I designed this pendant for the American Cancer Society's Cattle Barons' Ball. The diamonds are naturally pink; unfortunately, the diamonds are a lighter color then I had wanted, but I think it turned out really well. I am proud to have been asked to participate in this event and hope my contribution will be extremely helpful in raising money. Raffle tickets are available at Bella Design Jewelers, and donations to the American Cancer Society can be made online, using the below link.

The latest at Bella - we are excited to be part of an upcoming event benefiting the American Cancer Society. On August 29th they are hosting the Cleveland Cattle Barons' Ball. You can visit http://www.cbbcleveland.org/ to get the details. I've designed and I'm in the process of creating a cool pendant titled "strength" that will be raffled the night of the ball.
I've had some great suggestions regarding the creation of the pendant. First my wife suggested that I create a piece that represented the strength shown by people who battle cancer. I decided to craft it from stainless steel - an amazingly strong yet very beautiful metal- along with rose gold which would represent the pink ribbon used to symbolize the fight against breast cancer. When one of our customers who has won her own battle against cancer came in to the store with a couple of old rose gold rings, Kara our manager suggested that the rose gold section of the pendant be made from her old rings. The stainless steel section of the pendant will be set with one carat of pink diamonds and the stainless steel piece will be suspended from a rose gold section. The whole piece will float on a 14k white gold, multi-strand chain with diamond accents. It should be beautiful, and more importantly raise money for cancer research.
You can support the cause by purchasing raffle tickets - we have them in the store - or you can find them through the Cancer Society website.
I'll post an image of the pendant soon, so keep an eye out for it.
Regards,
Rock
