Guests admired the centrepiece of the event and evening's charity auction, The Magic Moment Necklace, designed by Natalia herself and created by De Beers. Inspired by the precious moment when two people meet, Natalia recalled the famous love poem by Pushkin (A Magic Moment I Remember) when designing the piece. Natalia also wanted to capture her own magic moment, the instant she saw the children's happiness and excitement at the first playground opened by the Naked Heart Foundation.
