AWDC launches “We Protect A Legacy” campaign to champion natural diamonds

The Antwerp World Diamond Centre (AWDC) has launched a bold new campaign titled “We Protect A Legacy”, aimed at reinforcing Antwerp’s historic role as the global hub for natural diamond trade and raising public awareness about the crucial differences between natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds (LGDs).

Campaign Launch and Symbolism

The campaign was unveiled at the iconic Stadsfeestzaal in Antwerp, where a striking and symbolic installation drew public attention: a gumball machine dispensing lab-grown diamonds for just €5. This creative activation highlighted the significant devaluation of LGDs over recent years. Industry reports indicate that lab-grown diamond prices have declined by up to 95% over the past seven years, underscoring growing concerns around long-term value and resale potential.

Strategic Objectives

  • Consumer Education: The campaign seeks to clarify market distinctions between natural and synthetic diamonds, addressing increasing consumer confusion amid the growing presence of LGDs in the jewellery sector.
  • Market Positioning: By spotlighting the volatility of LGD pricing, the initiative reinforces natural diamonds as the enduring choice for long-term value, heritage, and emotional significance.
  • Trade Integrity: With LGDs comprising only 0.6% of Antwerp’s total diamond trade value, the AWDC reaffirms its commitment to transparency, authenticity, and protecting consumers from misleading marketing practices.

De Beers Group Rewrites the Diamond Story with ‘Intention Pendants’ for the Woman Who Chooses Herself

Where natural diamonds become expressions of intent for women shaping their own path

De Beers Group taps into the modern ritual of intention-setting with the launch of ‘The Intention Pendant’ collection, where natural diamonds become intimate expressions of purpose and personal power. Designed for the woman who marks her milestones quietly yet deliberately, the high-glamour collection reflects a new language of self-gifting rooted in meaning, emotion, and self-belief. The launch speaks to a wider cultural shift, one where success is defined internally and luxury becomes a deeply personal signature.

For Gen Z and millennials, practices like manifestation, vision boarding, and ‘scripting dreams’ are no longer trends; they are core lifestyle rituals. Intention-setting has become a daily act of self-empowerment. De Beers Group captures this sentiment through a personal campaign narrative that features a young woman crafting a vision board and reconnecting with her inner clarity, with the pendant serving as her constant companion through quiet moments and self-discovery.

“Women today are choosing to celebrate themselves through everyday intentions. The Intention Pendants draw from the extraordinary legacy of natural diamonds while honouring this cultural shift,” said Toranj Mehta, Vice President of Marketing, De Beers Group India“Rooted in the extraordinary legacy of natural diamonds, this collection reflects a shift toward jewellery as a personal marker of growth. Each piece serves as a quiet reminder a woman wears for herself, honouring her inner resolve and the promises she makes to her future.”

The launch is supported by a comprehensive 360° campaign designed to inspire and engage across print, television, radio, cinema, outdoor, digital, and social media outreach. Leading Bollywood and sports icons including Tamannaah Bhatia, Athiya Shetty and Sania Mirza have created and shared their personal vision boards while wearing the pendants, amplifying authenticity and aspiration.

Each Intention Pendant features a natural diamond, formed over billions of years and shaped patiently by nature, carrying a sense of timeless continuity into the present. Refined through the forces of time, it stands as a lasting symbol of resilience and brilliance. Inspired by celestial forms and personal energy, the design brings this journey from nature’s heart to hers into a modern, wearable expression. Worn close to the heart, the pendant becomes a personal touchstone, subtly manifesting her best life while reflecting her intentions, inner strength, and the journey she continues to shape.

The Intention Pendant collection builds on De Beers’ global focus on self-gifting as an evolving expression of self-love. Across markets, natural diamonds are increasingly chosen to mark independent decisions, personal milestones, and moments of inner transformation, signalling a move beyond traditional gifting toward jewellery that reflects individuality and purpose.

Launching ahead of the year-end period of reflection, the collection aligns naturally with a season devoted to renewal, clarity, and intention. The Intention Pendant emerges not as a statement piece, but as a personal symbol, one that accompanies a woman quietly as she defines success on her own terms.

‘The Intention Pendant Collection’, serves as a reminder of one’s potential through the timeless beauty of a natural diamond and personal expression. De Beers invites you to connect with cosmic energy, flowing from nature’s core to your own.
