October is breast Cancer Awareness month. As a way to fight for a cure, many jewelry designers are coming together with other retailers to help raise money for breast cancer research:

Adriana Jenkins of Sterling Jones Designs has designed a special necklace: " The 36-inch-long necklace is a 14k gold-filled chain studded with faceted rose quartz gemstones. Available online and in stores, the ``hope'' necklace retails for $140, but 15 percent of all sales will go to the Ellie Fund (www.elliefund.org), a nonprofit organization that supports breast cancer research, education and community outreach programs."
