Buddha Bling

Let’s play 20 questions.
We’re thinking of something that’s smaller than a breadbox and a lot more meaningful; blue as Brad Pitt’s eyes, but gazing into it leaves you feeling more peaceful; and has been worn by James Durbin, Demi Lovato, Ashley Simpson Wentz, and the Milkshake team. Go!
What? Did you say, “Jewelry for a Cause’s Blue Buddha necklace”? How’d you get that on the first guess?
You must have been sitting in varada mudra, the pose of charity and compassion, like the blue Buddha, himself. Or maybe you asked the universe to guide you toward an affordable piece of jewelry, the purchase of which supports a fantastic cause. (When you purchase the Blue Buddha for just $28, 25% of the proceeds go directly to DoSomething.org.)
Well, here’s something you probably didn’t guess: Jessica Mindich, who founded Jewelry for a Cause in December of 2008 recently collaborated with Maria Shriver to take the Buddha into a more extravagant pose - The Diamond Buddha! The pendant, rimmed with diamonds set in sterling silver, is pricier at $975. But 30% of each sale is donated to the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of Shriver’s father, who suffered from the disease for eight years before passing away in January.
And as if supporting a worthy cause weren’t enough, Milkshake readers will receive 10% off the purchase of a Diamond Buddha with the code MILKSHAKE at jewelryforacause.net.
Now go back to meditating in varada mudra. Wearing your new Diamond Buddha necklace, you can ask the universe the rest of your 19 questions.
