The second chapter of Force of Nature, from the house De Beers, Honors the beauty and magnetism of the animal kingdom. Inspired by the majestic creatures of southern Africa, De Beers Celebrates natural beauty and its savoir-faire as a jeweler. Composed of fifty-eight creations, this second volume rich in symbolism is a beautiful tribute to a region that holds a special place in the heart of the House.

Through bold designs, the creations explore the almost magical power shared by animals and jewelry. One can only appreciate the exceptional selection of diamonds, presented in various forms and colors, both raw and cut. Already in January of this year we had a preview with eight innovative rings. Each one highlights diamonds chosen for their beauty and unique character, transforming into an artistic ode to the animal world. This time we discover earrings, spectacular necklaces, bracelets, pins, and headbands, all adorned with fascinating diamonds. For Céline Assimon, CEO of De Beers Jewellers: «Forces of Nature celebrates the animal kingdom with a unique approach. This special collection is linked to our conservation efforts in southern Africa, where the protection of wildlife is at the heart of our mission.» These jewels are not just works of art; they also carry a spiritual meaning, reminding the person who wears them of their affinity with a particular animal.»
