Lara Stone Jewelry in The Black Keys Weight of Love Music Video

A few months ago, I received an exciting email from stylist Karen Langley -- she wanted an assortment of my Thin Gold Rings for a top secret music video shoot! All I knew was that it was for The Black Keys (whom I love), starring supermodel Lara Stone (gasp), and directed by Theo Wenner (top fashion photographer who comes from Rolling Stone royalty and is rumored to be Miley Cyrus' new man). WHAT?

Only a few days after sending out my package of handmade rings I received the items back, some missing due to the "vigorous shoot". Okay, no problem. Then, it became a waiting game... 

Finally, this week the music video for The Black Keys song "Weight of Love" from their Turn Blue album was released and its um, titillating content will either leave your head shaking in confusion or admiration.

Lara Stone plays a beautiful but demanding cult leader of some ephemeral nymphs living out in isolation. They craft, do calisthenics and do whatever Lara tells them to do. One acolyte in particular bothers Lara -- played by fellow supermodel Lily McMenamy. Their faceoff provided this great shot of my rings in the shoot!


The video is up for viewing, but be forewarned -- there is some topless action going on. Artful, of course!

Do you love The Black Keys or Lara Stone (this was before Lara Stone got even bigger, posing with Justin Bieber for Calvin Klein ads)? What did you think of the video? Let me know in the comments!
