The “Satchmo-Diamond”
Thomas Peter (Managing Director of Semper Fides Diamonds GmbH) and Kerstin Becker got to know each other during a tournament in Brelingen (Wedemark) in 2006. The idea of a ‘charity diamond’ in favour of the German Children’s Cancer Aid Foundation was born during a conversation. The origin of this was the death from cancer of Mrs Becker’s 30-year-old sister-in-law and her legacy: the four-legged friend ‘Zampl’. There was an immediate consensus to do something together. Mrs Becker contacted Mrs Winter-Schulze to present her with the idea of the ‘Satchmo Diamond’. She immediately agreed and after a discussion with Mrs Werth, Satchmo’s hair was diligently collected.
The ‘Satchmo Diamond’ is a green 0.5 carat diamond created from the hair of our double world champion Satchmo at Semper Fides. This unique, unmistakable and nature-identical diamond was auctioned off in collaboration with Isabell Werth, the Riders Tour and Semper Fides with proceeds of 14,000 euros for the benefit of German Children’s Cancer Aid.
“I hope that the auction of the “Satchmo diamond” will bring as much as possible for the Organisation “Deutsche KinderKrebshilfe” and needy children. Also on behalf of “Satchmo” I wish everyone an exciting course and lots of fun in the bidding process. “
