Reading Time: 3 minutes

The Greenland Ruby x Reena Ahluwalia 5th year anniversary campaign has a winner. Yuki Horiuchi, CEO of Japanese Ambrose and Co. Ltd. was the lucky name drawn to win Reena’s ‘Fire Under Ice’ original artwork. Bringing together gemstones, art, technology and innovation, the campaign ran over 5 months, and offered ticket buyers the chance to win the original ‘Fire Under Ice’ artwork and receive a free limited-edition NFT version of Reena’s masterpiece.

The draw took place at the beginning of this month, after which it was shipped and delivered directly to Mr. Horiuchi. Valued at $10,000, the custom-made, hand-painted canvas was donated by the artist to Greenland Ruby and found its new home in Japan.
