De Beers opens flagship store in Dubai Mall
De Beers has unveiled its new flagship boutique in Dubai Mall, marking a significant expansion into the UAE in partnership with Chalhoub Group. Rooted in over a century of diamond expertise, the store showcases the brand’s iconic collections—including Talisman, Enchanted Lotus, and RVL—alongside one-of-a-kind high jewellery pieces. Inspired by nature and blending Southern African heritage with London design, the boutique offers a luxurious, immersive space that celebrates De Beers’ legacy and craftsmanship.
Drawing on diamond expertise stretching back to 1888, the jewellery house marks life’s gradual evolution with meaningful creations. Just as rough diamonds are transformed into exquisite De Beers jewellery, the house honours the heartfelt moments, big and small, that define who we become.
Situated on the ground floor of the prestigious Dubai Mall in downtown Dubai, the new boutique takes design cues from the De Beers flagship on London’s Old Bond Street. Resplendent in the house’s signature shades of blue, white and orange, the furnishings and decorations have been chosen to represent locations close to De Beers’ heart. The boutique is designed to foster connections between clients and Brand Ambassadors, with a combination of open-plan space to explore the collections and intimate private areas. A bespoke lighting system was developed to showcase the fire, life and brilliance of each De Beers diamond.

Motorsport Meets High Jewellery: Hannah St John Turns Heads with ‘La Velocita’ Diamond Necklace at F1 Event
A 25-carat, 1,800-diamond Masterpiece Inspired by Formula 1 circuits Takes Centre Stage at the Glamour on the Grid ahead of the Australian Grand Prix
At the glamorous lead-up to the Australian Grand Prix, Hannah St John, partner of Liam Lawson, made a striking statement at the Glamour on the Grid event with a one-of-a-kind diamond necklace that seamlessly blended motorsport and haute jewellery.
Titled “La Velocit” (The Speed), the necklace was crafted by Australian atelier Martin Rogers Jewellery. The extraordinary piece features approximately 1,800 diamonds totalling 25 carats, intricately arranged to trace the outlines of iconic Formula 1 circuits from the global racing calendar.



A true testament to craftsmanship, the necklace required an estimated 250–300 hours of meticulous handwork, including weeks dedicated solely to precision diamond setting. Valued at around AUD $500,000 (approximately $350,000 USD), the piece stands as a bold fusion of speed, design, and luxury artistry.
Blurring the lines between engineering inspiration and fine jewellery, “La Velocità” captured attention across the paddock, proving that Formula 1’s influence extends far beyond the track.
