JewelryNetwork.com, the largest online commercial retailer of fine, affordable jewelry, has created a unique version of the symbol of hope. The Ribbon of Hope pin was specially commissioned to benefit breast cancer research conducted at City of Hope. Ten percent of all proceeds from the sale of the pins will support the Cancer Center's ongoing efforts to fight breast cancer on all fronts including research, prevention, early diagnosis and ultimately finding a cure.

The pin, which was designed by Jewelrynetwork.com president Zvi Sharaby, will be sold for $27.95 in sterling silver, for $44.95 in 10k yellow gold and for $49.00 in 14k yellow gold and is adorned by 17 gorgeous pink simulated diamonds. Consumers can purchase the pin online at www.jewelrynetwork.com or by calling 800-791-9998.

"We wanted to raise our customers' awareness about breast cancer and to support City of Hope's commitment to eradicating this devastating disease," says Sharaby. "Selling a fine jewelry version of the well-known pink ribbon pin seemed like a new way to support the landmark research and innovative treatments conducted at City of Hope."

"Breast Cancer affects nearly 2.6 million women in the United States and half of those affected don't even know they have this disease," says Mary Beth Fleck, director of Development at City of Hope. "Increasing awareness, encouraging early detection and raising research funds through our creative partnerships with companies such as JewerlyNetwork.com is vital to City of Hope's fight against this disease."
