DeBeers creates another legend to enhance the mystique of its diamonds, this one featuring benevolent spirits who lived in the stars—until the most mischevious of them played a prank that brought them all crashing to earth as diamonds.

The Amulets Collection draws its inspiration directly from De Beers’ native Africa. It highlights each spirit, from Gugu-Juju, spirit of the dance and the prankster mentioned previously, to Nema-Gala, the spirit of laughter.

A wide range of pendants are available each representing different purposes and are available from De Beers stores worldwide. Prices start from $6,000 – Via finejewelrynews.

With its latest collection, De Beers taps into the myth of a diamond-studded valley ringed by flames.
Enter the Valley of Diamonds collection, a 13-piece lineup of rings, necklaces and a single pair of earrings inspired by an ancient myth of the same name.

The origins of the tale vary—the Chinese, Indians and Persians all had their versions, some dating as far back as the eighth century—but the premise is invariably the same: an impossible-to-reach valley richly covered in diamonds.

And the obstacles for the protagonists are always plentiful. As if menacing surrounding mountains aren’t enough, the area is also ringed with walls of fire and inhabited by dangerous snakes whose gaze can strike a man dead, natch.

Police are hunting for thieves behind the biggest jewellery heist ever in France when they made off with diamonds and other valuables worth up to €80 million (102 million dollars) from a luxury boutique in Paris.
