You’ve spent years curating your collection. Whether it’s that rare 18k gold necklace, a handful of commemorative coins, or a set of vintage collectibles, you know that quality matters. You wouldn’t let dust settle on your finest diamonds, so why let it settle in your lungs?
Welcome to America Breathe Freely 101. At Jewelry and More Auctions, we believe that a life well-lived is a life well-breathed. We aren't just here to help you win the next big bid on a stunning bracelet; we’re here to help you and your family thrive in an environment as pristine as a fresh-cut emerald.
In this guide, we’re diving deep into the science of NASA-certified ActivePure technology, the history of the America Breathe Freely campaign, and how you can transform your home into a sanctuary of clean air.
The "Space-Age" Science of ActivePure Technology
If it’s good enough for the International Space Station (ISS), it’s probably good enough for your living room. ActivePure technology didn’t start in a vacuum (well, technically it did), but its journey to Earth has changed the way we think about indoor wellness.
Unlike traditional air filters that sit in the corner like a shy wallflower, waiting for dust to float by, ActivePure is a "proactive" technology. It uses a specialized UV light and a proprietary catalytic process to create "ActivePure Molecules." These molecules: specifically hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide: are released into the air, where they seek and destroy pathogens, odors, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) on contact.
Why "Active" is Better Than "Passive"
Think of a standard HEPA filter like a bouncer at a club. If a piece of dust wants to get in, the filter stops it at the door. But what if the dust is already inside the club? That’s where ActivePure comes in. It sends out a "cleaning crew" into every corner of the room, neutralizing threats in the air and on surfaces.
According to studies from Kansas State University and the University of Cincinnati, this technology has been shown to reduce MRSA, E. coli, and even black mold by over 98%. For collectors who spend a lot of time indoors or in basements organizing their treasures, this is a game-changer. It’s not just about "filtering" air; it’s about "purifying" your entire environment.
The History and Science Behind 'America Breathe Freely'
The America Breathe Freely campaign was born out of a simple, yet ambitious goal: to bring the highest level of air purification technology to every American home. While ActivePure has its roots in NASA-funded research at the Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics, the campaign is about the people who use it.
In 2017, ActivePure was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame: a prestigious group that includes things like LASIK eye surgery and GPS. The America Breathe Freely initiative was launched to take this hall-of-fame tech and make it accessible to families, schools, and small business owners.
At Jewelry and More Auctions, our mission has always been about more than just commerce. We host auctions that support various charities, and we see air quality as an extension of that philanthropic spirit. Health is the ultimate luxury, and the history of this campaign is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves to breathe air that is free from invisible pollutants.

Wellness Tips for a Cleaner Home (and a Sparklier Collection)
Achieving NASA-level air quality doesn't happen by accident. It’s a lifestyle. Here are a few tips to keep your air fresh and your family healthy:
- Humidity Control: High humidity can lead to mold, which is the enemy of both your lungs and your vintage jewelry boxes. Aim for 30-50% humidity.
- The "Collector’s Dust" Myth: Many collectors believe a little dust is just "patina." In reality, dust is a mix of skin cells, outdoor pollutants, and pet dander. It can actually cause micro-abrasions on soft metals and stones. ActivePure causes these particles to clump together and fall to the floor where they can be easily vacuumed away.
- Ventilation is Key: Even with the best tech, opening a window for 10 minutes a day can help flush out stagnant air: unless the outdoor air quality is poor.
- Go Green: Certain houseplants, like Spider Plants or Peace Lilies, can help naturally process toxins. They also look great next to a display of silver necklaces.
