Alicia Keys gets shiny things out

Alicia Keys is set to unveil her new jewellery collection later this month.

The Grammy Award winning soul singer is set to launch a selection of The Barber’s Daughters range of silver and gold accessories at a two-day exhibition in New York on November 23 and 24.

The items on display are handmade by Alicia’s co-designer Gisele Theriault, who inscribes each piece with an inspiring message. One necklace in the collection bears a message from both Alicia and Gisele. Gisele’s reads, “Our deepest wealth lives within the heart. To truly live it is to give it,” while Alicia’s note says, “Always shine your light on the world.”

The jewellery range is the first venture of Alicia’ new company AK Worldwide, which will manage all her non-music related projects. Alicia and Gisele will launch their first full collection early next year. The 29-year-old star is also due to release her new album The Element of Freedom next month.
