Even though Beladora is based in Beverly Hills, we are not a Beverly Hills - centric company.
Because our business is online, our clients are from
Brazil, Mexico, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, England, Canada, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia...
and I probably missed a few other countries.
We are deeply concerned about the situation in Japan.
Liz Kollar, our Beladora Creative Director has aunts, uncles and cousins who are Japanese, and who thankfully were out of the major quake/tsunami zone. Because of her family, Liz is in the loop on a lot of what's going on the there and we do know that it is winter, supplies are low, and things are bad all over Japan.
I have already made a donation personally towards the relief efforts in Japan.
But I can do more than just make a personal donation.
So, I've decided that Beladora.com and Beladora2.com,
which have donated to causes such as ovarian cancer research in the past,
will now donate a portion of all March sales to the
American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief Fund.
Maybe you have a birthday or anniversary coming up.
Maybe you need a special gift.
Maybe you want to start early on your holiday shopping.
Or maybe you've have a piece of estate jewelry on your Beladora wish list.
With jewelry priced at $195 and up, there is probably something that you could use.
Please consider making a purchase from Beladora or Beladora2 this month.

Around Town - The Beverly Hills Women's Club 85th Anniversary Gala
It probably wouldn't surprise you that I'm a big believer in community based organizations, like The Beverly Hills Women's Club.
Yes, I know the very idea of a 'women's club' is indeed old fashioned, bringing to mind afternoon tea and bridge. Well yes the BHWC is a bit old fashioned and proud of it's nearly 100 year old heritage.
And yes there really are teas and bridge and book clubs and mahjong and cotillion. But there are also, lectures and concerts and private tours and cooking classes.
Most importantly, the club also supports children in need by providing such things as school supplies to kids in a local homeless shelter and sponsoring events for Aviva Family and Children's Services which works with abused and neglected children.
This year was the 85th anniversary of the actual club house, built in 1925 by noted architects Gable and Lyons. Over the last five years, under the leadership of club president Claudia Deutsch, the building has been carefully restored, with respect to the architectural heritage. Hopefully the club will continue to be a thriving part of the community with ongoing philanthropic service for another 85 years.
And I dressed up complete with partial up-do and other fripperies....but alas, no diamond brooch in my hair.
So here's the look...dark navy blue taffeta dress, navy blue satin shoes, sapphire and diamond estate jewelry, a mink coat (vintage) and a happy disposition.
Yes, I know...not the most attractive of photos, but that was the best that I could do with my iphone.
But I was especially happy with the Fred Leighton diamond bow brooch.
Yes, I'm posing in front of my bicycle which is parked in front a painting.
I know, awesome decorating skillz.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
