Doherty launched jewellery line for money
Rocker PETE DOHERTY almost snubbed the chance to launch a jewellery line - until his management told him he stood to gain greatly from the venture.
The Babyshambles and Libertines star has teamed up with gem expert Hannah Martin for his Albion Trinketry collection, which features items including cufflinks and chains.
The line launched on Wednesday (01Dec10), but Doherty admits the jewellery collaboration almost never happened.
He tells The Times, "I wasn't very keen on having a range. It was a managerial thing. They said, 'Come on. You could make a few quid (pounds) out of this.'"
