Eva Mendes Designs Beautiful Ring With Sentimental Tribute to Her Daughter

Eva Mendes may keep her daughters out of the spotlight, but that doesn't mean they don't influence her work. The actress and mom of two recently designed a ring in collaboration with Cast, a San Francisco based jewelry company, and the ring has several sentimental nods to Mendes' family.

The ring's name, Havana, is also a reference to a place that has a deep sentimentality for Mendes.

"I’ve named it the Havana after Havana, Cuba because that’s where my family is from. Jewelry needs to feel emotional to me or else I don’t wear it well," she explained in a post announcing the ring's launch.

"The chance to play and pick my favorite combination of colors for the amazing Flip Ring was a delight and to be able to partner to support The Art for Elysium, an organization I’ve supported over the years, was the icing on the cake," Mendes wrote in a press release shared by People. Ten percent of the proceeds will be donated to the organization, according to Mendes' social media.
