Nicole Richie turns her attention to fashion

Nicole Richie to launch jewellery range

Nicole Richie is the latest star to turn her attention to fashion, but rather than the usual clothing line, she is setting her sights on jewellery.

The new mum has confirmed that she is working on a fifty-piece collection of jewels, although the range remains unnamed and details of the style have not been released.

The collection is expected to reach stores by autumn 2008, and will be stocked in high end US boutiques such as Kitson and Fred Segal.

At the opening of boyfriend Joel Madden's DCMA Store last week, Richie confirmed her foray into fashion and added, 'There are new beginnings all around.'
