KAY Jewelers and world-renowned fine jewelry house Le Vian hosted a celebratory launch event at Casa Cruz to showcase the new Desert Diamonds collection.
The evening brought together an intimate crowd of journalists, VIPs, celebrities, industry creatives, and friends of the brands for a chic, desert-inspired evening of cocktails, bites, and sparkling diamonds. Notable attendees included Ego Nwodim, Kate Mara, Josephine Skriver, and Micaela Erlanger.
The KAY Jewelers x Le Vian Desert Diamonds Collection includes natural diamonds in seamless ombré tones - from deep mocha to golden champagne. Each piece, crafted in 14K rose and yellow gold, embodies bold sophistication, natural elegance, and Le Vian’s signature artistry. Developed as part of an industry-leading initiative with the De Beers Group, this collection further continues KAY Jewelers and Le Vian’s commitment to preserving the legacy of natural diamonds while celebrating their rare and authentic beauty. Following the closure of the legendary Argyle Mine, which itself was located in a desert in western Australia, Le Vian now also sources its natural color diamonds from mines dedicated to responsible sourcing located in other remote desert regions around the world—continuing to honor the tradition of natural color diamonds.
Exceptionally rare and full of character, fewer than 100 Chocolate Diamonds® over five carats are known to exist worldwide, making each Le Vian Desert Ombré™ diamond a powerful symbol of authenticity and lasting significance.
