A diamond is forever, even if rough as the one that De Beers has left in its original octahedron shape in the Talisman collection necklace. A 13-carat stone of burnt orange color that marks a return to the high jewelery after four years with new pieces created to celebrate a line born ten years ago. Large medallions, bracelets, earrings and rings where the designer Hollie Bonneville-Barden has entered stones in a variety of shades of green, pink, blue and brown, flush mounted to enhance the natural light combined with other very classic baguette, round, rose cut and other mixed cuts. At the center of the jewel however there is always a colored rough unpolished diamond. An aside to the specialist white diamonds with the aim to reach new customers, less traditional. Perhaps a long shot in style but the company can afford it because as explained its Ceo François Delage, the business grow in double digits, even in China despite the government crackdown, because it seems that Chinese customers tend to De Beers to buy the jewels themselves and not as gifts. Will be available in stores next September, meanwhile here the pictures. Lavinia Andorno
