Unrestrained beauty: Nude Diamond Spring/ Summer 2015 collection
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:34
Rather than having your diamonds concealed in jewellery settings, Belgium-based brand, Nude Diamond celebrates its beauty from every facet and angle.
It all began with one carefully marketed De Beers campaign which presented diamonds as indispensable and instantly they were catapulted into fame as the emblematic symbol of love. Since then, diamonds have been set in jewellery, especially rings, and sold with a vengeance.
The rings were beautiful no doubt but the diamond’s true beauty was kept concealed every time it got encased in metal. Hence to celebrate the sparkling gems in all of its unadulterated glory, we have Belgium-based brand, Nude Diamond to take the diamonds out of their hiding.
Co-founded by Gary Pill and Fabrice Elfassy, Nude Diamond, presents a unique approach to highlighting the sheer brilliance of diamonds from every facet and angle. Allowed to delicately hang freely from dainty necklaces, rings and bracelets, the minimalist yet immaculate pieces exude a certain sense of calm and serenity, as though everything else simply ceases to matter for that one momentary second – a lot like love at first sight.
Born and raised in Antwerp, Gary Pill’s owes his passion for diamonds thanks to being in a family of diamond cutters for three generations, as he enthuses, “I can recall endless Wednesday afternoons spent at my grandpa’s workshop, sitting on his lap, watching him work on his precious stones with such love and care.” Meeting Fabrice Elfassy, the man who lives on going against the grain, Nude Diamond was born and has since won multiple hearts over for its sleek, sophisticated aesthetics.
Though small, the striking pieces do pack a mean punch as conversation starters whether you’re wearing them for a brunch meeting or an elegant night out with a little black dress. Additionally, the necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings are completely customizable, from the size and number of diamonds to the 18ct gold color (yellow, white, pink).
So since diamonds are timeless investments – especially one that comes unrestrained from fancy settings – start the year with one of your own. Why wait for a man?
Nude Diamond offers free worldwide delivery and is available online.
