A gold jewellery designer has launched a new product aimed at promoting environmental responsibility.

David Weitzman of Ka Gold Jewelry created the Mother Earth pendant in order to raise awareness of ecological issues.

To this end, proceeds from the gold item will go towards charities and other organisations that advocate environmental sustainability.

Mr Weitzman said of the piece: "The jewellery is a constant reminder to whoever wears it that he or she has the ability to influence the future of planet Earth."

Other Ka Gold Jewelry designs have featured a range of spiritual symbols, with the company stating that its products "mix sacred science, art and spirit".

Last week, Neunique announced that its Samsara range of jewellery, which includes a number of gold items, will be used to help a charity for women.

One-fifth of the proceeds are to be donated to New-York based Bottomless Closet, founder of Neunique Sophie Blake explained.
