Susan Hanover Designs Joins (RED) and Creates Two New (PRODUCT)(RED) Bracelets for the Holiday Season
October 15, 2008 - Today, jewelry designer Susan Hanover, who is a native of South Africa, announced that she has joined (RED) and will release two unique (PRODUCT)RED bracelet designs just in time for the holiday season. Ms. Hanover's (PRODUCT)RED wrist cuffs and signature stone-wired bangles are priced at $125 and $68 respectively. They are available at select retailers and through
Susan Hanover Designs - Jewelry Designer, and 50% of the profits from each sale will go directly to the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.
"The beauty found throughout Africa has inspired my creations and its people have touched my heart," said Ms. Hanover. "It is humbling to be able to combine my work with doing something that can benefit my homeland."
The (PRODUCT)RED wrist cuff features two different colored stones; one a deep mahogany red, inspired by the Rooibos "red tea" grown in the Bush and consumed by several African tribes for its herbal remedies; and the other a vibrant fire red similar to the paint color that Ndembu warriors in Central Africa rub on themselves during celebrations as a symbol of life and health. The (PRODUCT)RED stone-wired bangle includes two red jade stones in round and oval shapes, set on an undulating wire which reflects the ocean waters surrounding Africa.
