De Beers Group unveils first-of-its-kind Second Ear Piercing Ritual program to support growth in natural diamond demand from young generations
- 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.

De Beers – The New Power Move: Why Natural Diamonds Are The Definitive Daily Essential For The Modern Indian Man
Natural Diamonds Are Emerging As the Ultimate Symbol Of Personal Style, Achievement, and Everyday Luxury For India’s Modern Male Consumer.
Masculine style in 2026 has a new focal point. The conversation around men’s jewellery has moved away from traditional ceremonial wear toward a more personal, everyday expression of identity. Whether it is a signature chain, a sculptural pendant, or a bold ring, natural diamonds have become the primary medium for this new aesthetic.
The data confirms this shift: recent industry research shows that 52% of acquired diamonds in India are now worn every day.
This cultural transformation is most visible where performance meets high-profile style. Indian cricketers are leading the charge, wearing natural diamonds both on and off the field as a mark of their personal journey and quiet confidence. From training sessions to post-match press conferences, icons like Suryakumar Yadav, Abhishek Sharma, and Hardik Pandya treat their bespoke diamond pieces as an extension of their professional “armour.”
This ease with luxury is mirrored globally; Formula 1 icons like Lewis Hamilton have long made natural diamonds central to their paddock style, while the red carpet has seen a surge in unconventional masculine styling. Recent appearances by Jay-Z, who wore a vintage diamond brooch at the collar, highlight that natural diamonds are a core part of the modern fashion vocabulary.
The primary driver of this shift is the Gen Z and Millennial male. Broadly the 18 to 38 age group, this demographic is urban, digitally fluent, and possesses a strong personal aesthetic. Gen Z alone now generates 51% of the total natural diamond market value in India, a 19% increase since 2022.
Most importantly, self-purchase is replacing gifting as the dominant entry point. Men are now research-driven and decisive, choosing to buy natural diamonds to mark professional achievements or simply to refine their daily personal brand.
While Tier 1 metros remain the primary base, aspiration is expanding rapidly into Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. As high-income Indian households are forecast to grow by 16% through 2030, the male natural diamond consumer of tomorrow is younger, more stylistically confident, and far more willing to invest in himself.
This demand is also shaping a new design language. The lone solitaire stud is being replaced by architectural silhouettes, layered chains, chunky bracelets, and rings with clean, geometric lines. Princess and baguette cuts are increasingly preferred for their sharp, masculine appeal.
As we look toward the next decade, this momentum is only set to accelerate. What began as a styling choice on the cricket pitch has matured into a cultural standard of authenticity and permanence. For the modern Indian man, a natural diamond is more than a luxury, it is an enduring signature of his unique journey.
In an era of fleeting trends, this shift toward the rare and the timeless signals a future where masculinity is defined by a legacy that stays forever.
