A cross pendant designed by the Vicar of Dibley herself, Dawn French, will be auctioned at Fellows Auctioneers. The 18ct gold 'Heera' diamond cross pendant was created in conjunction with the National Osteoporosis Society (NOS). With an estimate of £500 - £700, the elegant piece of jewellery features as Lot 377 in Fellows Jewellery Sale. The auction ends on Thursday 16th April. The ‘Heera’ cut diamond was one of three new cuts created and patented at the beginning of the 21st century by Emdico. A Heera diamond consists of 49-facets and is a modified round brilliant cut. This means that the diamond reflects light in a unique way. As part of an initiative known as the ‘Dazzler Campaign’, celebrities such as Dawn French designed jewellery using these cuts to raise funds for the NOS. This National Osteoporosis Society is dedicated to improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. Years later the stunning pendant has come up for auction at the independent, family-run business in Birmingham.

Nicola Whittaker, Business Development Manager at Fellows Auctioneers, who consigned the pendant, said: “It’s fascinating consigning pieces to our auctions that were designed by celebrities as it adds something extra to the story behind them. This piece is particularly intriguing because the cut of the diamond is so unique and rare. It’s the perfect representation of beautiful jewellery that we continue to offer in our timed, online-only auctions and bids can be placed on the pendant now. I’m sure due to its history that the pendant won’t be short of interest.” Fellows Auctioneers currently have auctions of Watches (ending 20th April), and Jewellery (ending 16th April), online via their website.
