De Beers Group has launched its branded polished diamond offering, ORIGIN De Beers Group, in retail stores across North America, marking the first time these diamonds are available in-store. The launch aims to provide consumers with enhanced assurance and immersive experiences while helping retailers connect more deeply with buyers.

ORIGIN De Beers Group enables retailers to tell the individual stories of natural diamonds sourced by De Beers Group. Each diamond is ethically and responsibly sourced, polished to precise symmetry, and traceable from its origin to the lives it has impacted, powered by Tracr, De Beers Group’s blockchain platform. This end-to-end traceability ensures transparency and authenticity, giving consumers a meaningful connection to their purchase.

Through immersive in-store and digital experiences, customers can explore the provenance of their diamond, the De Beers Group Natural Rarity Score™, and the social impact programs supported by the diamond’s journey. Each purchase becomes a personalized story of rarity, beauty, and community impact.

De Beers Group is working with 19 leading retail partners, covering 30 locations across the United States and Canada, to bring ORIGIN De Beers Group to consumers. Sightholders Grandview Klein and Mahendra Brothers are supporting these partnerships, along with independent retailers including Bachendorf’s, Bijouterie Italienne P.M. Inc., Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry, Brown & Co. Jewelers, CH Premier Jewelers, Gunderson’s Jewelers, Hamra Jewelers, Hamilton Jewelers, J.R. Dunn Jewelers, Kimball’s Jewelers, Korman Fine Jewelry, London Jewelers, Lugaro Jewellers, Mountz Jewelers, Razny Jewelers, Tara Fine Jewelry, Underwood’s Fine Jewelers, Wempe, and Windsor Jewelers.

Retailers are provided with advanced digital storytelling tools and access to provenance data, allowing them to share the unique journey of each diamond—from source to store.

Sandrine Conseiller, CEO of Brands & Diamond Desirability at De Beers Group, said, “ORIGIN De Beers Group offers complete visibility of a diamond’s journey from the earth into the hands of consumers, providing both transparency and a meaningful connection.”

Mahiar Borhanjoo, Chief Commercial Officer and Senior Vice President, Polished Diamonds, added, “This platform allows retailers to engage consumers with the beauty, rarity, and social impact of natural diamonds, while strengthening trust and creating lasting value in the industry.”

Richemont and Signet Jewelers Could Join Global Diamond Consortium In Bid For De Beers

Richemont, Signet Would Connect The Consortium To Key Global Growth Vectors Spanning Luxury High Jewelry and Mass-Market Retail.

Published

The Global Diamond Consortium (GDC)

Richemont and Signet Jewelers are reported to be in talks about joining the Global Diamond Consortium (GDC), the preferred bidder for De Beers according to a Bloomberg News report.

​GDC was selected in July 2026 as one of Anglo American’s preferred bidders for De Beers as part of Anglo American’s ongoing corporate restructuring. 

​The potential inclusion of Richemont—owner of luxury Maisons including Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels—and Signet Jewelers—the world’s largest retailer of diamond jewelry, operating brands such as Kay Jewelers, Zales, and Jared—would connect the consortium to key global growth vectors spanning luxury high jewelry and mass-market retail. 

​Strengthening the Natural Diamond Ecosystem: Participation by major luxury brands and global retail leaders reinforces commitment across the entire value chain—from responsible mining and manufacturing to consumer engagement. 

​Balanced Governance Structure: Discussions center on potential minority equity positions that would support long-term category growth while maintaining appropriate separation between ownership and commercial strategy.

​Broad Stakeholder Participation: The consortium continues to advance talks with host governments, including discussions with the Government of Botswana regarding a potential increase in its equity share in De Beers from 15% to approximately 25%, alongside participation from private investors and southern African host nations. 

​​Discussions between GDC, Richemont, Signet, and participating government stakeholders remain ongoing. Terms of any potential participation, including the size of equity interests, have not been finalized and remain subject to regulatory approvals and definitive documentation.
