Royal Asscher Exclusive Collection For MTV RE:DEFINE to be Auctioned at VIP Gala Benefitting the MTV Staying Alive Foundation

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 21, 2012

Sixth generation diamantaire Lita Asscher and art specialist Anna-Sophia van Zweden have come together, combining their biggest loves, to create a unique, limited edition collection exclusively for MTV RE:DEFINE. The one-of-a-kind collection will be auctioned at The MTV Staying Alive Foundations Aids Benefit Art Exhibition and Auction, RE:DEFINE, presented by the Goss-Michael Foundation in Dallas, on September 22nd from 7pm -12am.

The collections inspiration was drawn from beautiful and famous works of art combined with Royal Asschers patented jewelry innovation, Stars of Africa. The jewelry consists of diamonds, sapphires and rubies encased in a fluid-filled sapphire dome, which allows them to fall freely, like snowflakes in a snow globe. The result is cascading diamonds which emit light, fire and beauty as they move, like falling stars; the effect coupled with the gorgeous colors inspired by the works of art is truly mesmerizing!

Last year, the sold-out VIP event raised over $ 700,000 for the charity with original works of art from 30 prominent international artists including Damien Hirst. This year, the silent auction will feature an exclusive selection of bespoke luxury packages including a VIP package to the launch of Stella McCartneys new collection in New York, unique jewelry by Royal Asscher and a private concert orchestrated by Musical Americas Conductor of the Year 2012, Jaap van Zweden.

Prior to the high-profile event, Lita Asscher and Anna-Sophia van Zweden will host a private, exclusive viewing of the Royal Asscher for MTV RE:DEFINE collection alongside Royal Asschers complete Stars of Africa floating diamonds at The Joule Hotel on Friday, the 21st from 5:30-8pm. Guests will have the opportunity to take a first-glimpse at these truly stunning pieces and purchase their favorite design. RSVP: nicole(at)royalasscher(dot)com

Lita Asscher, President of Royal Asscher of America and 6th generation of her family to enter the business comments, Throughout the years, it has remained incredibly important to us as a family and as a company to support causes aiming to make a positive difference in the world. MTVs Staying Alive Foundation is an excellent organization working to change the lives of millions and we are honored to use our passion for jewelry and art to help them continue this important work.

ABOUT ROYAL ASSCHER DIAMONDS

Founded in 1854, Royal Asscher Diamond Company is run by The Asscher Family. The Asscher Family dynasty to this day continues to have an influence on the diamond industry. Joseph Asscher, at the request of King Edward VII, cut the largest diamond ever found, the famous 3,105-carat Cullinan diamond. Royal Asscher has also made its mark by refusing to work with conflict diamonds that originate from war torn countries that are unethically sourced and sold to fund warfare and civil destruction. Royal Asscher only sources diamonds from nations that are fully compliant with the Kimberly Process, an international diamond industry initiative to stop the flow of conflict diamonds. One of the companys founding fathers, Edward Asscher was one of the forefathers of this initiative, Royal Asscher requires that all of its diamonds are labeled by the government at the origination point and securely sealed during transportation.

Royal Asscher created their own signature patented cut in 2001, which has 74 facets, thats 16 more than the traditional cut diamond. It is based on their original Asscher cut dated 1902. The innovation and skill level of Royal Asscher has been passed down from generation to generation. Now on its 4th generation owners the companies still upholds their reputation for excellence.

The Stars of Africa collection (comprised of rings, earrings, pendants and cufflinks) consists of diamonds encased within fluid-filled sapphire domes, allowing the diamonds to float freely like

snowflakes in a snow globe. The result is cascading diamonds that emit light, fire and beauty, creating a truly mesmerizing effect.

Royal Asscher Diamonds are not only a favorite amongst royalty; celebrities also covet these specialty pieces from their contemporary line Stars of Africa. Celebrities who love Royal Asscher diamonds include Sofia Vergara, Megan Fox, Kate Bosworth, Carrie Underwood, Emily Blunt and Rachel McAdams.
