spinoff: Do you own any jewelry that supports a charity?

[ame]

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

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!

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

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.
