De Beers Jewellers’ New High Jewelry Pays Homage to the Beauty of Trees
The “Essence of Nature, Chapter One” collection echoes trees and roots, literally and figuratively, through three sets of high jewelry.

The collection pays homage to the beauty and symbolism of trees, as the nature that surrounds the company’s diamond mines continues to be the jeweler’s muse.
Rough and polished green, yellow, and white diamonds are used throughout the collection’s three sub-collections, along with 18-karat white and yellow gold.
Diamonds evoke the majesty and mystery of ancient woodlands, from the roots that interlace deep beneath the Earth to the canopies that reach towards the sky, said De Beers Jewellers, which chose in this collection to focus on trees as a symbol of unwavering strength and support.
“In the first chapter of ‘Essence of Nature’ we celebrate our roots, both literally and figuratively,” De Beers Jewellers CEO Céline Assimon said.
“Tree roots are the unseen foundations of incredible beauty that can last for millennia, and humans are instinctively drawn to trees for their awe-inspiring longevity and stature. Likewise, diamonds have an intrinsic allure as ancient miracles of nature whose journey began millions of years ago deep beneath the earth.”

The “Embrace” sub-collection of “Essence of Nature” is an abstract ode to tree roots.
Because of their organic shape, rough green diamonds were used to represent foliage, which is juxtaposed by polished white diamonds meant to mimic dewdrops on leaves.
In the “Embrace” necklace, bracelet, ring, and earrings, De Beers Jewellers uses jet, a type of brown coal formed from the fossilized wood of Jurassic-period trees, for the first time.

The second sub-collection, “Interlace,” explores tree roots figuratively.
The necklace, bracelet, ear cuff, earrings, and two rings utilize fluidity, versatility, and asymmetry through curving diamond-set roots highlighted by rough and polished yellow diamonds.
De Beers Jewellers explained that this symbolizes, “the importance of roots as the foundation of beautiful things to come.”

The third and final sub-collection of “Essence of Nature, Chapter One” is the “Foundation” set, a tribute to the strength and dignity of trees.
Here, earrings become tree trunks, a jacket ring turns into the lush canopy of the forest, and a necklace featuring a 3.02-carat oval-shaped fancy deep grayish yellowish green diamond symbolizes growth and renewal.
“Essence of Nature, Chapter One” launched on Jan. 27 and features a total of 13 pieces.
The collection can be viewed on De Beers Jewellers’ website.
“Chapter Two” is slated to debut in July during Couture Week in Paris.
