Following her appearance earlier in the morning on NBC’s Today Show, singer Alicia Keys, pictured above with designer Gisele Theriault, posed for pictures as she promoted Barber’s Daughters “Jewelry Experience” Tuesday (Nov 24) at the Collette Blanchard Gallery in New York City. Alicia co-created the necklaces she’s showing off in the photos.

“I fell in love with the individuality of the pieces, but more than that, the words that were written on them really resonated with the songwriter in me,” Alicia told Women’s Wear Daily about the designs, which feature precious metals and gems and are inscribed with inspirational messages.

In related news, Alicia Keys is set to perform on Britain’s hit talent competition TV series the “X Factor” this weekend so be on the look-out for that! Alicia’s new album The Element of Freedom drops December 15th and will feature collaborations from Drake and Beyonce.
