Deborah Blyth creates sustainable jewellery using diamonds from the ocean
British jeweller Deborah Blyth highlights the unfound riches of the deep sea with a new, sustainable collection of luminescent jewels punctuated with sustainably sourced marine diamonds
By Joshua Hendren
Jewellery has had a long-standing love affair with the ocean, from Chaumet’s Déferlante, which beautifully translates the breaking of waves into transformable high jewellery, to Jessica McCormack’s On The Rocks collection, which pays tribute to her favourite coastal landscapes with glossy, curvaceous forms. Most recently, the deep sea has been highlighted by British jewellery designer Deborah Blyth for the precious treasures nestled within its floors.
Launching today, Blyth’s Ocean Diamonds collection punctuates luminescent forms with sustainably sourced marine diamonds. Embraced in gleaming asymmetrical silhouettes, the raw diamonds are set in recycled 9K gold, lending a precious feel to the organic forms.
Furthermore, each diamond in the collection has been recovered from the ocean by professional diamond divers – a process which can be traced to the exact coastal location thanks to an embossed map of Namibia and South Africa that accompanies each purchase.
