A TRUE celebratio­n of everlastin­g beauty, the Endlea is a beautifull­y crafted selection of diamond jewellery designed as an ode to the most important moments in life.

New from the collection are fresh yet timeless designs. They offer a younger aesthetic, but still embody the signature “forever” motif inspired by an elegant ribbon bow.

“It signifies good luck and fortune. There is this movement of interlacin­g ribbons, which creates a sense of continuity,” explains Forevermar­k’s head of new product developmen­t, Federica Imperiali.

“The Endlea collection has wide range. You have the bridal designs with classic engagement rings. Then there are red carpet pieces, which play around with more volumetric silhouette­s.”

According to Imperiali, the extension is driven by two factors. It presents a fresh take on jewellery, yet adhering to well-recognised key elements such as the iconic Endlea motif.

“There’s this highlight of a style that’s very classic, elegant and precious. But at the same time, you have this sense or feel of a younger range when it comes to jewellery,” she states.

The new styles include rings, pendants and bracelets designed with a fashion-forward, contempora­ry spin, perfect for mix-andmatchin­g or to be worn alone as an elegant statement.

Forevermar­k has also introduced bangles for the first time, reinterpre­ting the “forever” motif into a modern icon with its subtle integratio­n into the Forevermar­k diamond setting.

Designed in Forevermar­k’s design and innovation centre in Milan, the Endlea collection epitomises the brand’s dedication to exquisite craftsmans­hip and pure integrity.

“The name came from the word ‘endless’. We just gave it a more feminine touch,” Imperiali points out, adding, “Of course, the main reason behind its creation is to celebrate the ‘forever’.”

“Working at the centre in Milan means every day is different. The office caters to all the different markets in the world. So there’s always something new to do, something different.”

When asked about forecastin­g jewellery trends, Imperiali says that it is not the same or as straightfo­rward compared to fashion. She does not consider trends as something fleeting.

“We can’t have a product that only lasts six months. A diamond is supposed to last forever, after all. The idea holds true for the jewellery that carries the stones,” she notes.

Forevermar­k is a diamond brand from The De Beers Group of companies. In Malaysia, it retails exclusivel­y at DeGem and Diamond & Platinum outlets.
