Gems News: De Beers Launches Chapter Two of Essence of Nature Collection

De Beers has unveiled the second chapter of its celebrated Essence of Nature High Jewellery collection, further elevating its status as a world leader in natural diamond artistry. This latest chapter introduces four distinct new sets, bringing the collection to a total of 42 exquisite one-of-a-kind pieces. Drawing deep inspiration from the symbolic beauty of native trees in the House’s diamond-producing countries, each piece is a poetic homage to the landscapes that shape the legacy of De Beers.

This Gems News report delves into how the Essence of Nature: Chapter Two celebrates trees not just as natural forms, but as icons of resilience, wisdom, strength, and renewal. The collection brings together raw and polished diamonds, sculptural metals, and intricate craftsmanship to echo these botanical wonders.

Nature and Craftsmanship Intertwined

The Camelthorn Resilience set is inspired by Namibia’s sculptural Camelthorn tree, with bare-branch silhouettes captured in hand-textured and polished gold. This striking homage to nature’s rugged resilience pairs organic bark textures with rough diamonds to reflect the raw authenticity of the land.

The Baobab Magnitude set celebrates Botswana’s revered Baobab tree—known as the “tree of life.” This collection is bold and voluminous, using hand-carved jet and a mix of polished and rough diamonds to reflect the commanding presence of the Baobab trunk.

In honor of South Africa’s Jacaranda tree, the Jacaranda Bloom set bursts with vibrant energy. Violet-toned Grand Feu enamel recreates the tree’s floral gradients, layered with diamond petals to symbolize beauty, renewal, and wisdom.

Meanwhile, the Maple Colours set pays tribute to Canada’s national tree. Delicate maple leaf motifs crafted in white, yellow, and rose gold are paired with fancy orange-hued diamonds, mimicking the natural changes of the seasons.

Highlight Pieces Capture Essence and Emotion

Among the most remarkable pieces is the Embrace Necklace, with cascading rough green and polished white diamonds surrounding a 2.91-carat oval diamond set in hand-carved jet—mimicking the elegance of natural foliage.

Complementing it are the Embrace Ring and Embrace Bracelet, each pairing green rough diamonds with carved jet and bold center diamonds.

The Foundation Necklace features a Fancy Deep Greyish Yellowish Green oval diamond suspended within a white diamond cascade—designed to reflect the grandeur of tree canopies. Other standout creations include the Interlace Cocktail Ring, with an 8.75-carat Fancy Intense Yellow diamond, and the asymmetrical Interlace Ear Cuff, inspired by intertwining roots with rough yellow diamonds and diamond “dewdrops.”

An Homage to Origins and the Earth

De Beers London CEO Emmanuelle Nodale emphasized the deeper meaning of the collection: “We are a House born from contrasts, and Essence of Nature showcases our bold artistry and pioneering craft techniques, with an unexpected duality between modernity and timelessness. The collection reflects our commitment to conserving and protecting the biodiversity of the regions where our diamonds are discovered.”

Céline Assimon, De Beers CEO, further remarked that the collection demonstrates the brand’s dedication to transforming Earth’s natural treasures into eternal heirlooms through craftsmanship that merges artistry with nature’s integrity.

Twenty-five of the 42 creations will debut at Paris Haute Couture, while the remaining pieces are set to be revealed later this autumn in China.

De Beers’ latest showcase not only affirms the brand’s deep-rooted relationship with nature but also its mastery in blending storytelling with luxury. The Essence of Nature collection invites connoisseurs to experience jewelry not just as adornment, but as living art that celebrates Earth’s most enduring symbols—trees that stand tall as sentinels of time and beauty.
