Paris Haute Couture Week saw De Beers celebrate the 10th Anniversary of its iconic Talisman collection with a nostalgic new line. The original pieces set a new standard for high jewellery design in 2005, when they brought the raw beauty of the rough, untouched diamond to the fore. The new designs see perfectly cut diamonds sit alongside rough gems, offering an exquisite juxtaposition of organic form and polished craftsmanship. The jewels are grasped in the house’s hallmark serti-poincon settings, which lifts the stone into the light for optimum sparkle.
See below for an exclusive look at some of the most striking creations.
The De Beers Talisman High Jewellery will be showcased globally in the coming weeks, while the Talisman fine jewellery will be available in-store from September 2015.
