SUPPORTERS of a south Warwickshire fundraising Gala Dinner have the chance to win a bespoke diamond ring worth £4,750 thanks to a local jeweller.
Camilla Jones in Alcester has crafted the one-of-a-kind ring to be raffled off in aid of The Esther Project’s Touch of Pink Gala, which takes place on February 7. And people don’t have to be there to take part with the raffle, which is live online.
At the heart of the 18 carat rose gold ring sits a 1.57 carat natural cushion-cut champagne diamond, complemented by two antique diamonds.
Jeweller Camilla said: “As soon as we heard about the Esther Project, we wanted to find a way to support the amazing work they do.
“We are lucky enough to work with beautiful things every day, and hear so many stories of heartbreak and love, particularly from women. We are so happy to have the opportunity to support this amazing charity and the women they work with.”
The Esther Project was established in Leamington by Lianne Kirkman in 2023 – her mission, to create a nurturing and empowering community where every woman can heal, grow and reach their future potential. It does this through a range of services, including counselling, one-on-one support, creative activities, employability opportunities, and drop-in sessions.
Esther House – a seven-bed supported living accommodation, opens its doors for vulnerable women who need a safe space to recover.
Lianne continued: “On hearing about our inaugural fundraising gala dinner, Camilla has been nothing short of incredible in her support, and we are absolutely in love with this beautifully designed bespoke ring and are thrilled to offer our supporters and wider community the chance to win such a special piece.
“The funds raised through the raffle will make a significant difference to the work we do alongside women in the Esther community who are experiencing social or economic disadvantage – supporting access to counselling, therapeutic sessions, trauma-informed courses, and opportunities to rediscover their potential, dreams, and purpose. We cannot wait to announce the lucky recipient of this extraordinary ring on Valentine’s Day.”
The full evening of entertainment, at Kings High School, is being compered by award-winning host and broadcaster Kirsty Leahy of KLP, and includes live music from all-female electric-acoustic trio String Infusion and talented singer songwriter Shanade Morrow.
