Dorothy Hamill and Helzberg Diamonds Launch Charitable Jewelry Collection
Posted on October 17, 2010
Olympic figure skater Dorothy Hamill, a breast cancer survivor, has partnered with Helzberg Diamonds to launch a fine jewelry collection to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Helzberg will donate $5 from every purchase from the collection to Susan G. Komen. Helzberg is guaranteeing a minimum donation of $100,000.
The fine jewelry collection is called "Love, Help and Hope by Dorothy Hamill." A report in National Jewelry says the collection includes a "freshwater cultured pearl bracelet, 14-karat white gold pendants studded with diamonds and pink sapphires, and two-tone sterling silver and 14-karat gold pendants, earrings and rings." Prices for the pieces range from $80 to $2,000.
Helzberg launched an "I Am Loved" website to coincide with the collection.
Beryl Raff, Chairman and CEO, says in the announcement, "Our new campaign is born from the rich history and culture of Helzberg Diamonds. 'I Am Loved' is a real story from real people – Barnett and Shirley Helzberg. We are bringing that emotion to life through our efforts in order to harness those genuine feelings, as we believe everyone wants to feel loved. We want to encourage people to take a moment out of their busy lives, especially during the holiday season, and share their own stories of love."
