I said to myself a second time that this girl was gorgeous, and that undoubtedly she loved jewellery. She laughed and said regretfully, » it’s a pity, I only like gold! » And she went out, leaving behind her a trail of freshness and glamour. The second time must have been two years later, I was in my jewellery shop on the rue Charlot, Caterina pushed open the door, and asked me with her adorable Italian accent if my jewels were made of gold. I said to myself that this girl was gorgeous and generous. Caterina had designed her first diamond necklace, a beauty that sold for a fortune at Christie’s, and while at it, she committed to help AMREF, which she has done faithfully ever since. It all began in 2006, I’d just started my own brand of jewellery, and Caroline, then PR at De Beers, had invited me to a big evening event organized by the jewellers, in partnership with the NGO, AMREF FLYING DOCTORS.Ĭaterina was one of the team of attractive French actresses selected by De Beers, who had each designed a piece of diamond jewellery to be sold by Christie’s, with the profits going to AMREF to finance their missions dealing with the health of women and children in Africa. She’s been a part of my perception for such a long time, plus I’m a member of this nebula of unknowns who make up her fan club! Of course, I remember it well, that’s the way it goes with one-sided relationships with a well-known person. I had crossed Caterina’s path several times.
