Great Gift Idea--Products That "Give Back"

Give the Gift of Hope This Holiday

Looking for a beautiful gift and a way to support women? Get gorgeous jewelry at great prices, and help support women everywhere. All you Purchase items from the L'Oreal Paris Color of Hope” Jewelry Collection!

There are plenty of glittery gift options to consider for the holidays, but before you simply go out and buy "bling," consider purchasing jewelry from this special “Color of Hope” Jewelry Collection. The photo really doesn't do the items justice...they are amazing in person! What the AdviceSisters love about these (besides the reasonable prices) is that these items are a great way to show your support with a visible symbol that you (and your lucky recipient) are helping to support the fight against Ovarian cancer, the most deadly of women’s cancers. L’Oréal Paris is donating 100% of all net profits ($5.00 for each sterling silver item and $150.00 for the diamond bracelet) from the Color of Hope jewelry collection to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF)

Aside from the charitable aspects of purchasing the Color of Hope items (reason enough to buy them) all the pieces are impressive--beautiful, high quality, sophisticated, and distinctive. They feature an “O" in pave cubic zirconia set on sterling silver chains. For the big spender, there's a gold and diamond bracelet too $795 with 1 carat of diamonds, the same given to 2005 Academy Award Nominees including Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, and Hilary Swank, who have championed the fight against ovarian cancer.

The "O" can be viewed as a circle representing life, endurance, love or a symbol for ovarian cancer. The prices are incredible affordable: the signature sterling silver Color of Hope Bracelet ($24.95 retail), the sterling silver Pavé Pendant with Chain ($24.95 retail) and sterling silver Pavé Earrings ($29.95 retail). I love the "O" pendant on the slim, silver chain, but the bracelet is a true find as it comes in three lengths (7", 7.3" and 8") so there is one to fit nearly every woman on the planet! Get a few for gifts and one to add that "little something" to your little black dress this holiday season. You'll let others know you are fashion savvy and doing good unto others. By the way, the items come beautifully boxed in midnight blue velvet presentation cases, making them even more impressive and a great value.

The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) is the leading independent, non-profit organization in the United States dedicated to advancing research, raising awareness and finding a cure. Ovarian cancer takes the lives of over 15,000 women in the United States each year, with over 22,000 new cases being diagnosed annually. There is currently no method of early detection, leading to late diagnosis in 75 percent of all cases. OCRF is committed to funding the best and the brightest of scientific investigators whose work focuses on new tools for detection, prevention, and better treatment options. To date, the OCRF has funded 112 researchers at 41 leading cancer institutes nationwide. For more information, please visit http://www.ocrf.org/.

L’Oreal Paris is dedicated to women around the world and the company has been inspired to give back and make a difference in their lives. In 1997, L’Oreal Paris made a long-term commitment to The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF), which continues to build. To date, L’Oreal Paris has helped raise over $13 million dollars on behalf of OCRF with fundraising efforts such as the L’Oréal Legends Gala and L’Oréal’s annual “Color of Hope” bracelet and cosmetic collection.
