De Beers Group’s newly released Desert diamonds ICONS holiday collection might just answer that subtle longing. They gave these beloved everyday jewelry pieces a new look in captivating, natural warm hues.
Captivating sunset yellow and whiskey tones
We are used to the pure, flawless white of diamonds, but Desert diamonds is putting the focus on the sheer color diversity of natural stones this time. The hues range from soft warm white and sun-drenched sunset yellow to rich, deep whiskey and amber shades.
These warm, natural shades lose the aloof, distant feel of traditional white diamonds, taking on a vintage and charming quality instead. Especially as the weather turns cool, just imagining these warm-toned pieces paired with winter knits or dark coats is beautiful.
The tennis bracelet every jewelry box needs
The absolute standout in this collection is the tennis bracelet.
To give the classic a fresh look, De Beers invited 65 designers from around the world (including industry heavyweights like Jessica McCormack and Fernando Jorge, alongside emerging brands) to collaborate. They kept the iconic fluid silhouette that sits flush against the wrist, yet by rearranging the warm-toned diamonds and applying modern craftsmanship, they instantly gave the familiar bracelet a fresh feel.
Alongside the tennis bracelets, the collection also introduced new interpretations of solitaire earrings, eternity bands, and halo diamond solitaire pendants. As De Beers Group General Manager of Natural Diamonds Lynn Serfaty notes, true luxury for us today is actually about “self-expression.” Rather than blindly chasing the same styles as everyone else, picking out a diamond with a unique amber glow that represents your own personality might just be the best year-end treat for yourself, or a gift for someone special.
