De Beers New High Jewelry Collection Embraces Seasonal Style
“Metamorphosis Chapter Two” is a continuation of the range introduced in January.
De Beers has expanded its range of “Metamorphosis” high jewelry, inspired by the four seasons and introduced in January. Pictured is an 18-karat yellow and white gold choker with yellow diamond and white diamonds from the “Summer” assortment.
Paris—De Beers has followed up the January launch of its 2023 high jewelry collection with a second chapter of “Metamorphosis.”
The jeweler unveiled new additions to the range in Paris during the high jewelry presentations last week.
While the first assortment, called “Prelude,” comprised nine pieces, “Chapter Two” adds 37 high jewels for a total of 46 pieces in the collection.
De Beers Metamorphosis High Jewelry Summer Collection
These 18-karat gold and diamond earrings from the “Summer” assortment were designed to look like ammonite fossils.

The second chapter continues the seasonal theme, showing groups dedicated to spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Each of the seasons includes a butterfly design, representing the collection’s growth, like the insect emerging from its cocoon, De Beers said.
The spring sub-collection was inspired by King Protea flower petals, a plant found in southern Africa, just like De Beers’ diamonds.
Summer is represented through yellow gold spirals that are reminiscent of ammonite fossils being uncovered on a sandy beach.
De Beers Metamorphosis High Jewelry Autumn Collection
This cuff from the “Autumn” assortment combines mixed metals, gradient enamel, and diamonds.

To represent fall, De Beers utilized Grand Feu enamel—a house first—to depict the colors of autumn leaves.
Ice and the frozen fragments of icy lakes inspired the “Winter” sub-collection.
Just as in Metamorphosis Chapter One, there are several transformable jewels in the collection’s second installment.
Movement is also at the heart of the designs, with many pieces being articulated or featuring en tremblant settings so they move and dance with the wearer.
De Beers Metamorphosis High Jewelry Winter Collection
Colored diamonds are featured in De Beers’ latest high jewelry collection, like this gray diamond that is the focal point of one of the “Winter” collars.

The collection’s only tiara combines materials and colors thanks to titanium.
As in previous high jewelry offerings, Metamorphosis Chapter Two incorporates color in varying ways, whether through colored titanium, the aforementioned Grand Feu enamel, by mixing metals like white and rose gold, or by utilizing dramatic colored diamonds.
Several stones from the De Beers “Natural Works of Art” collection make their finished jewelry debut in the house’s new high jewelry.
They include a 2.78-carat fancy intense pinkish purple cushion-cut diamond, a 7.61-carat fancy vivid yellow cushion-cut diamond and a less colorful, but no less impressive, 8.49-carat pear-shaped white diamond.

“With ‘Prelude’ we wanted to tell the story of the start of a magical transformation. In ‘Chapter Two,’ we continue this poetic ode to the beauty of nature’s constant evolution and welcome four beautiful butterflies. They are an iconic emblem of De Beers and a symbol of our boundless creativity,” De Beers Jewellers CEO Céline Assimon said.
“I am particularly proud of the daring designs of this chapter: we’ve experimented with bold volumes, graphic motifs and hidden details. Our focus on transformability and versatility reflects the fact that De Beers is a young house; high jewelry is the epitome of art and craftsmanship, but it should also be wearable and fun.”
