Jessica Chastain named global brand ambassador for Damiani

Jessica Chastain is the latest global ambassador for jewellery brand Damiani.

As part of her new role, the Hollywood actress is set to appear in the Italian luxury jewellery company's Spring 2024 campaign, which will be released later this year.

"I am delighted to be Damiani's global ambassador and to represent the values of this wonderful company throughout the world. One hundred years of history, passion, craftsmanship (and) creativity are an important legacy worth preserving," the Oscar-winning actress said in a statement via WWD.

She continued, "It is an honour for me to be a part of a family that safeguards and passes on Italy's artisanal excellence worldwide."

The Interstellar star joins South Korean actress and model Lee Sung-Kyung as an ambassador for the jewellery brand.

"It is an honour to welcome Jessica into our family. Her extraordinary qualities as an actress and as a person are known to all, but ours is also a choice of the heart," said Guido Damiani, the company's president, in a statement.

"Jessica is a sophisticated, committed, acclaimed woman, but most of all, she is authentic and true to her values - just like us. Together, I am sure we will do great things and achieve important new goals."

Previous Damiani campaigns have featured stars such as Jennifer Aniston, Isabella Rossellini, Sharon Stone and Brad Pitt.
