Harlequin Fantasy Bra
At European Goldsmith we cater to pretty specific group of people. That group being…well…women! And what do all woman have in common? Other than the fact we like a nice little piece of bling on our fingers, we all have boobies! Yes boobies! A.K.A breasts, headlights, hooters, jugs, mammaries, the rack, the twins, and about a million more. We have all got them! Whether we keep them hidden and out of sight, or choose to flaunt them, we have all got them.
So why mention the obvious? It’s not like the jewellery world has come up with the hippest breast jewellery a girl could ask for. Except for Victoria Secret of course who showcased the ‘Harlequin Fantasy Bra’ in 2009, adorned with nearly 150 carats of diamonds and valued at $3 million. No, we mention it because October is quickly approaching and October is a month all women- and men – should be very aware of. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women. And it is the second leading cause of death from cancer in Canadian women. Nearly everyone in Canada knows a person who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, whether it is a friend of a friend, a friend, a sister, a mother, a daughter, or a wife. We all know or have known someone who has had to battle with this disease.The Breast Cancer Society of Canada believes that every dollar Canadians donate to breast cancer research brings us one step closer to discovering the cause of breast cancer, better methods to prevent and detect it, treatments that are more effective and improving the quality of life for survivors.
And so do we at European Goldsmith.
We believe that our donations do make a difference. We want to make a difference, and we know that we can. 2013 is the launching year for our new BLING FOR BOOBIES campaign. That’s why $50.00from every piece of pink gold jewellery sold at European Goldsmith for the month of October will be donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. AND, as well as anyone who purchases a piece of pink gold jewellery will be entered to win a 10K Pink Gold and diamond Pink Ribbon pendant values at $250.00! Get it….BLING for BOOBIES!
