INTRICATE and graceful, De Beers presents two new collections that exemplify its artistry and beauty as a brand. These two captivating collections celebrate the brilliance of its precious stones and original design. 

De Beers Enchanted Lotus Collection 

De Beers pushes the boundaries of fine craftsmanship for its latest Enchanted Lotus Collection. The collection celebrates the serenity of the lotus flower which symbolises eternity, beauty and purity. 

The collection uses open work ceramic technique together with diamonds on the bands. The use of ceramic creates a bold contrast with the diamonds and highlights the brilliant craftsmanship with the graphic enchanted lotus motif.  The band designs pay homage to the cyclical nature of the sun by emphasising rising of the sun at dawn and as it sets for nightfall. 

The collection consists of two bands, which are the Daylight lotus band and the Moonlight lotus band. The Daylight lotus band is in white ceramic and pink gold, which reflects the energy of sunrise while the Moonlight lotus band comes in black ceramic and white gold, which showcases the enigmatic side of moonlight that shines with serenity. 

De Beers Infinity 

Inspired by the circular infinity symbol, De Beers Infinity engagement collection will set hearts fluttering to the beat of eternal love. The engagement rings from this collection have a solitaire diamond that is delicately set at the centre to symbolise everlasting love. The Infinity rings are adorned with white diamonds that are set in platinum from 0.7 carats onwards in size. 

The versatile collection also has contemporary bands, which are available in white, pink or yellow gold that perfectly complement the engagements rings. The wedding bands can be worn with the engagement ring, alone or stacked together.
