choose a designer donating to charity

Ever needed an excuse for accessories? I thought not, but just in case you were having a twinge of guilt about personal adornment, there's a rash of jewellery designers who can help.
Alongside their regular collections, Wright & Teague, Links of London and Kira Bella are all selling pieces in aid of charities. Edgy Mayfair jewellers Wright & Teague links of london wholesale is selling a silver necklace and bangle to benefit WaterAid, a charity that works with some of the world's poorest people, helping to provide clean, safe water, sanitation and hygiene education. Not only is Wright & Teague doing good works, but it has priced the two pieces at 25 per cent less than usual to encourage you to buy. For every necklace, £ 95, and bangle, £ 65, sold it will donate £ 15 to WaterAid -the exact sum that provides one person access to the basics of clean water.
The Kira Bella jewellery brand (available at www.cocobay.co.uk) is also coming to the aid of some of the world's poorest people through sales of its six-piece Rio Beach Vibes collection, handmade by girls from favelas in Rio de Janeiro. A percentage of the profits isreinvested to help the vulnerable women and their children re-build their lives. Kira Bella is particularly ethically minded when it comes to jewellery, so she takes great pains to establish fair and lasting relationships with all her suppliers worldwide. And it's not too painful to help out, prices range from £ 20 for a pendant to £ 38 for a necklace.
Meanwhile, Links of London (links of london friendship bracelet) is aiming to raise £ 100,000 for the NSPCC's There4me project (www.there4me.com) -a new online counselling service for 12 to 16 year olds. Links has a lanyard bracelet in silver, £ 85, or a limited edition of 250 in yellow gold, £ 1,500. Links' Founder and Creative Director Annoushka Ducas's inspiration for the designs were friendship bracelets made by her children. "These bracelets are emblems of the love, support and understanding we share. Ihave tried to reflect these emotions in the designs."
Kylie, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Uma Thurman have all been seen wearing one.
And Sharon Osbourne wore one throughout the filming of the The X-Factor: links of london Pink Heart Charm Bracelet?
