In 2008, we were approached by the Illinois Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America and asked if we would be interested in working with them. For those of you who may not be familiar with Lupus, it is an autoimmune disease. This means that one’s own immune systems attacks its cells and tissues believing that they are harmful foreign cells and tissue.

Lupus can effect many different parts of the body, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, nervous system, joints, and skin. Lupus is often unpredictable and can be very painful, with flare ups that cause skin irritation and tissue damage.

One of the common symptoms of Lupus is what is known as The Lupus Butterfly – a purple rash that develops across the nose and cheeks of those who have Lupus. In working with the Illinois Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America, we developed our own Lupus Butterfly; it is a 1/4ct diamond and amethyst butterfly pendant set in 14k white gold.

With every Lupus Butterfly Pendant we sell at SuperJeweler.com, we donate $60 to the Illinois Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America. This donation helps educate people about Lupus and provide support for those who endure the effects of Lupus every day.

We ask you to help us make a difference and get an adorable piece of amethyst gemstone jewelry at the same time. And if you love the Lupus Butterfly Pendant as much as we do, then you may also want to explore our other fine gemstone jewelry as well.
