The collection highlights the jeweller’s enduring connection to the natural world surrounding its diamond mines.
Titled “Essence of Nature, Chapter One,” the collection explores the intricate forms and profound meanings associated with trees through three distinct sets of high jewellery, crafted with rough and polished diamonds in shades of green, yellow, and white.
A Celebration of Strength and Growth
Each sub-collection within “Essence of Nature” offers a unique interpretation of trees as symbols of resilience, support, and renewal. From the hidden strength of roots to the grandeur of canopies, De Beers captures the essence of nature’s enduring spirit.
“In this first chapter, we celebrate our roots both literally and figuratively,” said Céline Assimon, CEO of De Beers Jewellers. “Just as tree roots form the unseen foundation for incredible beauty that can last for millennia, diamonds captivate us as ancient natural wonders whose journey began millions of years ago deep beneath the Earth.”
Three Artistic Sub-Collections
Embrace: Inspired by the interwoven forms of tree roots, this set features necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings crafted with rough green diamonds representing foliage. Polished white diamonds are strategically placed to evoke glistening dewdrops. For the first time, De Beers introduces jet—a fossilized wood from the Jurassic period—into its creations.
Interlace: This sub-collection interprets tree roots figuratively, emphasizing fluidity and asymmetry. Curving diamond-set roots, accented by yellow diamonds, symbolize the nurturing foundation that gives rise to growth and beauty. The pieces include a versatile necklace, bracelet, ear cuff, earrings, and rings.
Foundation: Paying tribute to the unwavering strength of tree trunks and the lushness of canopies, this set includes earrings shaped like tree trunks and a striking necklace featuring a 3.02-carat oval-shaped fancy deep grayish yellowish green diamond. The designs evoke themes of growth, dignity, and transformation.
Nature as Muse
De Beers Jewellers continues to draw inspiration from the natural environments surrounding its diamond mining operations. The “Essence of Nature” collection not only celebrates the splendor of trees but also underscores the brand’s commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
With “Essence of Nature, Chapter One,” De Beers invites jewellery enthusiasts to embrace the beauty and strength of nature through designs that blend artistry and symbolism with the unparalleled allure of diamonds.
