Reese Witherspoon unveiled the latest edition to Avon's Women's Empowerment jewelry collection while in Washington, D.C.to speak before the State Department on Wednesday.

The Women's Empowerment Ring is a companion piece to the previously released Women's Empowerment Bracelet (2008) and the Women's Empowerment Necklace (2009), which serve as fundraising products to support initiatives to end violence against women.

The ring connects great style at a great price to a great cause. Priced at just $5, 100% of the net profits ($3.80) go to domestic violence programs. Since the program's founding in 2008, more than $8 million has been raised to fund programs to help stop violence in 50 countries.

A great go-to accessory, the timeless silver-tone ring features an infinity symbol, representing a future without limitations for all women.

Witherspoon, Avon's global ambassador and honorary chairperson of the Avon Foundation for Women, wore the ring on her left index finger as she spoke before the State Department at a breakfast meeting discussing a new partnership between Avon, Vital Voices and the State Department called The Global Partnership to End Violence Against Women.

The actress later posed for pictures wearing the ring against the backdrop of the capital's landscape.

The ring, along with the necklace and bracelet from years past, are currently sold on the company's website and by Avon representatives in over 45 countries world wide.
