De Beers launches Chapter Two of Metamorphosis high jewellery collection during Paris Haute Couture Week
By SENATUS Magazine | 4 July 2023

Metamorphosis by De Beers is a High Jewellery collection dedicated to the transformative power of natural diamonds, with bold designs inspired by nature's perpetual evolution.

In January 2023, the House unveiled Chapter One, with its first set, Prelude. Prelude harmoniously captured the four seasons, introducing, among other pieces, an electrifying ear cuff strung with four titanium chrysalises to symbolise Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

During Paris Couture Week in July 2023, De Beers unveils Chapter Two, which sees four magnificent butterflies arise from these cocoons, each representing a new season. These exquisite creatures spearhead four sets comprising 37 new pieces that, in combination with the nine jewels from Prelude, create a full collection of 46 one-of-a-kind designs.

The Metamorphosis by De Beers collection celebrates the magnetic beauty of raw materials while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design and technical innovation. The four sets of Chapter Two are dedicated to the shifting seasons, with four distinct aesthetics that showcase the House's exceptional craftsmanship. Spring is represented by the overlapping petals of the King Protea flower native to southern Africa, where many De Beers diamonds are unearthed. The Summer set is inspired by the mesmerising spirals of ammonite fossils, crafted in yellow gold like relics revealed in sand. Autumn's russet leaves are abstracted into billowing curves of Grand Feu enamel, the first time this expert technique has appeared in a De Beers collection. And the glacial splendour of Winter is echoed in articulated jewels suggestive of the angular fragments formed on frozen lakes.

The unique collection champions movement and versatility. In Chapter Two, twenty pieces are transformable, while articulation and en-tremblant settings ensure that every creation comes to life when worn. Modern multi-finger rings, ear cuffs and an avant-garde tiara demonstrate the metamorphosis at the heart of De Beers, from purveyor of the world's finest diamonds to a daring and creative High Jewellery House.
