Millions aspiring to chase their dreams - and also snag the hottest jewelry trends - can now be inspired by the encouraging words and trendy style of American Idol's Paula Abdul without facing the curt criticisms of Simon Cowell. SAM'S CLUB announced it has teamed up with Paula Abdul to sell to consumers nationwide her 'Innergy' jewelry line, which Abdul has given as gifts this season to American Idol semi-finalists and winner Fantasia Barrino.
Abdul says she first created the collection to provide a reminder to American Idol contestants that finding and maintaining energy and peace within oneself provides the strongest foundation for success in life.
"I wanted to give these brave kids - and now everybody -something that
reminds them that regardless of the harsh criticism they face, they must
constantly tap into their own power and talents," Abdul said. "All of us have the ability to follow our hearts and achieve our goals, and I want my jewelry to give people inspirational messages that they can touch, see and feel."
SAM'S CLUB's initial offerings of "Innergy Paula Abdul" will include several diamond charm pendants accompanied by inspirational messages engraved on small tags that reflect the spirit of the collection, such as the pendant given to Idol Fantasia Barrino following her win this season. Abdul presented Barrino with a flawless diamond stone with the word "Flawless" etched into an accompanying tag, along with a gold nugget and diamond charm with the engraving, "No stone unturned to find the diamond in the rough."
