Diamond Hershey's Kiss To Be Auctioned Off For Charity
Celebrity jeweler Neil Lane has created a special Hershey's Kisses design made of diamonds to celebrate the upcoming 100 year anniversary of the chocolate candy. Lane's seven carat pin is set with 755 diamonds and is worth more than $25,000. The design will be on the red carpet at the Emmy awards next weekend and will be auctioned off starting on the following Monday by "Clothes Off Our Back" with 100 percent of the proceeds donated to children's charities.

Geez !!! That's really useful. It's gotta rank right up there with a fur lined sink and an argyle bath tub. I can think of better things to do with 25 grand.

"100 percent of the proceeds donated to children's charities." THAT is what I like to see!!!!!
Who needs a diamond that large and that expensive. Aug 24th 2006 8:19PM
It is interesting, but it's not something I would cut my right arm off for.

Can I just touch it.

When I read this notation I was considering that 100% goes to children's charities. How often does this happen? Think of the many charities this money can help.

They should make it interesting . They should auction off an Orange County Choppers , custom, one of a kind motorcycle. That would easily fetch 6 figures !! Much bettr than a lame pin !!

It is original, I am sure some chocolate lover will give a nice amount just to have it.

I'd love that pin. A girl can't have too many diamonds.

They should have put in in a bag of kisses and let everyone try for it, would have made there sales skyrocket

Go online & find a site that explains diamonds and their true worth! This thing is made of diamond CHIPS!
I rate this ugly thing a big fat "F" for failure. 'Spose somebody will pay big for it, tho.
To each his own, etc.

It's good to see this sort of generosity. Most only donate a small portion and this is wonderful! It will do so much good!
