The problem is that the husband in your example might have liked to donate to charity anyway. It would have to be something the husband doesn't give a shit about or even actively dislikes spending money on.
Also it's harder to show off reliably.
The ring is in many ways pretty good: It's always on your body, in direct view of your peers and it had absolutely no utility to the buyer except as a gift for the receiver.

For example restaurants like to show all kinds of diplomas on the wall at least around here. So she should pick the charity. I'm sure it's easy to find ones which the husband would not have donated to on their own. Classification societies already by the way have established ways to do development aid verification. http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=8719 http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary... On the other hand, just withdrawing the amount in cash and setting it on fire might cause less harm to the world than a blood diamond. What a bachelorette party... :)
