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.

Divine Solitaires Reinforces The Value Of Diamonds Amid Rising Gold Prices and Evolving Consumer Sentiment
Divine Solitaires Shares Its Perspective On Why Natural Diamonds Remain A Timeless and Relevant Choice For Modern Buyers.
Amid recent debates about rising gold prices and changing consumer purchasing habits, Divine Solitaires has provided a timely brand viewpoint pushing customers to reconsider how they approach milestone and aspirational purchases. Drawing on the greater economic conversation about reduced gold dependency and smarter purchasing choices, the brand has proposed a simple but relevant idea: halting gold purchases does not have to imply pausing personal celebrations or dreams.

Built around the message, “A Golden Pause. A Diamond Moment.”, the brand’s latest communication reflects the current market reality, where consumers are becoming more mindful of gold purchases amid unprecedented bullion price hikes and evolving government measures impacting the gold sector. Divine Solitaires believes this moment presents an opportunity for buyers to shift their focus toward natural diamonds, which continue to hold emotional, symbolic, and long-term value for milestone moments.
The idea also stems from a broader industry and economic perspective. While more than 90% of the gold consumed in India is imported, India’s natural diamond ecosystem remains deeply connected to the country’s economy, with Indian artisans cutting and polishing over 90% of the world’s diamonds, most of which are exported globally. Divine Solitaires highlights how choosing natural diamonds not only celebrates emotional and milestone moments, but also supports Indian craftsmanship, employment, foreign exchange generation, and the country’s global leadership in the diamond industry.

Additionally, the brand positions solitaire diamond coins as meaningful modern purchases that can serve as a thoughtful alternative to traditional gold coins. While gold coins often offer limited value addition to the Indian economy due to high import dependency, natural diamonds contribute significantly to India’s craftsmanship, exports, employment, and global industry leadership combining emotional value with lasting economic impact.
Commenting on this perspective, Jignesh Mehta, Founder and MD, Divine Solitaires, said:

“Jewellery has always been deeply emotional, whether it marks love, achievement, commitment, or self-reward. At Divine Solitaires, we looked at the current gold price scenario and felt there was a larger, more relevant consumer conversation to participate in. If buyers are consciously holding back on gold due to current market conditions, it doesn’t mean their celebrations or aspirations should be put on hold.”
He further added,”Natural diamonds offer timeless emotional value and remain deeply aspirational. At the same time, they are part of an industry where India has built extraordinary global leadership through its craftsmanship and processing expertise. This is our way of encouraging consumers to think differently, thoughtfully, and meaningfully in the current environment.”
With this, Divine Solitaires maintains its position as a brand that goes beyond product-driven conversations, engaging with real customer sentiment and bigger societal developments while underlining natural diamonds’ enduring value.
