"London—De Beers’ new high jewelry collection, “Reflections of Nature,” showcases the many diamond colors the earth produces.
The diamond miner and jewelry maker created five sets of jewelry, each inspired by a specific awe-inducing landscape, all in countries that produce diamonds.
The 39 total pieces convey different moods depending on their design, showing the stone’s versatility.
“Okavango Grace,” so named for Botswana’s Okavango Delta, which is filled with waterways and an enormous concentration of wildlife, replicates the delta’s tall, swaying reeds, De Beers said. A mix of rough and polished diamonds are set in cascading strands and meant to move with the wearer.
Green, pink, brownish pink, purple and gray diamonds capture the diversity of the area’s flora and fauna, contrasting with round brilliant, white diamonds, representing water. ...
... The pièce de résistance is the below collar, featuring 932 diamonds, a 2.18-carat cushion-cut diamond at its center."
