GROS ISLET: A unique jewellery collection celebrating the achievements of Olympic champion Julien Alfred has been unveiled, with proceeds dedicated to supporting her charitable foundation. The “Julien Alfred Legacy Collection,” crafted by Eleanor Prospere, founder of Fearless Jewellery, was officially launched at a fundraising event for the Julien Alfred Foundation on October 11. The foundation is committed to nurturing the development of young athletes in St Lucia, Alfred’s home country. Inspired by Alfred’s gold medal-winning performance in the 100-metre sprint at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the collection includes unisex bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. Each piece is designed around the shape of the Olympic medal and incorporates symbols of St Lucian national pride, such as the flag and the national flower. “Her victory was transformative for St Lucia. She has truly put our nation on the global stage,” Prospere shared with the St Lucia Times. “I wanted to create something that would allow everyone to celebrate her success.” After receiving approval from Alfred and her manager, Prospere personally financed and produced the collection. The launch aligns with the establishment of Alfred’s foundation, ensuring her legacy inspires and supports the next generation of athletes. CMC
