Made from 18K yellow gold highlighting a textured pattern with a diamond center stone. Current total donated to Everytown for Gun Safety : $41,340! A collective total for all Charity Heart donations: $377,222! Harwell Godfrey is proud to present its newest Charity Heart in support of Everytown For Gun Safety , the largest gun violence prevention organization in America. The 18k gold pendant is hand-engraved around the diamond stone to suggest the reverberations of a gunshot. "Gun safety is a critical issue in America and firearms are now the leading cause of death for children in this country," says designer Lauren Harwell Godfrey. "As a mother and an American citizen I feel compelled to do what I can to help fight the gun lobby and be a part of this important fight, and that's why I created this special diamond pendant as the 6th initiative in my Charity Heart Series to support the work of Everytown for Gun Safety ." With a deep commitment to social causes, Lauren Harwell Godfrey launched her Charity Heart series in 2020, donating 100% of proceeds to personally significant nonprofit organizations including NAACP, Futures Without Violence, Human Rights Campaign, Every Mother Counts and World Central Kitchen. The first pendant, created in support of World Central Kitchen at the onset of COVID, was envisioned as a healing talisman and has an malachite heart at its core. As Godfrey sketched the design, she realized that her signature triangle motif placed over the heart in repetition created what looks like a broken heart that has been put back together. Each heart comes with a bail that opens and can clip on to any of the the brand's signature Foundation chains. The bail has two bars creating an equal symbol as a gesture of the unity we can achieve when we help each other. The single diamond was sustainably and ethically discovered by DeBeers through Code of Origin, its trusted source program. Charity Hearts are owned and worn by luminaries including Vice President Kamala Harris, Cynthia Erivo and Hilary Swank. Each additional heart in the collection features gemstones representative of the charity it supports. Made to order. The current lead time is 8-10 weeks.
