Sharon Stone seems to have put that China problem behind her.

The actress has grabbed herself a new gig as the face of Italian jewelry house Damiani, sources exclusively tell me.

The international print campaign for the firm's Musts and Masterpieces collection, shot on March 10, features Stone fashioned as iconic women, including Amelia Earhart and Eve (as in Adam and Eve!). "She looks gorgeous," a source says.

The jewelry company's Silvia Damiani will announce the new partnership with Stone by her side during a press conference tonight in Beverly Hills.

This will be Stone's first public appearance since getting into hot water for telling reporters last month she thought "karma" may have played a part in the recent earthquake in China because of how the country's government treats Tibetans. Although she quickly apologized, her Christian Dior beauty ads were pulled in China.

Stone joins a long list of major celebs who have worked with Damiani, including Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Milla Jovovich, Isabella Rossellini and Sophia Loren.
