Charlize Theron's AIDS Project To Benefit From Auction

Fresh from her appointment as a UN Messenger of Peace, actress Charlize Theron has announced that a beautiful new piece of jewelry will go under the hammer next year to benefit her African Outreach Program.

Italian jeweller Breil – who the actress turned to after an out-of-court settlement with Raymond Weil – will auction off a white gold 27.93-carat champagne diamond pave Breil Milano Battio heart pendant next year. Raymond Weil sued Theron in February 2007 and alleged she broke an exclusivity agreement by wearing other companies’ watches during her contract.

The Charlize Theron African Outreach Project works to better the lives of impoverished families and children living in Theron’s native South Africa, especially those touched by HIV/AIDS.

More information about the auction will be announced early next year.
