As part of my goal to raise funds for Rikki's Refuge, as well as to prepare for the upcoming pageant competition season, I am holding an auction to benefit Rikki's which will donate 10% of any proceeds via eBay's MissionFish program.
If you are a Titanic fan and interested, please visit my eBay auction for the authentic J. Peterman 1998 "Heart Of The Ocean" designed necklace from the movie. A VERY limited number of this Fox-authorized replica of Roses' necklace were released in 1998 and these will become rarer as the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic takes place next year in 2012. Definitely a unique conversation piece for any pageant queen to own...and it was worn by Mrs United States 1998 Michele Berck actually when she won...see picture below!
Please note 10% of the final auction proceeds will be automatically donated via eBay to benefit Rikki's Refuge of Orange, VA, a no kill rescue shelter. Listing can be found under item #230577185644 or under description J. Peterman Heart of the Ocean Titanic Necklace. Good luck!
Here is the lovely Michelle in her winning gown wearing one of these special necklaces when they were first released in 1998!
