Through ReSet Collective, we are launching a collaboration with five talented jewellery designers from the US who share a passion for natural diamonds and sustainable sourcing.
Late last year, Jade Trau, Jennie Kwon, Julez Bryant, Sara Weinstock and Zoë Chicco visited our operations and a range of community and conservation programmes in Botswana to learn more about Building Forever, our commitment to leaving a positive legacy by protecting the environment, helping communities thrive, championing women and girls and being industry leaders in ethical practices.
Since the trip, each designer has created a unique pendant incorporating diamonds from De Beers, inspired by the people, wildlife and beautiful landscapes of Botswana and a shared commitment for creating a better future. The collection of these one-of-a-kind pieces will be auctioned for charity later this year.
Colby Shergalis, Senior Vice President of De Beers Group Brand, said: “Through ReSet Collective, we are connecting a community of jewelry designers to the people and places where our diamonds originate, so they can learn more about the journey of a De Beers diamond and the positive impact it makes. We were proud to host Jade, Jennie, Julez, Sara and Zoë at our operations in Botswana, and have been moved by their enthusiasm about sharing what they’ve learned and by their desire to find additional ways to give back. The beautiful and unique pendants they created are the result of months of work, in challenging times, spurred on by the memories of the extraordinary connections they made with one another and with the people of Botswana and we look forward to launching the collection.”
