Power house designers, Eva Fehren, Ana Khouri, Anita Ko, Alison Lou, Ileana Makri and Arpana Rayamajhi have joined forces with one of the world’s largest producers of rough diamonds. Rio Tino has been operating their Argyle mine in Western Australia since 1983. Completely committed to the highest environmental standards and ethically sourced stones from mine to market, this global diamond source and team of dynamite fine jewelry designers has created the most beautiful and feminine collection showing off natural colored Australian Diamonds.
I had the great pleasure of attending the launch event of “Diamonds with a Story” where I was able to see, first hand each stunning piece from this collaboration collection. Each designer created her own unique designs intertwining natural golden Australian diamonds with their signature motifs. The room was filled with excitement and fabulous buzz on how these incredible designers captured the natural essence of these ethically sourced diamonds in each original piece set either in rose, yellow and white gold. These exclusive pieces will be available on each respected designer e-commerce sites starting at $1000 retail.
To top this dazzling diamond collaboration off, world renowned photographers Dimitri Scheblanov and Jesper Carlsen of Herring & Herring captured beautiful photographs of each designer and their sparkling creations in a concept coffee table book. What a perfect manner to preserve this exciting design partnership.
