Supporters of a fundraising Gala Dinner, organised by a Leamington-based charity, have the chance to win a bespoke diamond ring worth £4,750 thanks to a local jeweller.
Camilla Jones in Alcester has crafted the one-of-a-kind ring to be raffled off in aid of The Esther Project's Touch of Pink Gala, which takes place on 7 February 2026.
But you don't have to be there to take part with the raffle going live online today! (January 12).
At the heart of the elegant 18 carat rose gold ring sits a stunning 1.57 carat natural cushion-cut champagne diamond, complemented by two antique diamonds.

Jeweller Camilla Jones said: "As soon as we heard about the Esther Project, we wanted to find a way to support the amazing work they do.
"We are lucky enough to work with beautiful things every day, and hear so many stories of heartbreak and love, particularly from women. We are so happy to have the opportunity to support this amazing charity and the women they work with."
The Esther Project was established in Leamington by Lianne Kirkman in 2023 - her mission, to create a nurturing and empowering community where every woman can heal, grow and reach their future potential.

It does this through a range of services, including counselling, one-on-one support, creative activities, employability opportunities, and drop-in sessions.
Esther House - a seven-bed supported living accommodation, opens its doors for vulnerable women who need a safe space to recover.
Lianne said: "On hearing about our inaugural fundraising gala dinner, Camilla has been nothing short of incredible in her support, and we are absolutely in love with this beautifully designed bespoke ring and are thrilled to offer our supporters and wider community the chance to win such a special piece."

She continued: "The funds raised through the raffle will make a significant difference to the work we do alongside women in the Esther community who are experiencing social or economic disadvantage — supporting access to counselling, therapeutic sessions, trauma-informed courses, and opportunities to rediscover their potential, dreams, and purpose. We cannot wait to announce the lucky recipient of this extraordinary ring on Valentine's Day."
The full evening of entertainment, at Kings High School, is being compered by award-winning host and broadcaster Kirsty Leahy of KLP, and includes live music from all-female electric-acoustic trio String Infusion and talented singer songwriter Shanade Morrow. Shanade also leads regular lyric-writing, poetry and singing lessons at The Esther House Monday drop-in sessions.

Also helping to keep the guests entertained throughout the evening will be Angus Baskerville, wowing with his table magic - and DJ James Farmer will see the night out with plenty of dancefloor fillers.
Highlights of the evening also include the chance to get your photo taken wearing the Queen Cape, handmade by the Esther ladies earlier this year and now touring the area to raise awareness. The impressive patchwork is made up of more than 1,000 hand-stitched hearts and flowers and took over six months to complete.

There will also be the chance to see the first showing of an exclusive photographic exhibition by sponsor Karen Massey Photography. The Behind Closed Doors collection aims to create a visual narrative which brings awareness to the lived realities of survivors, while preserving their dignity and truth.
Camilla Jones is also kindly gifting 20 handmade silver heart pendants to the Esther ladies who took park in the photoshoot.
She said: "The pendants we made are meant as a reminder that we all have value and are worthy of love, regardless of the scars that shape us- we deliberately left the rough file marks that shaped them as part of their design.
"We are really honoured to hear that they will be gifted to the amazing women who shared their stories through the photos."

Other sponsors of the event include The Paul Rigby Group and Pentlands Accountants, Chalmers News PR, The Leader Marketing Partnership in Henley-in-Arden, Bia's Kitchen Show, Vibe Immersive, Table Art, Box Factory and PSL Lighting.
Tickets cost £99 each or a table of ten for £950, and are available to book online.
Further information about sponsorship packages is also available here or by getting in touch with [email protected].
The ring will be available to view in person, with raffle tickets on sale at the gala but tickets are also sale here.
The lucky winner will be announced on Valentine's Day.
