Singer and American Idol alum Jordin Sparks’ original sketch will be featured on a limited edition Pennyroyal Signature Collection pendant that will help fund mobile medical clinics in Haiti through Sparks Charities, an organization that aims to encourage young people to make a positive impact in their families, communities and world through volunteerism and service.
“I feel very lucky and humbled to be able to take something as simple as a sketch, a piece of silver and the power of music and make a positive impact on people’s lives,” Pennyroyal’s owner and designer, Tim Foster said. “It is a pleasure to work with an artist like Jordin who is so committed to making a difference.”
The hand crafted sterling silver pendant was created from Sparks’ exact sketch with the words “Suki Desu,” which means “I like,” or more casually, “I love,” in Japanese. Sparks’ signature is on the back along with the phrase, “I’m M.A.D. Are You?”
“I’m so excited to be working with Pennyroyal Silver on this project!” says Sparks. “I am trying to teach myself Japanese and love the language. I really like this phrase [Suki Desu] and it inspired the drawing. On the back it says “I’m M.A.D., Are You? It’s just my way of encouraging you to do something positive to help someone else.”
Right now, Sparks is M.A.D. about the destruction caused by the massive earthquake that devastated Haiti, one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, so thirty percent of the proceeds will go to Sparks Charities to fund mobile medical clinics in Haiti.
Sparks said, “So technically, by purchasing this pendant you are “M.A.D.!”
