Greenwich, Conn.—De Beers Jewellers’ first North American pop-up is underway.

The 1,200-square-foot space displays various De Beers collections, including high jewelry, and De Beers branding and décor throughout.
The pop-up is the result of a partnership with Betteridge, the jewelry and watch retailer that can trace its history to 18th century England and has been through four generations of familial ownership.
Located in Greenwich since the 1940s, Betteridge was acquired by Watches of Switzerland a year ago.
