Introducing CiviGem: Uniting the Global Diamond and Jewellery Industry
A New Digital Hub for Connection, Collaboration, and Growth
London, 10th February 2025 – The diamond and jewellery industry is built on trust, relationships, and expertise. Yet, despite being a global trade, it remains fragmented, with professionals often struggling to connect and collaborate effectively. Enter CiviGem—a pioneering digital platform designed to unite the industry like never before.
The Vision Behind CiviGem
CiviGem was born out of a simple yet pressing need: to create a centralised, digital community where professionals across the diamond and jewellery trade can network, share knowledge, and strengthen industry ties. Initially developed as a tool for the London Diamond Bourse (LDB), CiviGem quickly evolved into something much bigger—an international platform with the power to transform the way the industry operates.
“As someone who has spent years working across different facets of the trade—from mining to manufacturing to retail—I’ve seen firsthand how disconnected the industry can be. CiviGem is about breaking down those barriers, making us all stronger, louder, and more impactful as a united community,” says David Troostwyk, President of the London Diamond Bourse and founder of CiviGem.
What CiviGem Offers
CiviGem provides an intuitive, digital-first approach to industry networking and knowledge-sharing. Key features include: A Global Industry Directory – Easily find and connect with industry professionals based on location, expertise, company type and trade association.
Direct Messaging & Community Engagement – Foster stronger business relationships through real-time conversations and group discussions.
Knowledge Sharing & Industry Insights – Access an ever-growing library of factual information about natural diamonds, industry trends, and best practices.
Support for Young Professionals – Dedicated mentorship spaces to guide the next generation of diamantaires and jewellery professionals.
Empowering the Industry for the Future
The ultimate goal of CiviGem is simple: to empower industry professionals, enhance collaboration, and drive collective success. By fostering a spirit of partnership rather than competition, CiviGem aims to strengthen the diamond and jewellery trade at every level from miner, dealer, jeweller, designer and craftspeople.
“Success in this industry has always been about connections—who you know, what you learn, and how you adapt. CiviGem brings that to the digital age, ensuring that no matter where you are in the world, you’re never more than a click away from the right people and the right opportunities,” adds David Troostwyk.
With CiviGem, the diamond industry isn’t just keeping pace with change—it’s leading it.

De Beers Group Rewrites the Diamond Story with ‘Intention Pendants’ for the Woman Who Chooses Herself
Where natural diamonds become expressions of intent for women shaping their own path
De Beers Group taps into the modern ritual of intention-setting with the launch of ‘The Intention Pendant’ collection, where natural diamonds become intimate expressions of purpose and personal power. Designed for the woman who marks her milestones quietly yet deliberately, the high-glamour collection reflects a new language of self-gifting rooted in meaning, emotion, and self-belief. The launch speaks to a wider cultural shift, one where success is defined internally and luxury becomes a deeply personal signature.
For Gen Z and millennials, practices like manifestation, vision boarding, and ‘scripting dreams’ are no longer trends; they are core lifestyle rituals. Intention-setting has become a daily act of self-empowerment. De Beers Group captures this sentiment through a personal campaign narrative that features a young woman crafting a vision board and reconnecting with her inner clarity, with the pendant serving as her constant companion through quiet moments and self-discovery.

“Women today are choosing to celebrate themselves through everyday intentions. The Intention Pendants draw from the extraordinary legacy of natural diamonds while honouring this cultural shift,” said Toranj Mehta, Vice President of Marketing, De Beers Group India. “Rooted in the extraordinary legacy of natural diamonds, this collection reflects a shift toward jewellery as a personal marker of growth. Each piece serves as a quiet reminder a woman wears for herself, honouring her inner resolve and the promises she makes to her future.”
The launch is supported by a comprehensive 360° campaign designed to inspire and engage across print, television, radio, cinema, outdoor, digital, and social media outreach. Leading Bollywood and sports icons including Tamannaah Bhatia, Athiya Shetty and Sania Mirza have created and shared their personal vision boards while wearing the pendants, amplifying authenticity and aspiration.
Each Intention Pendant features a natural diamond, formed over billions of years and shaped patiently by nature, carrying a sense of timeless continuity into the present. Refined through the forces of time, it stands as a lasting symbol of resilience and brilliance. Inspired by celestial forms and personal energy, the design brings this journey from nature’s heart to hers into a modern, wearable expression. Worn close to the heart, the pendant becomes a personal touchstone, subtly manifesting her best life while reflecting her intentions, inner strength, and the journey she continues to shape.
The Intention Pendant collection builds on De Beers’ global focus on self-gifting as an evolving expression of self-love. Across markets, natural diamonds are increasingly chosen to mark independent decisions, personal milestones, and moments of inner transformation, signalling a move beyond traditional gifting toward jewellery that reflects individuality and purpose.
Launching ahead of the year-end period of reflection, the collection aligns naturally with a season devoted to renewal, clarity, and intention. The Intention Pendant emerges not as a statement piece, but as a personal symbol, one that accompanies a woman quietly as she defines success on her own terms.
‘The Intention Pendant Collection’, serves as a reminder of one’s potential through the timeless beauty of a natural diamond and personal expression. De Beers invites you to connect with cosmic energy, flowing from nature’s core to your own.
