Piece of the Week: Retrouvaí’s Ring for Charity
In the spirit of giving, Retrouvaí will donate $4,000 from the sale of this ring to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
The holiday season is a time for giving back and Retrouvaí is honoring this through a charitable initiative with its green sapphire and diamond “Heirloom” bezel ring.
The Los Angeles-based brand will be donating $4,000 from the sale of this one-of-a-kind ring.
The money will go to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, which supports more than 900,000 people in Los Angeles County every month, where one in four people face food insecurity.
The $4,000 donation will provide 16,000 meals to those in need.
“The holiday season is a time that evokes joy, but also an important time to think about community,” said Kirsty Stone, designer of Retrouvaí.
“We are hoping to support the efforts of the L.A. Regional Food Bank in providing for those in our own community who are facing food insecurity.”
The ring showcases a 15.31-carat unheated green sapphire flanked by heart-shaped diamond side stones totaling 2 carats. The three stones are all set in the brand’s signature Heirloom bezel in 18-karat yellow gold.
Three other pieces are also part of this initiative, including Retrouvaí’s “Heirloom” bezel charm with a cushion-cut diamond, the “Modern Love” ring with a round brilliant-cut diamond, and the petite “Lollipop” ring with an Asscher-cut diamond and black jade.
Retrouvaí will donate $4,000 from the sale of each of the four pieces for a possible total of $16,000.
The Piece of the Week ring has already been reserved by a client, marking Retrouvaí’s first contribution.
The initiative began on Thanksgiving and will run until all four pieces are sold.
Stone said that the brand is looking to continue a charitable holiday initiative every year.
The green sapphire “Heirloom” bezel ring retails for $78,480.
While the ring has already been reserved, the charm, Modern Love ring, and Lollipop ring in the initiative are still available on the Retrouvaí website.
