Photographer Anne Geddes Partners with HSN
Her new collection features 18 pieces of sterling silver jewelry with freshwater cultured pearls and bezel-set diamonds.
St. Petersburg, Fla.--Photographer Anne Geddes, famed for her creative portraits of sleeping infants, has turned to a new medium with the launch of a jewelry line on the Home Shopping Network.
“Anne Geddes Protect Nurture Love” is a collection of sterling silver jewelry with freshwater cultured pearls and bezel-set diamonds.
The 18-piece line is now being offered across HSN’s many shopping platforms, including its website and mobile channels, with Geddes appearing on HSN Tuesday.
The range starts at $89.95 for a sterling silver and pearl pendant and tops off at $399.95 for a limited edition piece that incorporates 14-karat gold and comes with an autographed copy of Geddes’ coffee-table book “Small World.”
“Throughout my career, I have strived to capture the beauty, purity and vulnerability of children,” Geddes said. “I have always wanted to translate my inspiration and message into wearable art, and I knew that this partnership with HSN was the perfect opportunity to do so. We’ve created a stunning collection that is both beautiful and meaningful, and I’m excited to share these pieces with those who share this appreciation of motherhood.
HSN Chief Merchandising Officer Carmen Bauza said, “HSN is honored to be partnering with such an iconic artist to inspire a unique and meaningful jewelry line. Anne is an amazing artist and advocate for children, and we are thrilled to be offering her beautiful and thoughtful designs to women everywhere.”
The HSN and Anne Geddes partnership was facilitated by SHR Jewelry Group, which has expertise in brand building, product development and licensing.
