To our partners, supporters, and every single dono To our partners, supporters, and every single donor: Thank you. 🌍💎

Without your generosity and belief in this vision, this wouldn’t be possible. Together, we’ve built more than just a Science Lab for Renaissance School, we’ve built a launchpad for the next generation. 

We did it! 🚀✨

When there is a will, there is always a way." ❤️ When there is a will, there is always a way." ❤️

"Last week was one of the proudest moments in Young Diamantaires history. Standing at the Renaissance School, watching the students explore their new Science Lab, I was reminded that the most beautiful thing a diamond can do is create a better future for someone else." Said @tamara_gabay_ Tamara Gabay, Project Head.

This project started as a thought under a tree and grew into a solar-powered reality. To the 1,200 students at Renaissance: This is for you. Dream big. 🧪🔭

Thank you to everyone who donated, supported, and believed in this project. We truly shine brighter together.

Some projects are not born in a single day. They b Some projects are not born in a single day.
They begin with a spark and grow through trust, presence, and the people who choose to walk alongside you from the very first step.

First and foremost, we extend our deepest gratitude to the core partners who stood with this project from the very beginning:
 @debeersofficial @diamondsdogood
 @rubel_menasche
You believed in the idea when it was still only a vision, offered your support, encouragement, and strength, and remained by our side throughout the entire journey.

Without you, this story would not have been possible.

Following closely behind 💫💫✨️
we thank those who jumped into the boat with us early on, who trusted the process, took a leap of faith, and showed up when the path ahead was still unclear:

@wfdb.official @qreportjewelleryinsurance @hkdiamonds @royalasscher @srk.one
 @designer.diamonds @saphiradiamonds @sheetal.group @sarine_tech @tracrtm
 
Each of you brought something unique,
and together, you helped create something far greater than the sum of its parts.

Thank you for being part of this journey.
This is only the first chapter #morethanadiamond
#youngdiamantaires #renaissanceschoolproject and in the next post, we will honor the full circle of donors who helped turn a vision into reality.#

Next thing we know, we are planning a whole Science Lab project 

Being part of the YD group, It's also moments like  these 💫

Under the Baobab Tree: Where Purpose Was Born Th Under the Baobab Tree: Where Purpose Was Born 

That evening in South Africa, we gathered around a braai (South African BBQ), overshadowed by a magnificent Baobab tree. With its massive roots holding the soil together and providing shelter for wildlife, it became a powerful metaphor for what we were about to commit to.

As Young Diamantaires sitting around that fire, we asked ourselves the hard questions: "We've all come from privileged environments. Diamonds have given us wonderful livelihoods and opportunities. Isn't it our duty to give back?"
From that conversation, a decision was made: We're building a Science Laboratory at Renaissance School in Messina. (The idea was a kitchen & and library, but covid came... )

This project isn't just about construction - it's about impact that will last for years to come. It's about showing appreciation and commitment to others in the diamond pipeline who we may never meet, but whose children will benefit from this meaningful contribution.
The Baobab tree taught us something profound that night: strong roots create shelter for many. Now it's our turn to create that shelter.
It's a day - and a commitment - we will never forget 🙏

When we arrived at Renaissance School in Messina, When we arrived at Renaissance School in Messina, we didn't know we'd leave with our hearts full and a feeling that we have a real mission.

Meeting the principal and the children was especially moving. We asked a simple question: "What do you need most? How can we help?" and the answers opened our eyes.

From this visit, a life-changing project was born. Because when you meet children with big dreams and a strong desire to learn, you can't remain indifferent.

It's a day we will never forget 🙏

This is where the story of the RENAISSANCE SCHOOL PROJECT began

Stay tuned...

They show the people behind the YD Renaissance School Project.

What began during our trip to South Africa in 2016, with a simple question 
how do we give back in a meaningful way? 
grew into action.

In partnership with @debeersgroup , and the leadership of @tamara_gabay_ the YD team established a science laboratory at the Renaissance School in Limpopo.

This project was never only about a building.
It was about commitment, responsibility, giving back, and people turning intention into reality.

As the project comes to a close, we begin by saying thank you 
to the people who made it real.

Guest appearances give these meetings fresh perspectives, and we were delighted to have @danmano incoming CEO of the Rapaport group with us, to discuss all things diamonds💎
✨ Huge congratulations to our Young Diamantaires m ✨ Huge congratulations to our Young Diamantaires members Renee and Brett for their incredible wins at the 2025 Australasian Jewellery Design Awards in Sydney ✨

💎 Renee took home the top prize in the Colour category with her breathtaking piece Divine Absence, featuring Tanzanite as the hero stone. Accompanied by a one-of-a-kind artwork and song, this creation is a true celebration of imagination and craft. This piece transforms from a paintbrush, to a collier, to a pair of earrings, representing change, transformation and boundless imagination. A true feat of craftsmanship. The artist herself, depicted in painting by Chanelle Rose, shown reflecting inside the Tanzanite itself. A true work of art in all senses. 

🌟 Brett Low was honored with the Community Hero Award in recognition of his outstanding dedication as a skilled bench jeweller, his passion for knowledge sharing, and his tireless commitment to the jewellery community.

Both hailing from the Gold Coast, Renee and Brett are shining examples of young leaders transforming the future of our industry. We couldn’t be prouder!
