Vishal Kanubhai Vaghasia is the winner of the first annual “When The Source Turns Into Inspiration” jewelry design competition by the Dalumi Group. The company intends to use Vaghasia’s design as the basis for a new collection. More then 50 designers from all over the world participated in the competition, in which contestants were invited to create a themed collection or a single piece expressing feminine allure, using Dalumi's flagship "Yellow-Shade Diamonds" as inspiration. Vaghasia’s design makes Dalumi’s yellow shade diamonds the focal point, by contrasting them with white diamonds mounted on gold. “When the Source Turns Into Inspiration” reflects Dalumi’s commitment to supporting new talent and discovering fresh ways to express femininity, said Yuval Kemp, Dalumi’s head of marketing and business development. “The innovative concept realized by Mr. Vaghasia and its unique mounting suggested for our yellow-shade diamonds fit perfectly with our design philosophy.” “What I’ve done is fused contemporary with classic, drawing attention to Dalumi’s yellow shade diamonds”, Vaghasia said about his design. The competition’s judging committee included Alan Woolff, VP Merchandising at ICE.com, Hedda Schupak, Editor-in-Chief of JCK and Vered Dalumi Itzchaki, managing director of Dalumi.
