The Natural Diamond Council has teamed up with designer Lorraine Schwartz on the Emerging Designer Diamond Initiative (EDDI) collection, featuring the work of five talented BIPOC designers currently showcased at Greenwich St Jewelers, New York.
Honoring that personal history is the cornerstone of each of these brands."Representation of my heritage is super important to me, says Marvin."Central America is beautiful and translating its beauty into tangible pieces of jewelry is truly special." For Constance Polamalu, selection for the program was"a huge triumph for me. When I was chosen, Birthright Foundry was a fledgling idea with a mission and some sketches.
Perhaps the most important outcome of the program, is around representation and how inspiration it is for future generations ofto see these collections in the flesh."Our great hope is that the world of fine jewelry becomes more divergent," says Jennifer Gandia."Looking at this initiative and these collections, I think that hope can be easily realized by giving underrepresented designers the access and opportunities they need to develop and achieve their goals.
"I felt called to start Birthright Foundry," says Constance, who started her business as a new mother in 2020. Born of the turmoil of the pandemic, the brand aims to"preserve and resurrect culturally significant stories" through jewelry,"because when you cast a design into gold and set it with diamonds you commit to the value of the piece. You immediately tell the world this has meaning and value.
