Gorgeous, Limited Edition "Key of Life"

Filed under: Jewelry, Charity, Children, Big Givers

Sparkly!
The "Key of Life" might not open any doors, but it will certainly catch a lot of eyes! What you see above is actually an 18ct white gold charm weighing 18 grams, handset with 2 carats of brilliant cut VS G color diamonds. It is intended to be worn on a chain as a necklace or, if you're very fancy, your finest charm bracelet.

But it's more than just a pretty key. Each $5,000 Key of Life provides 18 patients with HIV/AIDS care for one year in a Keep a Child Alive treatment center in Africa. And yes, your $5,000 purchase is thusly tax deductible.

The limited edition Key of Life charms by Alexander Amosu are available exclusively through Keep a Child Alive. Only 100 keys were made, and the first was presented to KCA Co-Founder and Global Ambassador Alicia Keys.

Keep a Child Alive, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Charity of the Day


AIDS is officially 25 years old and sadly in many ways it's as strong and as deadly as ever. In certain parts of South Africa as much as 41% of the population is afflicted with AIDS, and worldwide 90% of the people who have it don't know it. Ignorance is one of the biggest hurdles in treating and controlling the spread of AIDS, and Keep a Child Alive is an organization focused on helping with both education, treatment, and prevention of this devastating disease -- not to mention support of the children left in its wake.

To date over 15 million children have lost one or both parents to the AIDS pandemic, and for just $1 a day you can buy the drugs needed to keep a child alive.

Giorgio Armani To Design For Alicia Keys

Filed under: Celebrity Shopping

Alicia Keys is getting ready for her upcoming As I Am world tour, and among other things I'm sure she has been trying to decide what to wear. That decision is a lot easier now, though, as Giorgio Armani has designed an entire bespoke wardrobe just for the singer. She'll wear looks tailored for her but inspired by 3 different looks from Armani's collections, including a crocodile-embossed leather vest accented with Swarovski crystal buckles, Armani's new lacquered Alicia jeans, a sequined tunic with crystal-beaded fringing, and a tiered silk taffeta top with more Swarovski crystals. She's gonna look great.
