We've seen Hello Kitty fine jewelry, another purveyor of kiddie character jewelry gone high end is Tweety Fine Jewelry. The the brand with the slogan "fine jewelry for hot chicks" provides jewelry based Looney Tunes cartoon character done in gold, enamel, diamonds and yellow sapphires. The company is also auctioning off a one-of-a-kind VW Bug, in yellow of course, with a blue and white interior and cute little Tweety headlights. The car is valued at more than $60,000 and proceeds support Jewelers for Children, which gives to children in need. The auction doesn't end until next February.
