Alicia Keys Launches Jewelry Line
By Allie | November 20, 2009
Alicia Keys will be launching her own jewelry line.
On Monday, the 12-time Grammy Award-winning songstress will introduce a jewelry collection called The Barber’s Daughters at a temporary shop at Collette Blanchard Gallery at 26 Clinton Street in Lower Manhattan.
The store will be open on Monday and Tuesday only to help generate buzz among the public and retailers for the brand’s fall 2010 launch.
Founded with jewelry designer Gisèle Theriault, the collection is comprised of sterling silver and gemstone pieces, each inscribed with poetry and prayers of Masaru Emoto, the author of “The Hidden Messages in Water.”
Keys met Theriault through her bandmates, who were buying her jewelry backstage at her shows. Having always been interested in designing accessories, Keys was intrigued by what she saw.
“I fell in love with the individuality of the pieces, but more than that, the words that were written on them really resonated with the songwriter in me. I knew at that moment, for the first time, that through a whole other medium I would be able to spread inspiration and that’s what got me started.”
Keys said her mission is “to give people beautiful, unique pieces with messages that ignite them to find the best within” and that she has long wanted to get involved in accessories.
“Jewelry is a great first step,” said Keys, who recently started AK Worldwide, a company that will focus on her nonmusical endeavors. “I think accessories are exceptional, because it is a simple way for people to express their own style.”
I really like the styles, I think we’ll have to make a purchase!
