November marks the annual Poppy Appeal where poppy brooches are sold by The Royal British Legion to support the British Armed Forces past & present and their families. I always make sure I buy a brooch (even though I always end up losing them!) because the charity is such an important one. We wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the sacrifices our troops have made. This year Jon Richard have designed a gorgeous bejewelled poppy cocktail ring so you can do your bit for charity & look good at the same time.
I think the ring is absolutely beautiful & it's the kind of jewellery I would wear regardless of it's charitable connotations. It features red & dark ruby crystals on the petals and a jet crystal in the middle. The ring has an adjustable band so it can fit everyone. It also comes presented in this lovely gift box so I'm sure many people would appreciate receiving this as a present. Pair it with your favourite red polish (I'm wearing MAC Kid Orange) for matching glam nails and show everyone that you wear your poppy with pride.
You can buy one of these rings from Debenhams or the Jon Richard online store. Each ring retails at £12 with £3.60 of proceeds being donated to charity. They're a much better option if, like me, your brooch always falls off your coat never to be seen again. Will you be buying one of these this November?

super important cause for me, and it's a mental time of year with T being involved in various Remembrance events across London over the next 5 days. I have a pin, a bracelet, a paper poppy and am still deciding on whether to get the ring or not- it doesn't do to not be seen with something with the events we go to at this time of year. I think the more lasting products are really good, and the British Legion shop have done an awesome job online this year.
ReplyDeleteI think these are so beautiful and I know a few people who would absolutely love one & it would mean a lot so I think I'm going to buy a couple this year! <3

These are beautiful & the Poppy Appeal is very close to my heart, being a Forces Child. I think these will appeal to the younger generation. I will be purchasing one alongside my regular paper poppy

Ahhh this is soooooo beautiful! I think something like this is so much better than a battered paper poppy people don't care about. This is soooo stunning, and I love it! xx

Only £.3.60 to the appeal?! If you buy from the poppy shop (http://www.poppyshop.org.uk/?gclid=CNK8hZ__1LoCFY7HtAodyl8AbA) 100% goes to the British Legion.
