Muse’s ‘Have a Heart’ Collab Returns, Now With DDG
The “Have a Heart x Diamonds Do Good” collection is championed by model and humanitarian Flaviana Matata and will benefit her foundation.

For the philanthropic initiative, which began in 2019, Muse curates a collection of pieces and names an ambassador to choose a charity to receive a portion of the proceeds from the curated collection.
The fine jewelry sales showroom and New York City boutique has selected model and humanitarian Flaviana Matata as the ambassador for this edition.
This year’s collection features exclusive natural diamond charms.
The donation will be made to Matata’s organization, the Flaviana Matata Foundation, which empowers young women in Tanzania through education and empowerment initiatives.
“This partnership with Muse is more than a collection of jewelry; it is a symbol of empowerment and support,” said Matata.
“Every piece represents a woman who will be able to write her own story, uplift her family, and contribute to her community. That is what makes this collaboration so meaningful for me, for my foundation, and for the future of the girls we support.”
There are 26 pieces in the collection, crafted with natural diamonds by nine designers in their own signature style. They are Beck, Castro Smith, Julia Chafé, Khepri, Mark Davis, Stephanie Gottlieb, Ten Thousand Things, Vice Versa, and Violette Joaillerie.

The Have a Heart x Diamonds Do Good collection retails from $615 to $10,000.
The Flaviana Matata Foundation will receive 10 percent of every purchase from the collection through DDG.
“At Diamonds Do Good, our mission has always been to highlight how natural diamonds contribute to building stronger communities. The Muse collaboration is a powerful example of that vision in action—connecting beautiful design with meaningful impact,” said Nancy Orem Lyman, vice president and executive director of DDG.
“By supporting the Flaviana Matata Foundation, this partnership empowers young women in Tanzania, demonstrating how natural diamonds and those who champion them can truly do good.”
Muse launched the collaboration on Oct. 23 and celebrated with a conversation and breakfast at its shop-in-shop at Nordstrom’s New York City flagship, which opened earlier this year.
The Have a Heart x Diamonds Do Good collection is available in-store at Muse’s showroom in the West Village neighborhood of New York City and at its Nordstrom shop-in-shop.
The collection is also available on the Muse x Muse website.
