The most elegant entry-level choice: De Beers’ new Lotus collection, now with cord bracelets too

Fine jewelry should never be kept only in a safe; it should resonate with every small rhythm of daily life. Rather than elaborate formal dressing, lightweight designs that can be layered as you please have become more appealing in recent years. Understanding this ease of the modern woman, De Beers London introduced new additions to the Lotus by De Beers collection in July 2026, translating a flower in full bloom into light and shadow that rest closer to the skin.

Resilient radiance from South Africa’s wetlands

Since its debut in 2009, the Lotus by De Beers collection has been a brand classic. Its signature four-petal silhouette is inspired by the wetland ecosystem of Botswana’s Okavango Delta. Even when rooted deep below the water, the lotuses there still rise to the surface and continue to bloom. The new pieces continue this life-affirming, fluid geometric beauty, centering on a round brilliant-cut diamond. Softly sculpted petals are arranged among golden ribbons, giving elegant form to inner strength.

The art of layering 7 mm and 9 mm pieces

Compared with the more substantial presence of earlier pieces, De Beers has intentionally scaled down the proportions this time. The new 9 mm diamond necklace and diamond bracelet are available in white gold and rose gold. Their petite proportions are charming worn alone, while layering them with existing pieces creates a modern London feel.

For those who love to play with details around the ears, the 7 mm diamond stud earrings are a highlight. Their petite size is ideal for anyone with multiple piercings. Whether extending a monochromatic look or mixing white gold and rose gold, they make it easy to express your personal style. The wide rose gold diamond ring, also introduced in the collection, adds just the right amount of presence to the hand.

Exclusive colored cord bracelets online

For a touch of playfulness in a classic design, the 7 mm rose gold diamond cord bracelet, available exclusively through the official online store, may be the ideal introduction. Its lotus motif is finely outlined in metal and diamonds, then paired with De Beers London’s signature blue or pink cord. The vivid colors give fine jewelry a more relaxed, youthful feel.
