Every year in the United States, somewhere between two million and four million women are assaulted by their spouse or partner, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. This Saturday, June 7th, 2008 Safe Passage Home will host a luncheon event dedicated to celebrating restored lives and their commitment to providing abused women and their children a new and better life. During the event, Aspire© by Shea Curry, a moissanite jewelry collection exclusively available at Moissanite-Collection.com will be unveiled as well as a ring featured in this exclusive collection will be auctioned off with all proceeds donated to the charity. This event will kick off a life long commitment by Shea Curry to donate 10% of all future sales made on Moissanite-Collection.com of Aspire© moissanite jewelry to the Safe Passage Home Organization.
The new line will initially feature moissanite rings, pendants and earrings, but pieces will be added to the collection over time. “I was recently introduced to moissanite and was fascinated with the stone. I was looking for something unique to build a jewelry line around and once I learned more about moissanite, I knew this was the stone I wanted as the centerpiece of my first collection” says Shea Curry. “My goal is to create a signature moissanite piece specifically for Safe Passage, so I am working on that with Trish Steele the founder and CEO of the organization right now and I am just very excited about being a part of helping these women have a new and better life.”
The luncheon titled “Light Up a Life” will take place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills and feature celebrity guests Mario Lopez, “Dancing with the Stars” Nicholas and Lena Kosovich, Grammy Award Recording Artist Debby Boone, Winning Director Garry Marshall and Top Artist “Dilana” to name a few. During the event, two women who have been neglected and abused will reveal their life makeovers along with the cosmetic surgeons, dentists, doctors, counselors, fashion designers and others from the community that made the transformation possible. There will also be a fashion show, live and silent auction as well as several honorees awarded for their contributions to the organization.
The event takes place Saturday, June 7th at 11:30 am to 2:30 pm at the Four Seasons Hotel, 300 South Doheny Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90048.

About Aspire© by Shea Curry Exclusively at Moissanite-Collection.com
The new moissanite line Aspire© was developed by Shea Curry, a jewelry designer and actress with fifteen years on the stage and silver screen. She started out in New York Theatre before relocating to Hollywood where she has appeared in movies and on television including Georgia Rule, Malcolm in the Middle, Las Vegas, CSI Miamiand Hancock to be released later this year starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron. She also appeared in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and it was on this set that her career as a jewelry designer took shape. During the film’s production, she had many hours to sit in her trailer, so to pass the time she made jewelry for the cast and female crew. After receiving nice responses regarding her hand made pieces she decided to push forward with her own line. In April of 2007, Shea’s wedding was featured in In Style Weddings where her bridal party also all wore jewelry she had designed especially for the occasion.
