Every year, the International Women's Forum (IWF), an organization of women leaders at their particular field, honors a small number of ladies who have had relevant accomplishments. This year, a Mexican lady, Mrs. Olga Sánchez-Cordero, was honored at the IWF World Leaders Conference held in September in Seattle, Washington. She chose a beautiful Tahitian pearls necklace and earings for the ocasion, as you can see in the pictures below.

This award is granted in recognition of women leaders whose vision, commitment and contributions have opened doors and improved prospects for other women.
