Seven collections to keep an eye out for at Habib’s Diamond Fest 2022

Habib’s Diamond Fest returns with another roster of stunning jewellery creations. The yearly celebration has become a staple event in the jewellery house’s calendar since its inception a little over 40 years ago and a signature campaign that has put Habib in a league of its own.

“Diamond Fest provides a platform for us to share our expertise and knowledge about diamonds and the opportunity to show Malaysians that with HABIB, everyone can own a diamond,” says Group Executive Chairman Dato’ Sri Meer Habib in a statement.

Promising a bigger and better installation of the festival, Habib brings forth an extensive list of masterpieces in white, yellow or rose gold and with exceptional craftsmanship that guarantee to turn heads and capture hearts. Here are seven collections that are not to be missed:

Adore

Femininity is celebrated in the most majestic way via Adore. The jewellery range is renowned for the cluster of round diamonds that effortlessly emulates the look of a hefty solitaire round diamond.

DWA

Those who are looking for their entry-level investment pieces may find DWA particularly appealing. Noted for its minimalist double-row diamond rings, the collection offers modern and trendy designs at accessible price points.

Empress

The Empress collection is distinguished by its unique fusion of fancy-cut diamonds. This ring, for instance, features a princess-cut diamond in the middle that is encircled by four marquise-cut diamonds.

Fire on Ice

Evoking crushed ice cubes, the collection combines baguette and round-cut diamonds. Here, square-shaped motifs are placed at the heart of each piece, generously embedded with multifaceted diamonds to maximise light reflection.

Gelora

Elegance in motion is the name of the game. The collection illustrates the ebb and flow of human emotions with the contrast between space and volume, and elevates them with round-cut diamonds on the five central strands.

H

Modernising the classic in the most thoughtful fashion, the collection is defined by the clean lines that imitate the alphabet ‘H’ as they band in lockstep. Among the highlights here are the chain-link bracelets in 750 yellow, rose or white gold.

 

Polaris

Named after the brightest star, the North Star, Polaris channels the classic solitaire round-cut diamond with its sizeable central diamond surrounded by smaller brilliant-cut diamonds, all sturdily held in place by shared prongs.

 

Diamond Fest will run until 31st March 2022 at all Habib outlets and culminate with a four-day Diamond Fest Grand Finale that ends on 3rd April 2022.

Apollo and Artemis Diamond Earrings Fetch Record-Breaking $57.4 million at Sotheby’s Auction

We previously wrote that this pair of earrings were likely to be the most valuable earrings to appear in auction—and we were right. Two spectacular diamonds— the Apollo Blue and Artemis Pink—mounted as earrings fetched a record $57.4-million (51.8 million euros) at auction on May 16 in Geneva, with an unnamed Asia-based buyer netting both, Sotheby’s said.

After protracted bidding, the flawless and vivid Type IIb diamond “The Apollo Blue” fetched $42.087-million. The equally intensely luminescent “The Artemis Pink” went for $15.33-million, buyers premium included. The earrings were sold as separate lots.

The earrings, named after the twin Greek gods, had respectively been valued at between $38-million and $50-million and $12.5-million and $18-million.The 14.54-carat “Apollo Blue” is the largest gemstone in its category ever to be auctioned and has been cut and polished to a pear shape.

The 16-carat “Artemis Pink” is near identical in shape. It is also one of the world’s most “chemically pure” diamonds, according to the Gemological Institute of America, which experts say gives the stone such a high degree of transparency.
