This leather and diamond bracelet designed by InStyle contributor Rachel Bilson not only looks good, it does good too! Last December, Bilson traveled to Botswana and South Africa to report on the improvements diamond mining has made in the lives of the people there. Wanting to do what she could to help, Bilson created this bracelet, sold exclusively through InStyle.com. It retails for $100, with $20 from each sale going to the non-profit Diamond Empowerment Fund (DEF). Money raised will help purchase additional student housing for the CIDA City Campus in Johannesburg, Africa’s first practically free university.

I was wondering if the quality of the bracelets designed by Rachel Bilson has improved? I would love to purchase a quality bracelet for my sister and I, who are both teachers that love to support education.

I purchased one of the last Rachel Bilson designed bracelets and am curious to know more about what you think of the charity it supports. If anyone has 5 minutes free, it would be great if you could fill out the survey below.
