Nicky Hilton has created a costume jewelry collection. The 26-year-old heiress--who has previously designed handbags and had her own clothing line--has fulfilled a long-held ambition by teaming up with Titan Brands for the "affordable" range.

She told WWD, "I'm a crazy jewelry collector. I've always known since I was a teenager that I wanted to do a line. Whenever I bought something, whether at a flea market in Paris or a bazaar in India, I've been collecting pieces."

Nicky claims she has been approached by "tons and tons" of different firms but only agreed a deal when she met Chad C. Haggar, Titan Brands' CEO.

She said, "He really shared my vision of high quality without the high price tags."

The line is divided into three collections, Art Deco--which is inspired by jewelry worn by her mother and grandmother--the classic Deco pieces in Spike, and Snakes, which is described as "contemporary edgy".

Priced wholesale from $35 to $480, the range will be sold exclusively through Endless.com this fall, before Nicky embarks on plans to expand though department and specialty stores.
