Coco Rocha Launches Jewelry Line for a Cause
COCO'S CREATIONS: Coco Rocha is getting in the jewelry and charity business.A collection produced together with Senhoa, an organization helping Cambodian victims of human trafficking. After receiving a piece made by the women of Senhoa on her wedding day in June 2010, Rocha said she was inspired to get involved. “They asked if I wanted to partner up with them to do a jewelry line. I designed it and the girls make it and the proceeds go to the girls,” said Rocha.
The pieces are made by hand at Senhoa and beaded with clear, black and multicolored Swarovski Elements and made in a distinct chain-link of silver and gunmetal. Comprised of seven styles — two pairs of earrings, two bracelets, one necklace and two body pieces — the collection ranges from $60 to $195, with the exception of one body piece that retails for $995.
Rocha added: “We’re naming the pieces after some of the girls in the camp — and some familiar Cambodian names.”Proceeds from the sale of each piece go directly to fund Senhoa's community development projects, which provide income-generating opportunities, and aid in the rescue, rehabilitation, and education of young women in South East Asia.
