions go, Embrace the Difference has empowered people to become active participants in philanthropic efforts. This personalized approach reflects the company’s belief that everyone has a part to play in making the world a more inclusive and caring place.
The Core Message: Kindness and Connection
At the heart of Embrace the Difference lies a simple yet profound truth: we are all connected, no matter our differences. Robyn Zimmer explains, “At some point in life, each of us is the square—needing extra care—and at another, we’re part of the circle of support for someone else.” This philosophy shapes the company’s culture and drives its commitment to inclusivity and kindness.
Through its jewelry line, Embrace the Difference embodies this vision, offering customers a way to reflect on their own journeys and the people they support. The company’s mission is clear—be kind, embrace differences, and make a positive impact on the world.
What Sets Embrace the Difference Apart
What truly distinguishes Embrace the Difference from other brands is the authenticity and depth of meaning behind its designs. While many jewelry companies focus on trends, Embrace the Difference is rooted in purpose. The jewelry is not simply about fashion; it’s about raising awareness, building empathy, and inspiring others to join in the mission of kindness and inclusion. The brand’s core values are embedded in every piece, creating a powerful connection between customers and the causes they support.
With nearly $1 million raised for charity, Embrace the Difference is a beacon of how fashion can be a force for good. The company’s mission goes far beyond sales—it’s about making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most. And with its innovative donation feature, customers can see the direct impact their purchases have, further solidifying the brand’s dedication to compassion and generosity.
The Embrace the Difference Symbol: A Powerful Reminder
The Embrace the Difference symbol—a square embraced by circles—serves as a daily reminder of the brand’s core mission. It represents not only individual identity but also the interconnectedness of all people. Each piece of jewelry tells a story of support, kindness, and inclusion, making the symbol more than just an aesthetic choice. It’s a visual representation of the idea that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.
As the jewelry line continues to grow, so does its impact on the world. Robyn Zimmer’s personal journey with her son Sam has created something truly special—a movement that encourages people to embrace their differences and be kind to one another. Embrace the Difference is more than a jewelry brand—it’s a reminder that every person has the power to make a difference, one small act of kindness at a time.
