Piece of the Week: A Locket for Autism Acceptance Month
Monica Rich Kosann created the “Slim Heart” locket in partnership with model and philanthropist Jacquelyn Jablonski.
Monica Rich Kosann’s “Slim Heart” locket is available in silver as well as 18-karat yellow gold, as seen here and on model Jacquelyn Jablonski, right.
Monica Rich Kosann worked as a professional portrait photographer before she started her eponymous company, so it follows that her first jewelry collection consisted of lockets.
Today, her jewelry brand has expanded to include charms, rings, earrings, necklaces, and even tennis bracelets designed in partnership with tennis legend Chris Evert.
But lockets remain at the core of the Monica Rich Kosann DNA and this month, a special heart-shaped version of the “Slim” locket is doing good in the world.
Earlier this week, the brand introduced the “Slim Heart” locket created in partnership with model Jacquelyn Jablonski, founder and chairwoman of Autism Tomorrow.
Jablonski, whose brother Tommy is on the autism spectrum, started her foundation in 2016 to help create more opportunities for adults with autism to help them reach their potential and create a more inclusive society.
During the month of April, Monica Rich Kosann will donate 15 percent of all proceeds from sales of the Slim Heart locket to Autism Tomorrow.
The “MRK x Jacquelyn Jablonski x Autism Tomorrow Slim Heart” is available in 18-karat yellow gold for $6,875 or sterling silver for $645.
The lockets are available exclusively on the Monica Rich Kosann website.
