Blige and Smith, the wife of rapper LL Cool J., announced the line during the 2018 Essence Festival in New Orleans on July 6 and premiered their “Queen Hoop Earrings” priced at $199, according to the singer’s website.
The singer said the jewelry collection represents support and empowerment. She explained that she and Smith helped each other through some hard times and it was important for them to stress this message to their audience.
“We are working together with this collaboration to celebrate our friendship and successes and empower others from our strength of supporting each other,” Blige said in a press release.
“What made me want to work with Simone is she already created an amazingly successful jewellry line and all the pieces are things that I love, and she also has an amazing fashion sense,” said Blige via press release. “I wanted to add to that by sharing some of my fashion sense with her and creating some things I dream about and I know other women are dreaming about.”
We cannot wait to see what they have for us.
