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.

On April 13, 2026, De Beers officially expanded its “Desert Diamonds” concept into the bridal sector, introducing a sophisticated palette of lighter, warmer-toned diamonds. This strategic move follows the successful October 2025 launch of the Ombre range, aiming to redefine luxury for modern couples who prioritize authenticity and individuality. The Desert Diamonds bridal launch in the US offers solitaire rings, three-stone rings, diamond bands, and eternity-style pieces, with prices undisclosed.

Strategic Shift & Product Offerings

Historically undervalued, brown and yellow diamonds are being repositioned as rare, emotionally resonant alternatives to traditional colorless stones. The new bridal collection features:

  • A Subtle Palette: Soft sand, warm white, and gentle champagne hues.
  • Classic Formats: Solitaires, three-stone rings, and eternity bands.
  • Designer Collaborations: Over 60 designers, including Kindred Lubeck, have contributed to the line to ensure a diverse, accessible aesthetic.

Cultural & Marketing Impact

The collection leverages significant cultural momentum, bolstered by celebrity endorsements, most notably Bad Bunny, who wore a bespoke Desert Diamond during the 2026 Super Bowl. De Beers is utilizing an integrated marketing campaign to frame these stones as symbols of a couple’s unique journey. By treating “Desert Diamonds” as an industry-wide program, De Beers seeks to reignite global desire for natural diamonds through personal storytelling and modern rarity.
