Paulson’s earrings were part of the #BlackIsBrillaint campaign by RAD x De Beers Group. The campaign is a platform from De Beers for Black designers. These designers, with De Beers’ backing, create unique, one-of-a-kind statement pieces using ethically-sourced diamonds from Botswana. Considering De Beers’ history in the diamond mining industry, this represents a new leaf for the company—hopefully, one that will extend throughout their entire business.
