It has become a norm for Daisy Danjuma to stand out among her peers and she does this with no airs around her. The stylish woman is a lover of diamond, and sure the diamond doesn’t come cheap. She loves to play down her jewellery, but when she adorns her body with any, it makes a statement. She wore a beautiful white diamond with a emerald green stone at her birthday to complement her teal green French lace, which sat well on her and she looked very simple, but radiant. Her collection of De Beers diamonds is record breaking. As a collector, she doesn’t wear most of her acquisitions, Tiffany, Piaget, and so on. She has it all in abundance, but it’s in her Mikimoto acquisition that she stood out.

AND CHAMPAGNE FLOWED…
If the party was called a champagne party, it won’t be wrong to say so, because Champagne flowed ceaselessly. There was no table that does not have bottles of champagne and it was like a bottle to one person. Everyone enjoyed him/herself with other exotic drinks, which were served till the end of the party. The party was a buffet setting, so everyone had it to the fullest.
UNVEILING DANJUMA’S CHILDREN
