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.

My husband and I met and got together 18 1/2 years ago over a Hershey's kiss. That would mean alot to me.
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.

GREAT IDEA COULD BE SOMETHING IN TEN YEARS
YET AN 8 CARAT ROLO WITH SAPHIRE IN THE MIDDLE

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

You realize that spending money on things like this is what made the Roman Empire fall?

Wow!!!

Sounds impressive, but each diamond is really worth slightly more than $33 a piece...
