Spectacular Grand Finale for HRD Awards 2007
At a recent gala event in Antwerp the diamond neckpiece titled "Bel Canto - A Homage to Maria Callas" took the center stage as the grand finale at the HRD AWARDS 2007.

This year's theme for the awards was "A Night at the Opera" and this piece was a fitting choice as the grand finale of the glittering ceremony.

This diamond neckpiece was designed by an acclaimed India-born, Canadian designer Reena Ahluwalia.

The diamonds were sponsored by Diarough N.V and the jewellery sponsor was Shrenuj and Company Limited.

Her work can also be found in private collections across Asia and Europe.

She has won numerous National and International awards, including the coveted De Beers Diamonds-Internation al Awards.

Her award winning piece was later featured by renowned fashion designer Alexander McQueen in his Spring / Summer 2000 collection in New York.

Reena has worked on campaigns with De Beers, Platinum Guild International (PGI) and the World Gold Council (WGC).

She also invests her time teaching part-time at the George Brown College in Toronto, Canada.
