Diamonds Do Good Extends Submission Date for Project Bracelet Challenge July 04, 2021 (0 comments)
New York, NY--Diamonds Do Good has extended the deadline for submissions to its Project Bracelet competition. Designs will be accepted through July 23, 2021.
The unique initiative challenges designers from around the world to create a new signature bracelet that defines the organization. Diamonds Do Good was founded in 2006 to tell the world about the positive impact of natural diamonds in Southern Africa. Its focus today is to create meaningful change in diamond communities around the world and to tell these meaningful stories. Working with sustainable materials and companies who are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), participants will incorporate their interpretation of ‘Growth, Unity and Equality’ into their bracelet design.
The panel of reviews who will choose the final design includes an esteemed group of industry leaders:
- Kecia Caffie: SVP, General Manager Piercing Pagoda
- Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr: President, National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA)
- Kim Crawford: VP Divisional Manager, Jewelry & Watches, Macy’s
- Ayzia James: Branding, Digital Marketing Manager, Hamilton Jewelers
- Eddie Levian: CEO, Le Vian
- Daniele Miele: Gem Gossip/Influencer
- Lola Oladunjoye: Designer, Lola Fenhirst
- Stellene Vollandes: Editor-in-Chief, Town & Country magazine
The top three finalists will present their designs to the full panel of reviewers, including how the design relates to the theme of Growth, Unity and Equality. Among the benefits for the winner is a $1,500 prize, and their story and finished bracelets featured on the Diamonds Do Good website for donations to benefit the Flaviana Matata Foundation, the potential for the bracelets to be featured at Jared The Galleria of Jewelry plus leading luxury independent jewelry stores and department stores across the United States--and to have a Diamonds Do Good Scholarship Grant donated in their name.
