The 2015 edition of this project is the second year De Beers, the Jeweller of Light, has chosen to celebrate the work of talented and inspiring women through a collection of portraits by photographer Mary McCartney.

‘Moments in Light’ captures their spirit in light and provides a platform to share their unique stories and natural beauty with women all over the world. This is an important charitable programme for the brand, supporting Women for Women International on behalf of the women participating. The grants fund classrooms around the world, where women learn new skills and gain the confidence and knowledge that will allow them to rebuild their lives, their communities and inspire other women. 

François Delage, CEO of De Beers Diamonds Jewellers, comments: ‘By celebrating talented women we are both inspiring women to be proud of their own achievements as well as helping women in difficult situations around the world. It is truly a project for women, by women, through which we wanted to express their ‘Moment in Light’.
The soul of our brand being fundamentally about revealing the brilliance of women and of diamonds. We are delighted to work with Zaha, Diana, Liya and Karen on the next stage of this beautiful project.’

De Beers Diamond Jewellers was established in 2001 as an independently managed and operated company by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world’s leading luxury products group, and De Beers SA, the world’s premier diamond mining and marketing company.
Women for Women International work with women survivors of war in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda, and South Sudan. They help them transition from crisis and poverty to stability and economic well-being via a year-long training programme.

Women for Women International do this by bringing women out of isolation in a safe space with other women, by providing them with skills to earn and save money so they can put food on the table and send their children to school, by providing them with access and knowledge of how to look after their and their families’ health, by providing women with the knowledge and skills so that they can make and influence decisions in their homes and community.

Women are not victims of conflict, they are survivors and agents of change who can achieve the transformation they want for themselves and their families and communities with the right support.
