SCOSHA & CO.: Friendship Bracelets

Daily Candy's New York Weekend Guide featured SCOSHA & CO.'s Friendship Bracelets. Throughout August since it's Friendship Month, with the purchase of a SCOSHA & CO. Friendship Bracelet, they will send an additional friendship bracelet to a friend of your choice residing in the U.S. for free. All proceeds from the sales of the friendship bracelets go to benefit the Art in All of Us organization. The Art in All of Us organization promotes global cultural exchange through art and creative activity programs. I like these bracelets because they are cute and because they benefit a good cause. I also like them because I'm sure like many of you, I have some people who are close to me who live across the country from me and these could be a good way to show them how much you appreciate their friendship.

BuyMyCrap - Hope for Haiti

50% of the sale of these resin stacking rings will be donated to Food for the Hungry's Haiti Earthquake Response. BuyMyCrap resin stacking rings are handmade and for $18 you get to pick 3 and make your own personal combination. I would make my personal combination using the purple, antique silver and white. I would wear all 3 at the same time and would wear the antique silver one in the middle. What I love about these rings besides being able to personalize your combination, is that they are so versatile. You could easily pair one of them up with one of your other favorite rings or add it to a stacking ring combination you already own.

gin & butterflies - Hope for Haiti

For every purchase made from gin & butterflies Etsy shop, a $10 contribution will be made to Doctors Without Borders Haitian Relief.

I also love the Long Sterling Y-Necklace, you can wear this necklace with just about anything and it will add some serious sex appeal and glamour.

ken & dana - Hope for Haiti

This necklace is from ken & dana design and it was designed as their way to help with Haiti earthquake relief. The text on the necklace is the identifier for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 that abolished the national-origin quotas that had been in place in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1924. By abolishing these quotas it resulted in new immigration from non-European unions. For every necklace purchased, $30 will be donated to the Red Cross.

Yassai 7 - Loved

Last Thursdays New York Magazine the Cut: Best Bet was Yassai 7's Loved Necklace. Yassai 7's jewelry line is made up of 7 different collections that support each support a different cause making Yassai 7 a jewelry line "that seeks to Fashionably Change the World." The Loved necklace supports the cause to stop the trade of blood diamonds. The word "love" is spelled out using letters that are made up of different weapons. The thick chain and metal "love" makes this necklace tough and almost armor like. I really like this necklace as a piece of jewlery and the fact that it's also for a cause makes it that much more appealing. Be sure to check out all of the pieces in the Yassai 7 collection because the pieces are fashionable and the causes they support range from homelessness to genocide in Darfur.
