Tiffany & Co. is going to be a Premier Patron Sponsor of the “Diamonds In The Sky” Las Vegas Gala Event by the Diamond Empowerment Fund (D.E.F.). The event is slated on May 29th at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a gathering expected to consist of the international diamond jewelry industry, government officials from diamond producing nations, and celebrities from fashion and entertainment.

Proceeds of this event will benefit D.E.F.’s ‘Diamonds Do Good’ mission to support higher education initiatives and corporate social responsibility efforts in diamond communities.

Tiffany is already a D.E.F. Empowerment Circle Partner. Inherent in its mission has been a commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. “Doing good is not an afterthought, it’s part of Tiffany’s DNA and it is through support of organizations like Diamond Empowerment Fund that we are able to impact society and contribute to the sustainability of the communities where we source these precious gems,” said Tiffany & Co. executive vice president and COO James Fernandez.

Added Phyllis Bergman, president of D.E.F.’s board of directors expressed gratitude towards Tiffany & Co. being a sponsor and said, “We encourage other industry leaders to consider supporting this important event that celebrates the good that diamonds do.”
