Floating Diamonds

December 9, 2009

Wear a tiny diamond snow globe on your finger! Royal Asscher has designed a line of 18 rings featuring loose diamonds floating beneath a natural sapphire dome. As you move, so do the diamonds, twinkling with fire and brilliance as they gently cascade from one side of these mesmerizing rings to the other. The rings are part of Royal Asscher’s Stars of Africa initiative, created to raise funds for health care, education, and self-sufficiency programs in Africa. According to Lita Asscher, president of Royal Asscher of America, the initiative gets its name from the Star of Africa diamond (a.k.a Cullinan, weighing in at 3,105 carats in the rough), originally cut by the Asscher family in 1907. “But the true Star of Africa,” Lita says, “its most precious resource, is her people.” Vice President Mike Asscher adds, “It is of paramount importance to our company that diamonds bring happiness and well-being to all, and that they are used for development purposes and not to fund civil destruction.”
