The jewellery

The unique pieces that will be auctioned have been handcrafted especially for the event by Christine Gauthier at WaterLily on Street 240, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The semi-precious stones have been donated by Jane from the UK. Jane collected the stones that are now incorporated in the jewellery during her travels around the world, for her friend, who had a passion for jewellery design. Sadly on her return to the UK Jane discovered her friend had passed away. Jane had been told by her friend to not get "anything boring" for her... What Jane has done with the stones is certainly far from boring and together with Christine's fabulous unique, one off, creations should create an amazing charity auction!
