De Beers London Drops Water-Inspired High Jewelry Collection
“Vibrations” features several firsts for De Beers’ high jewelry, including the use of chalcedony and diamonds sourced from artisanal miners.
“Vibrations,” De Beers London’s 2026 high jewelry collection, comprises four suites, each featuring rare diamonds set into jewelry that reflects the character of landscapes, particularly the water elements, at the places where the diamonds’ journey began. Pictured are the “Echo” necklace and “Echo” solitaire ring (all pieces are price upon request).
London—De Beers London has released its latest high jewelry collection, a series of pieces inspired by the transformative power of inland water.
“Vibrations” is dedicated to the “life-enriching” bodies of water in Botswana, South Africa, and Canada, the sites of De Beers’ diamond mines.
The collection draws parallels between the fluid and dynamic nature of inland water, which shapes the landscapes it touches, and the forces deep within the Earth that form diamonds.
Some designs reflect the emotional resonance of water on the cusp of transformation, the company said, such as a river about to cascade down a precipice, droplets clinging to a riverbank, or freshly crystallized clusters of ice.
Other more abstract designs take inspiration from the perpetual motion, grounded, and invigorating essence of inland water.
The collection also features stones with a more literal connection to water—rare alluvial white diamonds, traceable to Sierra Leone’s tropical river valleys.
They come from GemFair, a sourcing initiative launched by De Beers in 2018 focused on developing a responsible sourcing model for the artisanal and small-scale diamond mining sector.
Used in both rough and polished forms, this is the first time artisanally sourced diamonds have appeared in a De Beers London high jewelry offering, the company said.
“Vibrations embodies our ambition for De Beers London high jewelry: to create a distinctive expression of high jewelry, rooted in our connection to the source and brought to life through creativity, innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship,” said Emmanuelle Nodale, CEO of De Beers London.
“From new expressions of diamond cutting to remarkable transformability, Vibrations pushes our artistry forward while celebrating diamonds of extraordinary rarity and character.”
The three newly released sets, “Cascade,” “Shimmer,” and “Undulation,” join “Echo,” the first suite, which was unveiled in January.
Echo was inspired by Fish River Canyon in Namibia, Africa’s largest canyon. The river carved its path over millions of years.

The three newly released sets, “Cascade,” “Shimmer,” and “Undulation,” join “Echo,” the first suite, which was unveiled in January.
Echo was inspired by Fish River Canyon in Namibia, Africa’s largest canyon. The river carved its path over millions of years.
The “Echo” transformable necklace drapes across the neck like a river traversing a canyon. It is made in 18-karat white gold and set with a 1.12-carat cushion-cut fancy intense blue “Natural Works of Art” diamond, rough white diamonds, and brilliant-cut and baguette-cut diamonds.
The “Echo” ring, featuring the set’s signature wave design, centers a 5.21-carat D-color, flawless “Natural Works of Art” diamond with rough white diamonds and brilliant-cut diamonds in 18-karat white gold.
Its five designs feature patterns meant to evoke light reflections and the rippling movement caused by a pebble dropping into water.
This suite features a diamond necklace centering a 1.12-carat fancy intense blue diamond from Namibia set among waves of white diamonds that graduate in size, recalling echoes reverberating around the canyon.
The blue diamond is one of seven diamonds from De Beers’ “Natural Works of Art” collection—a curation of ultra-rare diamonds the miner says represents the pinnacle of quality and character—used in the Vibrations collection.
The “Echo” necklace can transform into six unique jewels, including a necklace, tiara, bracelet, and earrings, making it the most technically complex piece De Beers London has ever produced, the company said.
The suite also features a ring centering a 5.21-carat, D-color, flawless Natural Works of Art diamond, alongside a brooch, a bracelet, and earrings.
The Cascade suite features another first for a De Beers London high jewelry offering: soft-blue chalcedony.
The hardstone was chosen for its gentle translucency, luminous glow, and aquatic hue, the company said.
The “Cascade” necklace, made in 18-karat white gold, features a 2.23-carat pear-cut, E-color, VS1 diamond, along with brilliant-cut, baguette-cut, princess-cut, and pear-cut diamonds, as well as chalcedony beads.
A pair of 18-karat white gold “Cascade” earrings with a removable tassel of chalcedony beads. Each is set with a 1.51-carat pear-cut diamond, as well as brilliant-cut, princess-cut, and pear-cut diamonds.
The chalcedony is paired with brilliant, pear- shaped, oval-cut, baguette-cut, and princess-cut diamonds that are pavé-set across four creations, each inspired by Tugela Falls in South Africa, the highest waterfall in Africa at more than 3,000 feet tall.
The “Cascade” necklace, a fluid sautoir of chalcedony beads sourced from Namibia, represents Tugela Falls’ steep plunge and the misty foam rising from the waterfall.
Other jewels in the Cascade suite feature swirl designs reminiscent of colliding currents and curves that mimic the turbulent energy of a plunge pool.
The “Shimmer” necklace, made in 18-karat white and rose gold, centers a 2.07-carat, radiant-cut, fancy intense purple pink diamond from Botswana set among brilliant-cut and marquise-cut diamonds.
The “Shimmer” drop earrings are made in 18-karat white and rose gold. The pair features two radiant-cut Argyle diamonds—a 0.67-carat fancy deep pink diamond and a 0.71-carat fancy vivid purplish pink, accented with brilliant-cut, baguette-cut, and marquise-cut diamonds.
The Shimmer suite, in contrast, takes inspiration from an entirely different landscape: the snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and fjords of Canada’s Ellesmere Island.
Pink diamonds capture the pinkish glow of dawn and dusk across the frozen wilderness, while ice crystals are translated through geometric designs and lacelike motifs.
Four rare fancy pink diamonds, including a pair of harmonious pink diamonds from the Argyle mine, are used in the Shimmer suite.
The fourth suite, Undulation, pays tribute to the Okavango Delta in Botswana, a vast fan-shaped wetland in the Kalahari Desert and the largest inland delta on Earth.
The six pieces in this suite are defined by undulating curves that mimic the path of the Okavango River. Rough green diamonds, one of the rarest colored diamond hues, were chosen to reflect the diversity of shades in the Delta’s vegetation.
This suite features yet another first for De Beers London high jewelry: cabochon-cut diamonds, the softly rounded shape of which is reminiscent of water droplets.
The “Undulation” pendant is made in 18-karat white gold. It features a 1.23-carat emerald-cut D-color, internally flawless diamond and rough green diamonds, as well as baguette-cut, brilliant-cut, and cabochon-cut diamonds.
The “Undulation” cocktail ring, made in 18-karat white gold, is set with a 3.08-carat oval-cut G-color, VS1 diamond and rough green diamonds, as well as baguette-cut, brilliant-cut, and cabochon-cut diamonds.
The diamonds were manufactured via a specialized cutting technique that was developed over five years, the company said, and involved precision technology to achieve a smooth, domed form while preserving the character of each diamond.
Less than 0.5 percent of diamonds meet the necessary color and clarity criteria to be cut in this fashion, and fewer still possess the optimal crystal structure, symmetry, and quality, according to De Beers London.
De Beers Group recently renewed its Okavango Eternal partnership with The National Geographic Society for an additional five years.
The conservation project, announced in 2021, is focused on the long-term protection of the Okavango River Basin and conservation-related livelihood opportunities for its residents.
