There are several watches with diamonds. But a watch that has a diamond-shaped face is new. The idea comes from Coronet Diamonds, a brand of the Aaron Shum group based in Hong Kong, but which sells its diamond jewels all over the world. Coronet has launched a new range of diamond watches that actually features a hand-drawn 3D image of a brilliant-cut gemstone on the dial. The author of the watch is Canadian designer Reena Ahluwalia, who is also a passionate diamond painter and has been collaborating with Coronet for years.

Two years ago, for example, Coronet won a Guinness World Record for her Mudan watch, thanks to the largest number of diamonds set on a watch: 15,858, for a total of 50.01 carats. The Mudan watch is in 18-karat gold, and has a 3D diamond dial made by Reena Ahluwalia. The flower that encloses the diamond is a peony, a flower that in Asia symbolizes nobility, honor and wealth. Peony (Chinese name is Mudan 牡丹) is known as the king of flowers in Chinese culture.

Coronet By Reena Ahluwalia Soul Carousel spinning rings in sterling silver and rainbow palette of Swarovski Created Stones

At the Jck Las Vegas Coronet presents two new collections designed by Reena Ahluwalia ♦ ︎
Coronet, a Hong Kong brand that is part of the Aaron Shum group, has long been working with the Canadian designer Reena Ahluwalia. At JCK Las Vegas here are two new collections resulting from the synergy: the Alyssum Collection and Silver Soul Carousel.
Alyssum collection is centered on the shape of the flowers. A collection that Coronet defines as «light, easy, airy» and is inspired, in particular to alyssum, a flower with a sweet and persistent scent. According to Reena Ahluwalia, the four petals of Alyssum represent love, passion, dreams and hope. The jewels are also the testimony of the designer’s stylistic brand: the flower with a four-pointed star in the center. The jewels are available in 18-carat rose gold, or yellow and white, set with diamonds and in some cases with enamel. Reena, they explain to Coronet, used enamel to show the color, attitude and individual expressions that consumers seek today. Price: the Alyssum collection starts at $ 499.
Silver Soul Carousel is instead a collection that uses sterling silver together with Swarovski Created Stones. It’s a collection with affordable prices, starting at $ 299.
Also in Las Vegas, Coronet presents the Inner Brilliance Spinning Diamond collection, again designed by Reena Ahluwalia, the Guinness Book of Records presented at Baselworld in the shape of Coca-Cola, with almost 10,000 diamonds. Lavinia Andorno

The designer has given her name to an entire line, Inner Brilliance, a jewelry collection obviously made from diamonds. There are two extra things to note: Coronet uses its patented set that combines seven different diamonds to form a single unit, creating the effect of a large solitaire. Reena Ahluwalia, for its part, has worked around this combination to build the collection, consisting of colorless diamonds, but also rubies, mounted on gold 18 carat white, pink or yellow. The collection consists of necklaces, pendants, earrings and rings. At Baselworld, in any case, Reena also presented one of his paintings depicting, obviously, a diamond. Lavinia Andorno

Coronet, brand specializes in diamond jewelry, entrusts its image to the Canadian designer Reena Ahluwalia.
In Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair, the company specialized in diamond, Aaron Shumand and his brand Coronet, announced the collaboration with the award-winning Canadian designer of jewelry and diamonds, but also a painter, Reena Ahluwalia. The designer painted a picture for Coronet.
Reena Ahluwalia is a designer who lives in Toronto, Canada. She is one of the greater jewelery artists: she design collections for major brands and, at the same time, creates large paintings with diamonds and precious stones. For his work he received a long list of awards and accolades, including the coveted De Beers Diamonds-International Award and the Diamonds Rio Tinto design award. Born in India, she absorbed the passion of the Indians for jewelry, but at the same time, she embraced a Western-type style. Reena has put her signature to the ornamental design as those who entrusted Rio Tinto to inaugurate the Bunder diamond mine, in Madhya Pradesh, India. Or for a tiara by Asscher, a tribute to the Royal Wedding of Kate Middleton. At this work we add the creation of hyper-realistic paintings of cut stones, not only diamonds, that look like mandalas, ritual representations for meditation. In a nutshell, if you do not have a big diamond you can always draw it. Giulia Netrese
