Kim Kardashian is at it again, this time designing a Kim Kardashian [Bebe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tomate-bebe) jewelry line with jewelry designer Pascal Mouawad. The pieces will for the most part be under $100, with some ranging in the $25 zone. "The collection will consist of '30s gunmetal and Lucite pieces, '60s geometric resin style pieces and a Moroccan collection," with the Moroccan pieces are leaning towards being belly chains (erk).

The Kim Kardashian for Bebe jewelry line will see flares of the most famous Kardashian sister in a cheaper form. Hopefully this line of [fashion accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvia-toledano) does better then her clothing line.
