Alicia Keys designing jewelry line

Singing sensation Alicia Keys is designing her own handmade jewelry line called The Barber’s Daughters.

The jewelry will feature an engraved message of hope and is part of her new company AK Worldwide, which is responsible for all of Alicia’s side projects (aka money makers) that aren’t associated with her music.

I can’t wait to see the design…Alicia is a classic beauty and I think her jewelry line will keep that image.
