"The Magic Moment Necklace was inspired by that precious instant when two people meet and immediately connect. Two stunning De Beers diamond hearts fit perfectly together becoming one - symbolic of a great love. I was reminded of the famous love poem by Pushkin and also of the first playground we opened when I saw the children's happiness and excitement. That was a magic moment I treasure and I instantly knew that the Naked Heart Foundation would be an integral part of me. It was a delight to collaborate with De Beers on this beautiful piece and I thank them for their generous support of the Naked Heart Foundation." Natalia Vodianova, on her inspiration behind the design.

The delicate diamond studded chains of The Magic Moment Necklace daintily encircle the body and capture the two heart shaped pink and white diamonds, a reference to love ensnaring and seizing a heart at that magical moment.
Stylish, modern and feminine, The Magic Moment Necklace delicately flows. The central pendant features a 1.10 carat fancy intense pink heart-shaped diamond seamlessly paired with a 3.06 carat white heart-shaped diamond and hand set in delicate micropave adding texture and depth. The pendant dances elegantly on a chain of white gold, studded with white, pink and yellow diamonds, with part of the chain detachable for versatility. The Magic Moment Necklace can be worn either as an intricate statement piece or a sophisticated pendant.
