According to WWD Alicia Keys introduced a jewelry collection called The Barber’s Daughters at a temporary shop at Collette Blanchard Gallery at 26 Clinton Street in Lower Manhattan set to debut for the public and retailers fall 2010.

Keys worked 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.”

“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,” said Keys. “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' mission: “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.

The line of necklaces retail from $85 to $2,500 and found on the The Barber's Daughters. Check out a few pieces from the collection.
