On Thursday night three of the nominees for the 2009 Women of the Future Awards were adorned by diamond jewellery from Diamondthrills.

The Women of the Future Awards, sponsored by Shell, were created to unearth and recognize the stars of tomorrow across diverse industries and to celebrate high achieving women under 35, all inspirational within their professions.

At a glittering ceremony at the Marriott Hotel in London’s Grosvenor Square, attended by such luminaries as David Cameron, Cherie Blair, Tessa Jowell, novelist Salman Rushdie and actress Anna Chancellor, three of the nominees wore diamond jewellery from diamondthrills and we’re delighted to say that two of them ended up winning the award in their category!

Melissa Geiger, partner in KPMG’s tax practice and nominated for The Professions Woman of the Future Award, chose to wear the Flora daisy-chain necklace.

Sam Smith (pictured), Managing Director of FinnCap and winner of the Business Woman of the Future Award, chose to wear the Lakshmi peardrop hoop diamond earrings (fast becoming one of our most popular items).

Sam told us afterwards, “I love my earrings! I think I want them!”

Holly Tucker, co-founder and Managing Director of notonthehighstreet.com and winner of the Entrepreneurial Woman of the Future Award, liked the diamondthrills jewellery so much that she chose to wear three pieces! Holly borrowed the Venus zigzag necklace, the Artemis Star earrings, and the Isis helix bracelet.

Diamondthrills approached some of the nominees for this year’s Women of the Future Awards because these awards celebrate the achievement of women across society, and we believe that wearing beautiful diamond jewellery is a great way for women to celebrate their achievements.

The idea of pairing brilliant diamonds with brilliant women on such an occasion was too just good to miss!
