DE BEERS REFLECTIONS OF NATURE

Reflections of Nature, A high-end De Beers jewelry collection close to nature.

Let us emphasize that this new collection from the Maison De Beers is a very beautiful journey. It is a journey to spectacular and distant places. RReflections of Nature consists of five themes.

Okavango Grace, Motlatse Marvel, Namib Wonder, Landers Radiance and Ellesmere Treasure bring together thirty-nine pieces of jewelry inspired by the beauty of nature.

Okavango Grace. Forming a maze of waterways, swamps, and islands in the heart of lush vegetation in northwestern Botswana, the Okavango Delta is one of Africa’s oases that attracts the greatest concentration of wildlife.

The slender reeds that dot the waterways and sway with the wind have inspired the motif of the Okavango Grace jewelry collection: rough and polished diamonds suspended in a form of organic fringe that sway freely thanks to an ingenious setting.

Marvel is furious. Located in South Africa and known for its subtropical flora, Motlatse River Canyon is one of the largest canyons in the world. Its immense peaks and cavernous gorges offer a fascinating spectacle, especially at sunrise and sunset.

The effects of the sun's rays on these landscapes inspired the main motif of the decoration.
Marvel is breathtaking. Also, meticulously cut baguette diamonds set in thin rows embody the resilience and hardness of the Canyon rock.

Warm and cool hues coexist in the chromatic palette of the seven creations. Red, brown, orange, and yellow diamonds suggest the intensity of the sun and the natural color of the rock, while accents of more cool-toned diamonds in brown and rose evoke the interplay of shadows.

The Namib is the oldest desert and one of the largest on the planet; it winds along the coastal plains of western Namibia, stretching its dunes of orange and red sand in the scorching heat of the sun.

Brilliant round diamonds are set in a pattern that reproduces the texture of sand. While rough diamonds express the magic and mystery of the desert, the chromatic palette pays tribute to the spectacular tones of the site. The yellow and white diamonds are set in gold of the same tones, yellow and white.

Landers Radiance. A marine paradise off the coast of South Africa, Landers Reef is filled with colorful corals and tropical fish.

The ornate contours are inspired by the surface of coral branches and form the main motif of this set of eight creations, which brings together the widest variety of sizes and colors of diamonds.

The brilliant round diamonds evoke coral, while the chromatic palette formed by Fancy-sized cushion, marquise, and pear-shaped diamonds embodies the fish beds of the reef.
An abundance of rough diamonds symbolizes the vital and vibrant universe of the seabed.

Ellesmere Treasure. The white diamonds reign supreme in this piece: inspired by the immaculate immensity of Ellesmere Island, they have been selected one by one for their incredible purity. This clarity of the ice is embodied in brilliant round-cut pavé diamonds.
