De Beers Jewellers, the pinnacle of luxury diamond jewellery whose tagline is “a diamond is forever”, launches The Alchemist of Light high jewellery collection at the house’s new Canton Road flagship store in Hong Kong.

Now, the pieces can be perused in an intimate setting at the new Hong Kong store.
The collection is a tribute to beautiful celestial light, inspired by the way a diamond interacts with the simple natural element of light.
Everything Everywhere All at Once star Michelle Yeoh is no stranger to statement high jewellery. At the 28th annual Critics’ Choice Awards, the Malaysian actress wore the sculptural rose pink aluminium earrings featuring white and vibrant pink diamonds from the Ascending Shadows set.

Meanwhile, Cara Delevingne channelled old-world glamour with the Midnight Aura set, featuring a 20-carat pear-shaped diamond necklace and matching diamond stud earrings.

Here’s a look inside the collection’s seven unique sets, featuring 45 one-of-a-kind pieces, with each set exploring and interpreting light:
Has And Just Like That gone too far with the designer fashion labels?
1. Atomique

The Atomique set is an artistic exploration of the diamond’s molecular structure, depicted in linear and geometric patterns.

The notable star of the show is the sensational collar necklace, featuring an 18-carat, internally flawless diamond at the centre of the piece. Framing the centrepiece is a sculptural white-gold lattice holding almost 2,000 other diamonds.
2. Light Rays

The Light Rays set is themed around the interpretation of natural sunlight and how it radiates in nature. The set is designed with a contemporary aesthetic and encompasses nine pieces.

Breaking new design ground with fancy colour and polished diamonds, which are highlighted by warm-coloured, titanium fan-shaped motifs. With lines of white, the diamonds are set against striking black rhodium-plated gold.

3. Dusk Reflection

Crafted in shades of pink and white, Dusk Reflection is softly feminine and almost sensual with its four unique pieces. The design elements are influenced by the sunset radiating its soft glow over the horizon and incorporate De Beers’ signature Enchanted Lotus motif.
4. Ascending Shadows

A visual delight with a distinct boundary-pushing style thanks partly to the seven pieces’ architectural shape and striking shade. Inspiration for Ascending Shadows stems from the way stepped surfaces showcase light. Pink, blue and green anodised titanium and rare pink and grey diamonds make up this set, along with green and earthy pink roughs.
5. Midnight Aura

Green clouds of stardust are the inspiration for the Midnight Aura set and its five inventive pieces. Black rhodium is used as the backdrop to the peerless white round brilliant and princess-cut diamonds. Each diamond is innovatively set within cabochon-cut green chrysoprase from Africa.
6. Optical Wonder

Inspired by geometric patterns that create illusionary effects, this seven-piece set is made of pavé-set diamonds and coloured aluminium, which look like beams of light. In keeping with the “Op Art” feel, some pieces are monochrome while others feature vibrant colours.

7. Frozen Capture

The Frozen Capture set is inspired by the play of light through frozen rivers and the similarity of ice to diamonds, with six stunning pieces that flicker with artistic brilliance. This set is a first for De Beers as it features rock crystal from Brazil cut solely for The Alchemy of Light.
