In an effort to find the perfect couples’ gift for Elton John and David Furnish, Sharon Stone took matters into her own hands and designed custom rings for the duo. The results, made in conjunction with Italian jeweler Damiani—a gold eternity band bedecked with 2 carat rough diamonds for John, a silver eternity ring with 5 carat diamonds for Furnish—inspired a just-unveiled collection called “Maji” (which means “water” in Swahili) that also includes pendants, earrings, and bracelets. The for-charity pieces (proceeds benefit an organization called “A Drop In A Bucket”, which builds water wells in Africa) are done in burnished metals with raw diamonds for a masculine, undone look, and each one is signed by the actress. At their new London boutique, Damiani’s Vice President, Silvia Damiani, told PEOPLE more about the collaboration with Stone, “This collection, which will be launching this Christmas with a men’s range, was her idea. It took four years to develop. The idea came about as Sharon has a lot of friends in the gay community and she also wanted to give something special to her friends Elton John and his partner David Furnish.” Damiani continues, “I really like the way Sharon thinks,” she said. “She sees things in a different perspective and has a very clear vision in her mind. She had a lot of input in this as she is very creative. The whole thing was her concept.” See the full collection at Damiani.com. –reporting by Dimi Gaidatzi
