  • Enhances the Desirability of Natural Diamonds with the Launch of the ‘Love, From Dad’ Collection for the Second Piercing Ritual
  • Celebrates the Unique Bond Between Fathers and Daughters as Some Love Is So Natural, Only A Natural Diamond Will do

De Beers Group, the world’s leading diamond company, will support diamond jewellery retailers in driving demand for natural diamond jewellery by showcasing a new gifting occasion in the lives of young consumers – the second ear piercing, which is an intrinsic part of India’s traditional culture and modern rituals.   

De Beers is introducing a heart-warming ‘Love, From Dad’ collection as part of the Second Ear Piercing Ritual program. The collection highlights the unique and irreplaceable bond between fathers and daughters — one as rare, precious, and enduring as a natural diamond.

To amplify this concept nationally, De Beers Group has integrated the program into its partnership with the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) through the Indian Natural Diamond Retailer Alliance (INDRA), launched earlier this year. Retailers can register to participate in the alliance atwww.indraonline.in.

After registering with INDRA, retailers will be able to:

  • Access and customize the ‘Love, From Dad’ campaign collaterals with their branding as well as receive virtual training sessions on natural diamonds.
  • Leverage INDRA’s WhatsApp channel for seamless customization and personalization

Mr. Amit Pratihari, MD, De Beers India, said, “With the innovative ‘Love, From Dad’ campaign, De Beers continues to promote the unique qualities and desirability of natural diamonds, reinforcing their status as the ultimate symbol of enduring love and meaningful rituals. This program not only strengthens consumer connections to natural diamonds, but also provides retailers with a strategic platform to enhance their offerings during the festive season and beyond.”

At the heart of the Second Ear Piercing Ritual program lies a powerful coming-of-age moment: a daughter’s second ear piercing. Unlike her first, which is often a decision made for her, the second piercing is a ritual where she chooses to express herself on her own terms.

In this key rite of passage, a father sees his daughter shaping her own story. He knows that growing up as strong and independent isn’t just important for her; it’s everything. And there’s no prouder moment than watching her step into her own light.

De Beers Group aims to encourage dads to celebrate this new sense of independence through the heartfelt ‘Love, From Dad’ campaign. A natural diamond is an unbreakable, rare and timeless symbol of both a girl’s sense of self and of the unique father-daughter relationship.

Meanwhile, to support the Indian consumer’s connection to natural diamonds and the Second Ear Piercing Ritual campaign, De Beers Group has also created a dedicated website for India, www.adiamondisforever.in – a one-stop resource offering:

  • Information on natural diamonds—their authenticity, rarity, and timeless value
  • A curated catalogue of diamond stud earrings for second piercings
  • A store locator to help consumers find their nearest participating retailers

The ‘Love, From Dad’ campaign is launched as a 360-degree multi-lingual initiative to create maximum impact whilst ensuring deep consumer engagement across television, print, OOH, radio, influencer marketing and social media. The campaign has rolled out today and will continue through the upcoming festive season—a time for meaningful gifting and family celebrations.

By combining powerful storytelling with an omnichannel approach and strategic partnerships, De Beers is shaping the future of natural diamond retail and showcasing the insight that some love is so natural, only a natural diamond will do.

Conceptualised and executed by 82.5 Communications, the ‘Love, From Dad’ campaign invites the audience to witness the precious moments between dads and their daughters. It’s a campaign that De Beers hopes will inspire dads and their daughters to come closer and understand how much they mean to each other.

Ms. Sangeetha Sampath and Mr. Ravikumar Cherussola, Executive Creative Directors – South, 82.5 Communications, said, “Relationships and diamonds have always been a rich space to explore. Our task was to identify a fresh take in this space. The world sees teenagers in a stereotypical way. But the dad sees his young teenager as an adult-in-training. Her overflow of emotions is a part of growing up, while she is figuring who she is and isn’t, like when she wants a second ear piercing. This campaign is a faithful portrayal of this dad-teenage daughter relationship.”

The campaign rolls out across TV, print ads, radio, digital, social media, OOH, and other experiential touchpoints, ensuring that the bond and camaraderie between dads and their daughters resonate with everyone in a heartfelt manner.

Rio Tinto shuts Diavik mine operations after 23 years

Diavik has been an inspired collaboration between a mining company and Indigenous partners

After 23 years of operations and more than 150 million carats of rough diamonds produced before exhausting its economic reserves, Rio Tinto’s Diavik diamond mine in the Northwest Territories of Canada has celebrated its final day of production.

Rio Tinto Iron & Titanium and Diamonds MD Sophie Bergeron said: “Forty years ago there were very few people who believed there were diamonds in Canada – even fewer could have foreseen how the Diavik story would unfold. To arrive at this milestone has required vision, courage and determination to overcome significant challenges to mine diamonds beneath a frozen lake in one of the world’s most remote and pristine ecosystems.”

“Today, Diavik’s influence stretches into many spheres and over many continents and I am very proud to acknowledge all those people who have contributed to the discovery and development of the mine and the production and marketing of some of the finest diamonds the world has ever seen.”

Diavik mine, comprising four pipes, was discovered in 1991, beneath Lac de Gras, 220 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle. Mining began in 2003 and utilising both open pit and underground mining methods, has produced predominantly white gem quality diamonds and a small proportion of rare yellow diamonds.

Indigenous Government Organisations, government representatives and other stakeholders attended a celebration at the mine, signalling the formal completion of production at Diavik.

Diavik has been an inspired collaboration between a modern mining company and Indigenous partners with an enduring legacy of socioeconomic benefits for the North. RT looks forward to continuing to respectfully reclaim the land in line with our commitments to, and in partnership with, the Government of the Northwest Territories and Indigenous partners.

Planning for Diavik’s closure has been ongoing, commencing before the mine even began production, with closure goals covering safety, land use, landforms, water, biodiversity, community capacity and resource development. Closure activities will extend to 2029, followed by a period of post-closure monitoring.

The final production of Diavik rough diamonds will be polished and sold through 2026 and beyond by Rio Tinto’s international network of customers, including its long-standing Select Diamantaires.
