Five charities to benefit from auction of artisans' contemporary jewellery pieces

After raising over HK$20,000 for the Nhat Hong orphanage in Vietnam last December, Anna Cheng of AME Gallery started online charity Jewels For Good - auctioning off an artisan's contemporary jewellery piece from her gallery to benefit a charity each month.

The five pieces comprise a Karolina Bik tickle necklace, a Mei Lee brooch adorned with a natural baroque pearl, Moya's drop earrings in yellow gold and black diamonds, Salima Thakker's flower earrings in yellow gold and diamonds, and a Tricia Tang set of two bangles.

"It offers me a means to introduce different artists to the public and we donate the proceeds to the cause each designer supports," said Cheng.

"For instance, Karolina Bik would like to donate to a charity that has something to do with animal protection, that's why I chose Hong Kong Dog Rescue for her which she happily agreed."

The other charities are The Jane Goodall Institute, Music for the Growing Mind, Mother's Choice and Art in Hospital.
