Alex Wek: See How This African Beauty Is Remaking Herself

Former Sudanese refugee turned international supermodel Alex Wek has teamed up with diamond jeweler De Beers to promote the company’s new brand, The Forevermark Precious Collection, according to Women’s Wear Daily. The collection includes meticulously crafted jewellery designs by Wek and other notable celebrities and fashion insiders.  Wek was inspired by using nature as her theme but was adamant about creating pieces that are realistic and wearable. DeBeers is also committed to mining in regions where communities benefit from precious stone production.QS

Iman Bowie was the first to get press attention on De Beers for social responsibility in mining. Alek has taken over the baton very smoothly. Well done both
