Besides the many other projects that the pop diva gets involved into, Madonna seems to have also coquetted with jewelry design, as she teamed up with the famous company Chopard to create the diamond "M-dolla" knuckle ring and Happy Diamonds cross she wears on the cover of her new and much-hyped album "Hard Candy", which will be released on April 28. However, she is not considering this as a career, but merely a hobby, conditioned by her performing demands.
Chopard co-president Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele designed the ring under Madonna's guidance. The piece spells out "M-dolla" in 258 brilliant cut white diamonds with a Chopard signature mobile diamond in the flourish of the letter M. However, this is not the first time that the Swiss jeweler and watchmaker collaborates with the singer, as it has also designed the pave diamond "Hung-Up" necklace that she wore on stage for her 2005 "Confessions on a Dance Floor" album.
"Hard Candy" is the upcoming eleventh studio album by the legendary singer-songwriter and it will be released by Warner Bros. Records, being the last of Madonna's regular studio albums to be released under the contract with the record company, although a compilation to be released in late 2008 or early 2009 will complete the contract.
Madonna's Hard Candy album coverIn comparison with earlier albums, a number of collaborators have been rumored to have produced tracks for "Hard Candy", whether their involvement represents producing, songwriting or vocals. Pharell Williams, Kanye West and Akon are only a few of them, inducing a hip-hop atmosphere to the entire album.
Known as the Queen of Pop, Madonna has always tried to promote her albums in a different manner than most of the artists, going glamorous and paying great attention to details. This is what she did with the jewelry that she wore for the cover of this one and she chose one of the biggest jewelers in the world to express her greatness.
