This delicate 14k gold-plated necklace from Benevolence LA is a sweet and affordable choice for a special someone.

Every $240 donated puts a girl through school for an entire year!
Each product sold by Benevolence LA donates money to a different charity, so if a necklace isn’t what you’re looking for, be sure to browse their other offerings.
