Seriously, how on earth can you only choose 12 of these?! Maybe a collage for each month instead?

just WOW. i love this thread. so many beautiful baubles. the sfbay PA gtg shot with all the rings on luckyhonu's size 2 fingers is one of my all time favorites.

slammie, precious jewels and kd's are a few of my favorites. the funny thing is when i tried on slammie's set at toppers in bgame it did not look good on me at all. but fab on her.

Emeraldlover: You may use your photographers pics as long as you own the rights to them.

HopeDream: Absolutely! There will be a pure donation option available.

i would like to offer st. jude''s research hospital for children for consideration. it is my understanding that children are treated regardless of ability to pay. young children battling something so horrific as cancer breaks my heart and i feel this would be a good candidate for the project. thanks to ps admin and franky for doing something worthwhile.

i would like to withdrawn my suggestion as i did not read carefully enough and did not understand what was eligible. please accept my apology. all of the pictures are great. i am enjoying looking. thanks!

this is so cool!

Two items:

1) A ring pick from me!

2) Also, I will now make a cause recommdation:

Not perfect, but approaching pretty good, how about:

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

...which, as shown here, does accept donations from the public
and where some of its work in Africa can be seen here.

Some reasons:

- Gates has been sought after by other investors, notably Warren Buffet, who had been looking for a smart place to provide funds to, to provide benefit
- Africa is clearly a target population
- We might believe that funds are spent wisely

I might prefer to find a spot in Africa where donated funds go directly to benefit, say, education for miners or their families...but each opportunity (I've identified) seems to come with linkages which could be seen as objectionable.

I'll keep looking, but for now I do like this one!

Love this thread and the idea behind it. I think with the year we''ve had and so very many people out of work, we should focus on basic needs. I am nominating Second Harvest food bank.
