As the world is undergoing a reboot of sorts, jeweller De Beers is about to embark on its own too. It announced a new collective called ReSet that will see five U.S. designers creating their own unique pendant necklace using De Beers’ natural diamonds. Independent jewellers Jade Trau, Jennie Kwon, Julez Bryant, Sara Weinstock, and Zoë Chicco travelled to Botswana late last year to get a closer look at how the jeweller operates which in turn informs them on their design and mission. These unique pendants will be auctioned off later this year via Sotheby's (from December 10 to 17) with the proceeds benefitting NAACP LDF and Stepping Stones, two organisations fighting racial justice in the U.S and Botswana. Each piece is estimated to raise between US$20,000 and US$25,000.
