Sharon Stone may have gotten in trouble with Dior over her remarks on China recently, but she can still bring in the gigs. Jeweler Damiani has announced that Stone will be their new face. The new ad campaign for the diamond seller celebrates women throughout history starting with Eve up through Ameilia Earhart and today's modern women. Silvia Damiani, who is a longtime friend of Sharon Stone, introduced the new campaign, which was shot on March 20th by photographer Solve Sundsbo, at a press event in Beverly Hills this week.

Despite her recent public apology Sharon Stone's comments about her belief that the earthquake in China is possibly linked to "bad karma" haven't finished causing her embarrassment yet. Now she's losing her advertising gig with Dior over the incident as they've issued their own apology for Sharon's comments and are pulling her from their suddenly very unpopular Chinese advertising campaigns.

It's amazing how fast things can change, considering Sharon was previously fairly well-received in China and is now considered by them to be "the public enemy of all mankind." That's never good.

Sharon Stone's long-delayed return to the big screen in" Basic Instinct 2" might be worth watching for the lux-spotting alone. A while ago we learned that Stone would be driving a Spyker C8 Laviolette Spyder in the movie. Now comes the news that she will be decked out in Chopard jewels. Chopard is the official jeweler for the movie and Sharon will be wearing the Strada XXL diamond watch shown here, a pair of white-gold Ice Cube rings with diamonds, a diamond ring with a heart-sized pink diamond at its center and diamond and aquamarine earrings. Maybe all the diamonds will distract us from the fact that we will be watching mutton dressed as lamb.
