Kristen Bell Designs Necklace For Charity

Actress Kristen Bell has partnered with Satya Jewelry on a piece of jewelry for a good cause. The necklace is made of hand cast sterling silver with 24kt gold vermeil matte finish in the shape of a tree of life. The pendant is paired with a green peridot stone. The Satya Foundation donates 100% of the net proceeds from this necklace to Invisible Children's programs in the war-devastated region of northern Uganda. The necklace sells for $38.

On Crowdrise, Bell tells of her experience in visiting Uganda with Invisible Children to meet the children there. Part of the Invisible Children mission is to prevent rebel forces from abducting children and creating child soldiers (over 30,000 children have been abducted in Uganda since 1986). Invisible Children also works on building new schools to give children an education. A video on the work of Invisible Children is after the jump.

Courtney Cox And David Arquette Collaborate On Charity Jewelry Line

Hollywood couple Courtney Cox and David Arquette have become the latest celebrities to have a jewelry line, but theirs is for a good cause. The pair have collaborated with Satya Jewelry on a line of butterfly-themed pieces to raise awareness of a genetic condition, epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Courtney Cox told Vogue that the couple got involved when the son of a close friend was born with the condition which manifests in extremely fragile skin and recurrent blister formation similar to the look of a third-degree burn. The young sufferers are known as "butterfly children" because their skin is as fragile as a butterfly wing.

The Satya Foundation donates 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the jewelry to the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation, which supports the fight to find a cure for this rare childhood skin disease. Pieces range in price from $24 for a silver pendant to $348 for the gold version shown above.
