Christie\u2019s second annual Bid to Save the Earth <\/a>auction wrapped up last week earning a whopping $2.4 million for the environment.<\/p>\n

Bid to Save the Earth actively works to raise environmental awareness and support a healthier planet. Proceeds from the auction go to world-leading, science-based environmental nonprofits; Conservation International, Oceana, Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and The Central Park Conservancy.<\/p>\n

The Green Auction raised $1.4 million on March 29th at a star-studded live auction which took place at NYC\u2019s Rockefeller Center. Christie\u2019s partnered with Charitybuzz.com in an online auction through Arpil 7th which brought in an additional $750,000.<\/p>\n

The live auction drew a collection of collectors, philanthropists, celebrities, and designers for an \u201cover-the-top\u201d evening of fashion, entertainment, and auctioning off of magnificent items. Among the incredible items auctioned were a one-hour tennis lesson with John McEnroe which went for $26,000, and a day with former President Bill Clinton which raised $100,000.<\/p>\n

High fashion also had a large presence at the auction, with a green fashion show debuting Fall 2011 designs from famous designers world-wide. Among them was luxury eco jewelry brand, John Hardy, who donated the brilliant Hijau Cinta Cuff<\/a>. The stunning piece is made of 18K gold with an exquisite green peridot stone encircled by diamonds and featuring a diamond dragonfly (see photo above). The cuff retails at $40,000.<\/p>\n

Guy Bedarida, Creative Director and Head Designer of John Hardy, continues his support with the Bamboo bracelet. Designed with his muse, model and environmentalist Angela Lindvall, the bracelet is a delicate recycled silver ring on organic cotton cord — lovely in its simplicity. You can purchase the Bamboo bracelet <\/a>at the John Hardy Online Boutique for $65, and they will ship it to you in their 100% recycled and recyclable anti-tarnish envelope. All net proceeds from the sale of the bracelets are donated to the NRDC.<\/p>\n

Now that is the perfect Mother\u2019s Day gift\u2026something for Mom and<\/em> Mother Earth.<\/p>\n
