Toronto jewelry designer Reena Ahluwalia partnered with legendary diamantaire 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 new pieces of jewelry to complement the Stars of Africa half-dome, floating diamond ring first unveiled more than one year ago.

The jewelry consists of full-diamond-globes that are encircled by orbit-like elements. The full-globes spin to symbolizing earth’s rotation while the free-floating diamonds represent the shining spirit of people. These orbits signify education, health-care and empowerment all of which are essential components to the root of the Star of Africa initiative. The pendants function as modern day amulets infused with messages of hope and well-being. The design of necklaces, earrings and pendants are all streamlined to represent the wondrous continent of Africa.

For each ’Stars of Africa’ piece sold from November 2010 - April 2011, 50 percent of the profits will go to the Seven Bar Foundation through an online collaboration on Royal Asscher’s website.
