Like many others, at the beginning of my career I faced many challenges. I was young and somebody noticed me. As I started my journey to modelling, I was full of expectations.

The truth is, it was not easy at first.

I used to work a lot and things got a little crazy sometimes. I shared a small flat with some girls and struggled to make ends meet.

But I never gave up. Because perseverance and dedication are keys to success.

Today I am part of the jet set. When people ask me what my secret is, my answer stays the same: “Believe in yourself and keep shining”. Just like small stars.

I wanted a ring that reminded me where I come from.

I asked Mel to set a big emerald cut diamond in an elegant white gold ring. To wear it all the time.

What shines today was once just a rough stone.
