Gorgeous, Limited Edition "Key of Life"

Filed under: Jewelry, Charity, Children, Big Givers

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.

Filed under: Jewelry

There aren't always as many golf-oriented gifts for women as there are for men, but fortunately Charriol made this adorable Diamond Gold Bag Charm. The bag is made of 18K white gold and has .03 carats of pavé diamonds sent into it, which is just enough to give it a little bit of sparkle without making it too opulent for wearing out to the links. It comes with a chain, which adjusts from 16"-18" and is made in the US. But if golf isn't your sport, they also have a tennis racket pendant ($350) and an ice skating one ($325), as well. Price: $275.

An Unusual Golden Charm

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Apparently, this golden charm is one of the most popular cell phone accessories in Japan, with almost 3 million units sold. At this point, you're probably thinking that it looks a lot like something a dog might do on your living room rug. If so, you're right. It looks like golden poop and it is supposed to be a good luck charm.

If we absolutely had to pick one, we'd opt for the version that appears to be filled with gold dust and is slightly more tasteful than the alternatives. Under no circumstances would we want to take the catchers' mitt charms, which represents "catching money", because it would be too easily mistaken as a symbol of cleaning up after the previously-mentioned dog for our comfort.
