Melania Trump Claims Her $245 Necklaces Will Help Raise Money For Foster Children

Melania Trump's new jewelry venture will honor mothers and raise funds for charity. The new line is named "Her Love & Gratitude" and already has a customizable necklace ready for sale.

According to reports, the former first lady will donate a portion of the sales income to sponsor education opportunities and scholarships for foster care children. In the wake of launching the line, it has received criticism from several social media users.

According to Fox News, Melania Trump has a humanitarian purpose behind launching her new jewelry line.

The business venture will honor mothers in line with the narrative of the upcoming Mother's Day celebration. It will also be used as a tool to raise funds for education opportunities and scholarships for foster care children as part of the former first lady's "Fostering the Future" initiative.

One of the products that will go on sale is a customizable necklace that can be engraved with names, initials, or memorable dates tailored to the buyer.

It features a flower pendant on an adjustable chain made from gold vermeil and will cost $245 for any prospective buyer.

In addition to the necklace, buyers will also get an extra gift as part of their purchase. This gift is said to be a limited edition digital collectible.

Speaking with the news outlet, Melania discussed the importance of motherhood, saying, "Mothers are the cornerstone of a flourishing society."

She added, "Motherhood exists as the bedrock of the American family, and mothers tend to wear several hats: emotional support, inspirational growth, health, love, humor, education, and more."

The Slovenian-born former model also emphasized that mothers taking care of themselves will lead to more benefits for the family.

"When moms are healthy, our communities are too," Melania remarked. "As mothers, we are inclined to honor our mothers and mother figures on Mother's Day, but we must also be mindful of ourselves."

The mother of one continued, "It may be difficult to imagine, but when moms prioritize self-care, our families and children enjoy greater stability."

She also mentioned that, through their actions, they "can institute a sense of unity, respect, and calm across the next generation."

Despite Melania's enthusiasm about launching the new jewelry line, its launch hasn't gone down well with social media netizens.

She recently got criticized online after posting an image of the customizable necklace on her X (formerly Twitter) page with the caption, "Let's honor and celebrate all mothers with love and gratitude."

One person said, "This is worth about $6," to which another user replied, "You are generous. I'm guessing 75 cents and that's if you get the correct one out of the gumball machine."

A second user said, "$250 for vermeil? Are you kidding me? And why is your signature so huge…it's larger than the engravings for our loved ones? Heck, you really think highly of yourself if you think we'd want your signature to be larger than the names of our children. Grifters gonna grift, I guess?"

Another person commented, "Repurposed St. Patrick's Day pendants made from cheap metal," while someone else wrote, "Absolute trash grift, not surprised from someone who 'doesn't really care.'"

Meanwhile, Melania has yet to make an appearance at her husband, Donald Trump's hush money trial.

This has caused many to speculate that the former model was leaving her husband to face his trouble alone. However, a source close to the couple has claimed that this is not the case and that Melania is "there for him."

"She's not going anywhere. She's there for him," a source told the DailyMail. "They're going through it together. She's been the rock of the family."

In addition to missing the court sessions for the trial, Melania has missed most of her husband's camping rallies.

Following her long absence from her husband's campaign trail, Melania made her return to politics by hosting Log Cabin Republicans at an intimate fundraiser held at her Mar-a-Lago residence.

The event, which was located at the Tea Room of the private Palm Beach Club, hosted around 60 guests, with Bill White and Bryan Eure serving as co-hosts.

Celebrities in attendance included Dr. Mehmet Oz, Caitlyn Jenner, Elizabeth Ailes, and some GOP bigwigs.

Ticket prices for the event reportedly went as high as $50,000, with the proceeds being earmarked for Trump and other Republican party candidates' 2024 election bids.

A source told Page Six that the event was "raising funds to inform voters in crucial swing states about President Trump's LGBT record and his goals for his second term."

An attendee shared that "[Richard] Grenell unveiled [Melania's] leadership role in what will be an unprecedented outreach initiative to gay and lesbian voters… the most significant of any Republican presidential candidate in American history."
