As joint charity collaboration with the London based ethical emerald mining company, Gemfields, Ana created an exquisite pair of Gandhi inspired Zambian emerald earrings, totalling 20cts. The earrings were sold in 2013 to a private collector with a percentage of the proceeds being pledged to the Community schools project - one of Gemfields many social investment projects.

MAHATMA GHANDI
Mahatma Gandhi was the most prolific spiritual and ideological leader of the 20th Century, fighting for India's independence and inspiring the global fight for peace and freedom. The inspiration for the earrings follow a spiritual and mystical path.
GEMFIELDS EMERALDS
NATURALLY GLOWING
The earrings were hand mounted in 18ct yellow gold, with the overall style being inspired by the 1920’s Art Nouveau period, which is recognised by its natural flowing lines. The beautiful emeralds, totalling 20cts, are suspended as drops and the natural cognac diamonds are used in areas of pave and as larger stones to add sparkle and a sense of light. They also contrast with the emeralds, enabling them to ‘glow’ naturally on their own in an ethereal way. A sash of tapered chains are used to finish the earrings and add extra decadence and glamour.
AT THE OSCARS
ON THE RED CARPET
The earrings were worn alongside other pieces from Ana’s collection, at the prestigious Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles in 2013 by Danielle Epworth, the wife of acclaimed music producer, Paul Epworth. Here he won an Oscar with Adele, for their Bond sound track, Skyfall. The deep green Zambian emeralds were mined and supplied by Gemfields whose focus is on the consistent supply of ethically produced emeralds that have followed a transparent route from mine to market.
