So since I earlier shared with you all a piece of artwork that I found very beautiful for its design, it seems only right to share now a piece that I’ve recently discovered that is not only beautiful in design but in its cause as well.

Carolyn Rubenstein founded the Carolyn’s Compassionate Children (CCC) back in 1999 and its main purpose is to help childhood survivors of cancer. It began as a pen-pal program, hoping to imrpove their quality of life. Now it hopes to accomplish this by much greater means: donating scholarships to those survivors who wish to attend college. Because of constant care and finances that go into treatments for cancer, it can be difficult to get the money needed to receive higher education. So through Carolyn’s non-profit organization, she aims to help supply those survivors with the means of receiving that education.

Jess L.C. is a jewlery designer and a couple years ago she began a necklace line called Soc Chic. For this particular line, she partners with different organizations that support social causes, such as Carolyn’s. For Carolyn’s cause Jess designed the necklace featured above: a beautiful chrysanthemum. In Japanese, this flower symbolizes the sun and a hope for that after a dark night comes a brighter day.

I found this over at kind over matter, and I just had to share it as soon as I read it. A beautiful piece of art for a beautiful cause. If you are interested in Carolyn’s cause as well but don’t want to buy a necklace, you can donate at her website here.
