The pendants are available in seven styles, featuring black and white diamonds set in yellow and white gold or sterling silver, and range in price from around $300 to $5,000.
Sales of the collection will benefit Mahomes’ charitable foundation, “15 and the Mahomies,” which supports 15 youth charities.
Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from the jewelry line will go to the charity, a Helzberg Diamonds spokesperson confirmed to National Jeweler Wednesday.
The foundation focuses on initiatives such as academics, science, the arts, classroom supplies, athletics, children with disabilities, after-school programs and other areas.
Helzberg Chief Marketing Officer Ellen Junger described the athlete as “an outstanding role model on and off the field.”
“With our shared hometown and values, I can’t imagine a better fit for our brand than Patrick,” Junger said in a press release.
The Patrick Mahomes Collection is available in Kansas City-area Helzberg Diamonds locations or online.
