In collaboration with Robert Rose Jewelry, R&B legend Gladys Knight has created an eco-friendly line of jewelry called The Gladys Knight Jewelry Line. Combining social activism with a love for style, Ms. Knight's line will include recycled glass, fair trade beads, and parts made from Tagua nuts (a sustainable rainforest crop often referred to as vegetable ivory.)
Taking it a step further, Ms. Knight states: "My team and I were impressed with Gary Rose, CEO, Robert Rose Jewelry, and its family oriented organization as well as their mission to provide quality jewelry for the working woman and appeal to those who are just fashion forward. I am excited to work with a company that shares our ideas of creating natural products that are not only environmentally friendly, but also creates jobs. The affordable prices of the new line, along with quality and attention to family, is an unbeatable combination. I thank the Rose family for this opportunity."
“It's any designer's dream come true to have a store on a main street, whether it's here, in Paris on Faubourg or Avenue Montaigne, or on London's Bond Street.”
