Giving moissanite a royal seal of approval, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, has signed an exclusive jewelry licensing agreement with K&G Creations. The Duchess will partner with the company to create a collection of unique jewelry designs featuring Charles & Colvard created moissanite.
The initial signature collection will debut in the second quarter of 2006. The vintage inspired collection, “Sarah Ferguson for K&G Creations,” will consist of rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets set with moissanite. All of the Duchess' net proceeds from the K&G collection will be donated to the “Sarah Ferguson Foundation for Children”.
“I'm excited about moissanite, because it means that every woman can now own the jewelry of their dreams. K&G Creations' reputation for the highest quality in fine jewelry presents a wonderful opportunity to collaborate in bringing this exquisite jewel to all women,” said the Duchess in a release.
The Sarah Ferguson for K&G Creations signature line will be sold exclusively at stores operated by Finlay Fine Jewelry, including Macy's, Lord & Taylor, Marshall Fields, Belk's and others.
In addition to working with K&G Creations to develop her signature lines, the Duchess will also be a spokesperson for K&G's moissanite jewelry and make in-store appearances to support the launch of the partnership.
“The Duchess of York's strength, independence, beauty and elegance make her the ideal person to be the voice and face of K&G Creations' line of moissanite fine jewelry. I believe her universal appeal to women everywhere will propel moissanite into mainstream
