Miss World New Zealand, Magdalena Schoeman travelled to London with a unique blue pearl pendant for a charity dinner auction held at the prestigious Grosvenor House on 9th November.
All 120 Miss World contestants donated a unique gift from their home country that was auctioned at the dinner with all proceeds benefiting The Variety Club International Children’s Fund.
After choosing a 19mm Special Select Eyris blue pearl named ‘Ocean’, Magdalena and the team at Eyris developed a design brief. Jacek Pawlowski from The Blue Pearl Gallery took the brief and created a heart shaped pendant with two stylized children forming the outside of the heart with the blue pearl as the centre piece. The design beautifully symbolised the Variety Club Children’s Charity. The pendant was named ‘Children of the Heart’ which captures the essence of the Miss World contest, and epitomizes the Miss World ‘beauty with a purpose’ theme.
Miss World New Zealand said: “I chose a blue pearl because they are unique to New Zealand, each blue pearl is nurtured to become a valuable item of enduring beauty in the same way that each child needs to be nurtured to become a unique and valued human being”.
