Such as AIDS research (like Until there's a cure) or the Dogeared Breast Cancer necklaces?

If so what is it, pics of it? and where did you get it!

I purchased a Cartier LOVE charity bracelet during their 1st year to support UNICEF from the store in Las Vegas. Having benefited from that charity in my younger years, I wanted to give back. The cord has long since fallen apart and so I wear the tiny ring on a chain.

I've also been looking at the Pink Yurman Dogtag that supports the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Haven't picked it up yet.

(*sorry, no pictures yet, I will post one later)

I do know of such a vendor, who supports relief efforts in Africa; however, if I name this vendor you will hunt me down and smack me silly

ame · Oct 14th, 2009, 01:00 PM

Yes I know of that vendor and yes I will smack you silly. lol

I am thinking maybe along the lines of smaller little things. Like a tiny pendant or something, like how Dogeared is. Or a nice bracelet like Until does.

Me&Ro has several charity pieces that are really lovely and support great causes. I don't have one, but I've purchased them as gifts for others.

Helen Ficalora does several really cute ones for different charities. You can see them on her website!

ame · Oct 14th, 2009, 02:47 PM

Ohh BOTH great ideas.

Thanks!

Pandora do a breast cancer awareness charm (gold and silver) and now in Australia they have breast cancer awareness bracelet.

Both are very nice - I don't own either as yet.

Let me know what you find. I think it's a great idea

ame · Oct 14th, 2009, 07:25 PM

Will do. I want little things that benefit someone. Too much of what I buy doesn't help the greater good lately whereas I used to be all about it. I do donate, and I do support causes and I do adopt families for the holidays instead of doing gifts for myself/family but I want something I wear to help too.

I second the Helen Ficalora charity necklaces. They're so pretty. She has a couple for breast cancer research, Project Smile, Parkinson's, ovarian cancer, and I think two more. They're all reasonably priced for being gold.

I also have been looking at some of Alex Woo's designs. I don't know very much about her jewelry but she does have a large variety. Here's a link.

I do, but it's not a major designer or anything. I have the Breast Cancer Awareness Charm Watch by Brighton and the matching earrings. I don't really wear it, but I should. I' not big into Brighton, but the watch was actually very nice for the price.

I have a charm bracelet from Brighton that when you buy it the proceeds supports Breast Cancer.
