Canadian jewelry designer Reena Ahluwalia partnered with Royal Asscher® to complete the iconic brand’s Stars of Africa by Royal Asscher® collection and design necklaces, pendants and earrings. The Asscher family and Ahluwalia worked together to create five new pieces of jewelry to complement the Stars of Africa half-dome, floating diamond ring first unveiled more than one year ago.

Patented innovation, the jewelry consists of full-diamond-globes with floating diamonds that are encircled by orbit-like elements.
The entire collection benefits Royal Asscher’s fundraising initiative, Star of Africa, which was launched in 2008 aimed at improving infrastructure in Africa by creating funding for healthcare, education and self sufficiency programs.

The initiative partnered with the Diamond Empowerment Fund® (D.E.F.) in 2009 to which Royal Asscher® has guaranteed a minimum donation of $50,000 that will contribute to the group’s scholar program.
