Bracelets That Benefit

With 50% of profits being donated to the Global Fund, Carolina Bucci’s Special Edition (PRODUCT)RED™ bracelets are gorgeous, versatile and for an amazing cause.

The (PRODUCT)RED™ bracelets are the latest style of Bucci’s Lucky bracelet, and designed to be double-knotted or worn paired with other colours. Beautifully crafted to embody the playfulness of childhood friendship bracelets, this 18-karat gold jewellery is anything but juvenile. With three colour combinations (red silver and red silk, red silver and white silk, and black silver and red silk) and each with a silver charm stamped with the Carolina Bucci bee logo in parentheses, there is something for every globally-aware trendsetter.

Additionally, Bucci has designed an exclusive piece made of 18-karat red and black gold, intertwined with silk for a delicate but dazzling chain bracelet.

The Global Fund is an international institution that has invested approximately 19.3 billion US$ in 144 countries to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Since funded in 2002, influential people such as Ban Ki-moon, Bono, and Bill Gates have been known to support this large-scale organization. It was stated that as of June 2007, 1.9 million lives have been saved due to the efforts supported by the Global Fund.

This month, Holt Renfrew will launch these limited edition bracelets for $295. With 50% being donated to fight AIDS in Africa, perhaps your splurging can be compensated this time around.
