Supporting cancer research
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and each year a number of companies and brands step up to create a piece of jewelry that helps to fund research through sales.
Below are five pieces dedicated to the cause, as well as price points and links to additional information for retailers.
Alex and Ani has created a bangle that gives back. Called the “Spiral Sun,” the expandable wire bangle is available in gold or silver colors and costs $38, with 20 percent of the purchase price benefitting the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Alex and Ani also is promising a minimum donation of $25,000 to the organization. The bangle will be available beginning Sept. 21 at the brand’s stores and with participating retailers.
Chamilia’s pink leather bracelet has a sterling silver clam-shell closure and “Hope” charm. It retails for $75 and a portion of each purchase will benefit the American Cancer Society.
Jewelry brand Lafonn has launched a special collection, called Pink Ribbon, comprised of three necklaces made in sterling silver, bonded with platinum and set with pink and colorless simulated diamonds. For each piece purchased, a percentage of proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Komen Orange County organization. (Retail prices, from left: $100, $175, $180)
Onyx XOXO’s leather, brass and sterling silver ear cuff, which retails for $150 with $50 going to breast cancer research
Stella & Dot’s “Resilience Cuff” is made in a rose gold-hued metal with thread and micro-pavé stones. Co-designed by How I Met Your Mother actress Cobie Smulders, it retails for $34, with 20 percent of proceeds benefitting the Noreen Fraser Foundation.
