hi there,

Is anybody planning on buying this ring? Have you seen it yet? Ive seen pics and adverts in mags, but have yet to go in to store to check it out.

Quite honestly, and I don't mean to offend anyone, I would rather skip the ring and donate the money directly to charity.

i would have to agree since the ring mentioned is just a simple band with the brand etched in. if it was a unique design (like the kays heart design http://www.kay.com/lwp/wcm/connect/Kay/Open+Hearts+by+Jane+Seymour™/Learn+More/) i would go for it.

Actually, there's a cute flower design that you don't see in the photos. I went to the Bulgari boutique in Manhattan on another errand today and got a good look at it. The script used for the name is how it looked 160 years ago. I found it cute.

i think it's great when jewelry houses (or other design houses) promote charity awareness like this.

I think the ring is totally shameless. A simple ring with a logo branded on it? Not my idea of chic. I'd just donate my money to the charity directly.

Considering how much or rather, how little, the ring would cost Bulgari to produce, even if they donated $60 from the price of $290, I wouldn't be surprised if Bulgari still made a handsome profit. So who's the one really donating to charity?
