Countdown to launch...

The Gladys Knight Jewelry Collection is hours away from launching on-line shopping and at The Essence Music Festival Marketplace Expo.

Meet Gladys Knight at The Marketplace booth Fri. July 2nd from 4:00-5:00pm.

Combining fashion with an effort of social consciousness, the new collection includes handcrafted beads produced by West African artisans and cooperatives, as well as semi-precious elements. A portion of the sales from the Gladys Knight Jewelry Collection will go directly back to the Kumasi Women's Cooperative in Ghana, which will be supplying some of the beads.

"My jewelry is an extension of my music which is an extension of my heart and soul. To have this opportunity to employ workers in Ghana and create jewelry that is environmentally friendly while at the same time affordable, is a dream come true!" expresses Gladys Knight.
