This year's Entertainment Tonight's Stars For A Cause auction is taking place on May 28 at Bonhams in Los Angeles. This unique fundraiser couples jewelry designer Robyn Rhodes with celebrities who designed the pieces which Rhodes handcrafts. The celebrities then wore their creations at major red carpet events such as the Golden Globes and Academy Awards before relinquishing the jewelry for the auction.

Kate Winslet made the necklace shown above and on the left in aid of the Prince's Trust (Prince Charles' charity). The designer used classic wire wrapping around the purple quartz broilette drops.

Other items are being contributed as well as autographed photos of the celebrities.
One of my favorites is the gold bib necklace designed by Alicia Keys using wire wrapping to connect rings and gorgeous smokey quartz drops. This necklace will go to the charity, Keep a Child Alive.

Also fun is Michelle Pfeiffer's howlite turquoise earrings with the leaf dangles. These are in aid of the American Cancer Society.

Miley Cyrus chose a vintage brass cuff design which Rhodes helped embellish with rose quartz, blue jade and a cloisonne bead. She certainly knows what she likes and hopefully the Libby Rose Foundation will benefit.

Some beautiful pieces there! I'd really be curious to see what they'd have come up with if the celebrities actually had to make them themselves. Maybe another day. But - what fun!
