This new Hearts On Fire® Copley ring, with a 1.742 ct diamond and 0.66 ctw diamonds, has a bold design that is perfect for a woman who loves making a statement.

Price: $29,925 Give her the ring of her dreams with this new Hearts On Fire® Transcend Dream with a 0.510 ct Dream center diamond encircled with 0.75 ctw Dream and round brilliant cut diamonds. Price: $7,900

As light enters the diamond, it descends downward into the pavillion. A standard diamond with an inferior cut leaks light from the bottom and sides. Too deep or too shallow a cut, and the light that gives a diamond its brilliance is lost.

However, because of its perfectly symmetrical cut and increased surface area, a Hearts On Fire® diamond captures that light and reflects it from the top, creating maximum brilliance and fire.

Every child deserves a chance at a better life.

a. b.

From now through Christmas, we’ll be fundraising for Corazon de Vida (Heart of Life), a local non-profit that supports 12 orphanages in Baja Mexico. Mexico does not have a foster care system to support children in need due to neglect, abuse, or abandonment. There is no welfare system to help a single parent that is unable to provide for their children. So the network of orphanages is the only hope for these children who have nowhere else to go to be safe, fed, and get an education. The Mexican government does not support the orphanages, so they must rely on donations to sustain the kids and help pay the bills.

Help us give to the little angels of Corazon de Vida! Donate online and CDV will use the money where it’s most desperately needed. Or bring in a donation of: school supplies, toiletries, kitchen and home cleaning supplies, undergarments, and the like to any of our San Diego County locations. See http://www.corazondevida.org/cdv-volunteer/wishlist for specific needs.
