The one-of-a-kind winning pieces from Rio Tinto’s 2009 Champagne Diamond Design Competition are debuting for the first time to the public. The designs, that began as sketches, are finally complete after months of anticipation! The winning designs - a necklace, two sets of earrings and a brooch - will form part of a nation-wide travelling exhibition, hosted by leading US jewelry retail locations! The winning jewelry designs will tour throughout the US to eight different US retail outlets from November 2 to December 27.
All four designs do a wonderful job of emphasizing the beauty that can be attained through the use of all of the different shades in the Champagne diamond spectrum.
