Honouring 40 Years of Impact | Claude & Me & RBWH Foundation

At Claude and Me Jewellery, every piece tells a story, but some stories are bigger than ourselves. We had the honour of partnering with the RBWH Foundation for their Ruby Gala, a special evening celebrating 40 years of the Foundation’s vital work supporting Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.

As a small family-run business, giving back to causes close to home is woven into who we are. Healthcare touches us all, and we were proud to play a small part in an evening that brought people together in support of something truly meaningful.

The heart of the night? The breathtaking ‘Lady Annabella’ Diamond Ring, designed and handcrafted by Claude and Me as the feature prize of the evening. Set in 18k white gold and crowned with a 2.11ct bouquet of natural pear-shaped diamonds, the piece drew inspiration from the RBWH Foundation’s own emblem. Thanks to the incredible generosity of attendees, the ring helped raise $30,000 toward new technology and infrastructure at the RBWH.

To further celebrate the milestone, we also created an exclusive series of sterling silver pendants, designed in collaboration with the Foundation. Available as lapel pins or necklaces, these meaningful pieces echoed the Foundation’s logo and were sold on the night to raise additional funds.

Set to a backdrop of live music, dancing, silent and live auctions, and delicious food, the Ruby Gala was a vibrant evening full of heart and generosity. It is one we will treasure for years to come.

We are deeply grateful to the RBWH Foundation for including us in such a memorable celebration. To everyone who attended, bid, donated or wore a piece of our jewellery on the night, thank you. Your support means the world.

With warmest wishes,
The Claude and Me Family
