Patricia Arquette Teams with Satya Jewelry for Haitian Relief
NEW YORK, May 1, 2010 / FW/ — “Medium” star Patricia Arquette has teamed up with Satya Jewelry to offer a specially designed Hope, Love & Healing for Haiti necklace, donating 100% of the proceeds to Arquette’s charity, Give Love (www.givelove.org), which is supporting ongoing relief efforts in Haiti.
To help raise funds for Haiti, Satya designed a sterling silver triple pendant necklace – with hope and heart pendants, and a turquoise stone – strung to an 18-inch, silver chain. Turquoise is the stone of healing.
“The Hope, Love & Healing necklace is the perfect embodiment of what we are trying to bring to Haiti: Hope through safe and sustainable housing, sanitation solutions, and water filtration devises. Our long term hope is that we can create replicable models that can be used in underdeveloped area all over the world”, says Patricia Arquette.
To initiate this endeavor, the company donated $20,000 in March to Give Love through the Satya Foundation and will continue to raise money in the months to come.
100% of the proceeds from the Hope, Love & Healing for Haiti necklace will go toward Haitian relief via Give Love (www.givelove.org). The necklace costs $38 dollars and is available on the Satya Jewelry website, http://satyajewelry.com, and in all Satya jewelry stores.
