A fancy coloured diamond jewellery parure created by renowned jewellery artist Anna Hu of Anna Hu Haute Joaillerie will be sold at Christie’s charitable online auction, 3-13 July, in collaboration with leading diamond producer Alrosa.
The parure comprises a necklace, a ring and a pair of earrings in 18-karat gold with fancy coloured and white diamonds. The rich brown diamonds, including the 27.02-carat fancy brown-yellow stone on the necklace, are from Alrosa’s Yakutia mine.
The jewellery is sold by Diamonds That Care, a social responsibility initiative of Alrosa. Proceeds from the auction will support healthcare workers fighting against the coronavirus.
“Many people are in distress, and no one can remain indifferent to this pandemic. The world needs positivity, empathy, a sense of support, care and love. I hope to express all these feelings in my three pieces of jewellery. I was inspired and grateful to have received the opportunity to work on something larger than simply beautiful jewelry, something meaningful and with heart,” Anna Hu commented.
“We are living in a different world, where old divides are no longer important because we all face the same threat. By working with Christie’s, which operates in all the regions affected by the coronavirus, and the brilliant Chinese jewelry artist Anna Hu, we are raising funds for a US-based charitable organization supporting activities in various countries. This project is a living example of how countries and stakeholders can unite in their efforts to help those in need," said Alrosa’s CEO Sergey Ivanov. (Photo courtesy: Christie's)
