Designer jewelry does not only make you appear stunning, it can also help a kid in Russia have a new place to play.
The best of the best in the fashion world came together to support a good cause at London's roundhouse theater this February. DeBeers sponsored Love Ball Gala's second annual fundraiser for Russian-born super model and philanthropist Natalia Vodianora's charity,The Heart Foundation, according to Alexa Brazilian of Elle Magazine.DeBeers is one of the largest diamond trading companies in the world.
The Heart foundation has built 40 playgrounds in Russia to date. Vodianora said, " I thought about being a poor little girl in my hometown,Nizhniy Novgorod. My sister and I had no place to play."

Vodianora also added,seeing the children in the first park they built was the most moving experience of her life. That moment inspired her to co-design with DeBeers, The Magic Moments Necklace. The necklace features delicate diamond-studded chains and two pink and white heart shaped diamonds according to Joyann King of InStyle Magazine.Also,The Magic Moment's central pendant features a 1.10-carat, fancy intense pink, heart-shaped diamond paired with a 3.06-carat, white, heart-shaped diamond handset in delicate micropavé. The pendant is held by a white gold chain studded with white, pink and yellow diamonds, with part of the chain being detachable to allow for versatility,according to Jeff Miller of The Rapaport Group,an international development company supporting diamond and jewelry markets.

Vodianora was very passionate about the inspiration behind the necklace. "Designing this piece with DeBeers was an experience I will treasure forever. We love the versatility of the piece, which can be worn encircling the body or as a pendant," she said.
The DeBeers Magic Moment Necklace designed by Natalia Vodianova raised $277,000 in total. The Love Ball Gala raised more than $1.5 million for the Charity.
