Supermodel Heidi Klum has teamed up with renowned international jewelry house, Mouawad, to co-design a dazzling line of fine jewelry.

Mouawad has long enjoyed a reputation as jeweler to the stars. Heidi and Mouawad first worked together at the 2001 Victoria's Secret fashion show, when she was chosen to model the $12.5 million Fantasy Bra, designed and jeweled by Mouawad. The company recognized Heidi's love of jewelry, and her passion for design and art was key in developing the concept for this collaborative effort.

Mouawad, The Heidi Klum Collection was inspired by one of Heidi's visits to Italy during which she was intrigued by a clover-patterned marble inlay at the Duomo in Milan. Heidi envisioned the use of the clover motif as an adornment piece and expressed her desire to incorporate this symbol into the design of a jewelry line. Hence, the Mouawad, Heidi Klum Collection was born.

The collection is designed for the fashion-conscious woman whose taste in jewelry is timeless and elegant, much like Heidi’s own style and beauty. The core collection consists of 35 pieces made from white and yellow gold, diamonds, sapphires, rubies, turquoise, coral and semi-precious stones as well as fashionable leather and silk cord. The clover remains a dominant theme of the collection. Pieces vary from classic everyday pendants to ornate necklaces and bracelets featuring interlocking pave clovers. The collection will be sold at fine jewelry retailers worldwide in September 2003. Prices range from $200 - $80,000.
