Even the actress and model Brooke Shields launches her own brand of jewelry and has partnered with Robert Procop, the American high jewelry designer and gem-expert, worldwide known for its precious one of a kind jewels. The result of the collaboration is Legacy Brooke, a collection of statement central gems with vivid colors and unusual cabochon shape, the sugarloaf cut: four facets with rounded cabochon edges. Amethyst, peridot, topaz and emerald are set in white or pink gold in a palette ranging from violet, green and aqua blue. Proceeds from sales will benefit an association that deals with victims of domestic violence the House of Ruth, also supported precisely by Shields and Procop. Actually, this is not the only philanthropic work of jeweler who for some years has been committed with the Style of Jolie collection named by the actress, director and UN ambassador Angelina Jolie, whose sales proceeds are used to build schools for girls in poor countries. Brooke Shields has confessed that she had always wanted to learn the jewelery’s techniques and that the initiative of her colleague was the final push. The aesthetic inspiration, however, is completely different and takes the shape of antique jewelry, not coincidentally the name legacy but also in that of the protagonist of Blue Lagoon seems that father’s side can claim a distant degree of kinship with Luigi XIV. While the typical lattice work of the rings is Procop’s signature.
