nternationally renowned jeweler and favored designer of
Hollywood, heads of state, and royalty alike, Robert Procop
has collaborated with actress and model Brooke Shields to
create a new jewelry line, Legacy.
Procop's rare talent combined with Shields' chic and contem-
porary fashion sense led them on a creative partnership that
links ancestry with artistry for a graceful and glamorous line
of jewels.
After an inspirational journey tracing her heritage through
royal French lineage, Shields called on these infl uences for
the collection. Pairing her favorite gemstones with French
accents like lattice detail and the use of traditional gems of
European royalty, the collection is a celebration of amethyst,
peridot, topaz and emerald with an old-world mystique.
Using the cabochon form, Procop sculpted the gemstones
into a unique sugarloaf design. The square angles set against
smooth cabochon curves create a sensual and modern shape
inspired by the original conical sugarloaves seen through the
ages in Europe and the Middle East. These details signify the
rich history the line is built upon.
Jewels sold from the collection will benefi t the House of Ruth
charity in Los Angeles, a transitional shelter and prevention
program for women and children to realize a fresh start after
a life of domestic violence.
