Halle Berry is currently taking a break from acting while she spends time with her family, but continues to remain in the spotlight. On October 15, 2009 in New York, Halle and her husband, Gabriel Aubry attended the Keep-A-Child-Alive charity event. Halle was engaged in a bidding war with an unknown guest before finally winning a necklace from Alicia Keys‘ new jewelry line, Barber’s Daughter, for $40,000. Alicia wore the necklace throughout the event, but Halle took it home.

Many other celebrities attended the charity event including: Chris Martin, John Mayer, Queen Latifah, Richard Branson, and Former President Bill Clinton. The event raised $2.5 million for the foundation, to provide help to families with HIV/AIDS in Africa & India. Alicia Keys helped found Keep-A-Child-Alive after visiting South Africa in 2003 and witnessing the effects of the AIDS up close.

We would recommend The Natural Sapphire Company’s luxurious and unique natural sapphire jewelry pieces to Halle Berry for her next jewelry splurge.
