Share Ring
December 20, 2009
Three Ventura jewelry stores have teamed up to send a united message of giving and volunteering with the Share Ring necklace. Fox Fine Jewelry, Nerces Fine Jewelry, and Lynn’s Jewelry Studio are offering circular sterling silver pendants inscribed with the words “Hope,” “Strength,” and “Unity.” One hundred percent of the proceeds for these symbolic necklaces are donated to the Points of Light Institute, a nonprofit organization that distributes over 50 million dollars annually to thousands of charities nationwide. The “Share Ring” necklace will also be given away to those without jobs this holiday season. “Our local jewelers are demonstrating that in spite of the bad economy, we can all help,” notes Debbie Fox, co-owner of Fox Fine Jewelry. “Buying, wearing, and giving the Share Ring reminds people to volunteer and donate, and gives hope to those who are out of work. We can pull ourselves out of this crisis by finding ways to give and help others.”

Floating Diamonds
December 9, 2009
Wear a tiny diamond snow globe on your finger! Royal Asscher has designed a line of 18 rings featuring loose diamonds floating beneath a natural sapphire dome. As you move, so do the diamonds, twinkling with fire and brilliance as they gently cascade from one side of these mesmerizing rings to the other. The rings are part of Royal Asscher’s Stars of Africa initiative, created to raise funds for health care, education, and self-sufficiency programs in Africa. According to Lita Asscher, president of Royal Asscher of America, the initiative gets its name from the Star of Africa diamond (a.k.a Cullinan, weighing in at 3,105 carats in the rough), originally cut by the Asscher family in 1907. “But the true Star of Africa,” Lita says, “its most precious resource, is her people.” Vice President Mike Asscher adds, “It is of paramount importance to our company that diamonds bring happiness and well-being to all, and that they are used for development purposes and not to fund civil destruction.”
