Reena Ahluwalia Solo Diamond Paintings & Jewelry Exhibition | Singapore

Diamond is a powerful symbol of eternal love, beauty, power and prestige. Reena Ahluwalia presented 'Diamond Dreams’ - a dazzling exhibition of her incredibly detailed diamond paintings and her 'Coronet By Reena' signature spinning jewelry collection, Soul Carousel. Reena's solo exhibition took place at the Visual Arts Centre, in Singapore.

Reena meticulously paints hyper-realistic diamonds with ultra-magnified facets. Reena believes we all are like diamonds - brilliant, beautiful, radiant, luminous, full of potential and so much more. These incredible paintings take time, anywhere from 200 to over 700 hours each. Each painting is Reena's labor of love, intimately capturing the play of light and color.

This year’s topic focused on the challenges and opportunities around designing for the Millennials.

A great deal has already been written about the Millennials, their buying power and behaviour. Rightly so, Millennials now make the largest consumer market for diamond jewellery. According to a report by the De Beers Group, Millennials in the US alone account for over 60 per cent of this generation’s diamond jewellery purchases in the top four markets, namely – the US, China, India and Japan.

I’ll summarize what I said at the GJEPC seminar. Since the diamond jewellery market is too wide a spectrum, I decided to focus on a specific area — the non-bridal diamond trends, a rising star segment for Millennials in the US. The premise of my talk was to question why things trend, what influences and shapes them to become market forces.
