Your broken or unwanted jewellery can be put to a good cause, find out how right here...

This week the charity Marie Curie Cancer Care has launched a national jewellery recycling scheme in partnership with the floral fashion store Laura Ashley 

They want you to donate your unwanted and broken jewellery in a national recycling scheme in which all profits will go to Marie Curie.

Donations of any unwanted or damaged gold, silver or costume jewellery and watches are needed. Items such as odd earrings, snapped chains, and broken watches will be recycled.

The scheme will run from May to the end of July 2008. Donations can be made in all Laura Ashley stores, and also in Marie Curie Cancer Care Shops.
