"Dreams of Africa was set up by Whiteflash as a way of helping the African victims of 'blood diamonds'. With the introduction of the Awear range of jewelry for kids, young people can show the world that Love and Hope is alive and well."
Diamonds For Life, 100% of all profits go to WCCI."Worn near the heart, the pendant will touch the hearts of all who share our dreams of Africa. Whiteflash commissioned the design of this pendant to give expression to the desire to help heal the broken lives of the victims of blood diamonds. The sparkling conflict-free diamonds symbolize innocence, the sapphires stand for truth. The center stone is mother Africa and the spirals portray awareness as it spreads out to the world we all share."
I try to always be exceptionally contentious of all my purchases. Actively trying to always be part of the change. Courtesy of Whiteflash, and their Dreams of Africa line, I enjoy a new ring.
The Kimberley Process, is to be greatly applauded as the 'blood diamond' trade has been reduced by 95%, still areas of conflict remain.
Happy Wednesday Friends! Have an awesome day!

oh this jewelry is lovely, and i am so relieved that people are trying to alleviate the horrors of blood diamonds. so that is a good thing.
ReplyDeletei can't afford diamonds (and none of the loser men in my life have bothered to BUY them for me), but i think i would/will take all possible steps to avoid buying blood diamonds.
in the meantime, i'm all for costume jewelry! i have tons of it, and would roll around in it if i could.
lamest comment ever. i am not right in the head or the tummy today!
this is such an important topic and i'm happy to see a company standing up and doing what's right for the diamond trade business. very nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous jewelry and such a great cause!
ReplyDeleteThat jewelry is amazing!! And I would feel totally guilt free buying it...I would just have to hide the receipts from the husband!!

ReplyDeleteYou're such a good person buying items to support change and good causes. I shop at forever21 where jewelry is cute and cheap. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLove these earrings though and would you believe I had no idea what a blood diamond was until leo dicaprio came out with that movie. I'm so clueless sometimes.

ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that this is going on. I watched documentary on it about 9 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't bring myself to see the movie(Leo's) when it came out because I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to handle it.
Such a great cause and I love that ring!
RYC: Blank emails...I might've been better off sending those :)
The jewelry is so pretty, and such a wonderful cause!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing cause! I don't typically buy expensive jewelry but when I got engaged I told my hubby how important it was to NOT have a "blood diamond"!
ReplyDeleteI like that it has such a great cause and its pretty too

ReplyDeleteironic i just wacthed blood diamond.
ReplyDeletethat is really cool, especially now that i really know more about that industry.
It's a relief to know that there are responsible jewelry companies out there.
ReplyDeleteWow this is fantastic..the jewelry is gorgeous and the cause is much needed..!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely on my birthday wish list! (Next month!!) Although there are a LOT of holes in the Kimberly process, I am glad to see that there are consumers and companies as amazing as you (and Whiteflash) to spread the word.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
It's nice to see something positive happening with such an important issue at stake!
ReplyDeleteall i can say is Wow!

ReplyDeleteI love the idea and the jewelry is beautiful.
ReplyDeletesuch a great cause, and i love the ring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful cause !!! Love this jewelry design ...simple but so strong !!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I love how you spotlight consumer consciousness - so many people just blindly buy things and don't ever think that they are supporting unethical practices or that they are part of the problem.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful, positive way to help people become more aware of how what they buy affects others. :)
so gorgeous
