The World of deBoulle

Natural Pink Diamonds - the Rarest Treasures in the World of Gemstones Hidden deep within the Earth, diamonds form under immense heat and pressure, transforming into some of nature’s most breathtaking creations. As the renowned physicist Arnott once wrote in 1830, "The diamond has nearly the greatest light-bending power of any known substances, and hence comes in part its brilliancy as a jewel." But among the dazzling array of diamond hues—white, blue, yellow, green, and even black—natural pink diamonds stand apart as the rarest and most extraordinary treasures. Known for their captivating color, remarkable brilliance, and unparalleled rarity, pink diamonds have become a symbol of opulence, love, and individuality. Revered throughout history and cherished by collectors and connoisseurs alike, these gemstones embody the mystery and wonder of the natural world, offering a glimpse into Earth's most exquisite artistry.

What Are Pink Diamonds? Pink diamonds are among the rarest and most fascinating gemstones in the world, revered for their exquisite beauty and enigmatic origin. While diamonds are universally admired for their brilliance and durability, pink diamonds are particularly captivating due to their stunning hues, ranging from soft blush to deep, vivid magenta. What makes pink diamonds even more extraordinary is their scarcity. Found in only a handful of mines across the world—most notably the now-closed Argyle Mine in Western Australia—pink diamonds are as rare as they are stunning. The closure of this iconic mine has made these gems even more sought-after, elevating their status as one of the ultimate symbols of luxury and exclusivity. Pink diamonds are more than just beautiful stones; they are masterpieces of nature, each one a unique blend of brilliance, mystery, and resilience that captures the imagination of collectors, jewelers, and romantics alike.The brighter the pink color of the diamond, the more valuable and desirable it is to collectors. The Origins of Pink Diamonds The journey of a pink diamond begins deep within the Earth's mantle, where immense heat and pressure forge these rare treasures over billions of years. However, what sets pink diamonds apart from their more common counterparts is the extraordinary process that gives them their stunning hue. Unlike blue diamonds, which owe their color to boron, or yellow diamonds, influenced by nitrogen, pink diamonds derive their color from a geological anomaly known as plastic deformation. This rare phenomenon occurs during the diamond’s formation, as tectonic forces twist and compress the crystal structure, creating distortions that refract light in a way that produces the diamond’s distinctive pink hue. It is this natural, yet inexplicably precise, interplay of pressure and time that creates such an unparalleled masterpiece. Pink diamonds are primarily discovered in only a few select regions around the globe. The Argyle Mine in Western Australia, long considered the epicenter of pink diamond production, was responsible for approximately 90% of the world’s pink diamonds before its closure in 2020. However, even during its four decades of operation, less than 1% of the diamonds discovered in the Argyle Mine were pink diamonds. Other sources include Brazil, South Africa, and India, but even in these locations, pink diamonds are discovered in extraordinarily small quantities, underscoring their rarity. The closure of the Argyle Mine has elevated pink diamonds to a level of almost mythical exclusivity. Based on the frequency of discovery and the amount of pink diamonds already discovered, it’s estimated that there are less than 500 carats worth of pink diamonds remaining in the world.  With the supply now finite, each remaining stone becomes an even greater treasure—desired not just for its beauty, but for its origin story, one that speaks of Earth's powerful forces crafting perfection under unimaginable conditions. Because of the way pink diamonds are formed and their internal structure, they are more challenging to cut and polish than traditional white diamonds. It can take up to three or four times longer to completely cut and polish a pink diamond than the more common white diamond. Pink diamonds are a testament to nature's artistry, their origins a blend of science, mystery, and magic. From the depths of the Earth to the hands of the most skilled jewelers, these gems carry a legacy that is as captivating as their radiant beauty. The Historical Significance of Pink Diamonds A pink diamond is typically worth over twenty times what a traditional white diamond of the same size and clarity would be worth. However, like all diamonds, the diamond’s color intensity, clarity, cut, and shape play an essential role in how much they are valued.  The pink hue of the diamond is a significant factor in its value. A pink diamond with a purple hue is extremely rare and, therefore, more valuable than a pink diamond with a brown hue, which is more common. The Daria-i-Noor  Easily one of the most well-known pink diamonds is the Daria-i-Noor, the world’s largest cut diamond that weighs 186 carats. Boasting a light pink hue, the Daria-i-Noor, worn by countless kings, was part of the crown jewels until around 1739 when the Persian Army captured it and returned it to Iran. Currently, the Daria-i-Noor is part of the Iranian Crown Jewels collection in Tehran. The Noor-ul-Ain Also known as ‘the light of the eye,’ the Noor-ul-Ain is a 60-carat pink diamond that legend says was discovered in the Golconda mines in India. With an oval brilliant cut, the Noor-ul-Ain forms the centerpiece of the Iranian Empress Farah Pahlavi’s wedding tiara that she wore during her wedding ceremony in 1958. The Pink Star The Pink Star, a 59.60-carat oval mixed-cut Vivid Pink Diamond, sold for over $70 million at auction. Along with being the largest Internally Flawless Pink diamond that has ever been graded by the Gemological Institute of America, the Pink Star also holds the record for the highest clarity and color grades for a pink diamond from the GIA. The Pink Star was discovered in 1999 in Africa by De Beers and was cut and polished for over two years. Queen Elizabeth II’s Williamson Pink Diamond Brooch When Queen Elizabeth II married Prince Phillip of Greece and Denmark in 1947, they received over 2,500 gifts, and included in their many gifts was an uncut 54-carat pink diamond from Canadian geologist John Williamson. The story goes that the enormous pink diamond was discovered by children under a tree on the grounds of a mine owned by Dr. Williamson located in Tanzania. The Queen had the diamond cut by Briefel and Lemur into a faceted 23.6-carat pink diamond, and later, in conjunction with her grandmother, Queen Mary, the pink diamond was set into a platinum and diamond brooch in the shape of a jonquil flower, by Cartier in 1953.  The Symbolism of Pink Diamonds Throughout history, pink diamonds have been revered not only for their breathtaking beauty but also for their profound symbolism. With their delicate yet vibrant hue, these rare gems are often associated with love, romance, and passion, making them a favored choice for those seeking to express deep emotional connections. The color pink itself has long been connected to gentleness and affection, while diamonds symbolize strength and eternity. Together, these qualities create a powerful duality: a pink diamond embodies both tender love and unwavering resilience. This perfect balance makes them a meaningful gift to celebrate milestones, relationships, and moments of enduring significance. Beyond love and romance, pink diamonds have also been associated with creativity and individuality. Their rarity and uniqueness mirror the qualities of those who choose them—people who value standing out in a world of tradition and embracing what makes them different. For this reason, pink diamonds are often favored by trailblazers and visionaries who see their jewelry not just as adornment, but as an extension of their identity. Whether set in an engagement ring, a pendant, or a one-of-a-kind piece from deBoulle’s High Jewelry Collection, pink diamonds radiate a message that transcends time: the celebration of love, uniqueness, and the lasting beauty of life’s most precious moments. deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry Pink Diamonds At deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry, we have a variety of exquisite pink diamond jewelry pieces.

Celebrating the Chinese New Year and Year of the Snake with deBoulle  Start your new year by embracing the Year of the Snake! The Chinese Lunar New Year is a time of joyous celebration, reflection, and renewal, marking the beginning of the traditional lunisolar calendar. Celebrated by millions around the world, this vibrant festival includes family gatherings, festive meals, and symbolic rituals that usher in good fortune for the year ahead. One of the most enchanting aspects of the Chinese New Year is the zodiac, a twelve-year cycle in which each year is represented by an animal with its own unique traits and significance. In 2025, we welcome the Year of the Snake, a symbol of wisdom, transformation, and creativity. In the Chinese zodiac, the snake is revered for its ability to shed its skin, representing rebirth and the courage to embrace change. People born under this sign are thought to be intuitive, intelligent, and graceful—qualities that align beautifully with the themes of the New Year. At deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry, we honor the elegance and symbolism of the snake with stunning snake-inspired designs that celebrate its timeless allure. Snakes Throughout Culture and History For centuries, the snake has captivated human imagination, symbolizing everything from wisdom and rebirth to protection and power. Across cultures and time, this mysterious creature has slithered its way into myths, legends, and jewelry designs, its sinuous form embodying beauty and symbolism in equal measure. That style and symbolism comes to life through stunning craftsmanship in the deBoulle Snake Ring. Set in 18K white gold, the ring’s sleek, modern design embodies the snake’s fluid grace. Its 0.69-carat marquis diamond eye sparkles with hypnotic allure, making it a powerful talisman for transformation and renewal. In ancient Egypt, the snake was revered as a symbol of divine protection and royalty. The cobra, or uraeus, adorned the crowns of pharaohs, representing their authority and a connection to the gods. The snake goddess Wadjet, often depicted as a cobra, was considered a powerful protector, guarding both the pharaoh and the land of Egypt. This regal connection to the snake continues to inspire luxurious designs in modern jewelry, where its form evokes both strength and grace. In Greek mythology, the snake was linked to healing and renewal, symbolized by the staff of Asclepius—the emblem of medicine to this day. The Greeks associated the snake’s ability to shed its skin with transformation and rejuvenation, a theme that also resonated in the stories of the Gorgons, whose serpentine hair signified both danger and beauty. In Chinese culture, the snake symbolizes intelligence, intuition, and mystery. Unlike the Western perception of the snake as dangerous, in Chinese folklore, the snake is often considered a positive force, embodying wisdom and the ability to adapt to change. The snake’s connection to renewal is particularly meaningful during the Chinese New Year, where it encourages reflection and transformation. In Hinduism, snakes hold spiritual significance, often depicted as guardians of sacred spaces and treasures. The cobra, in particular, is associated with the god Shiva, who wears a serpent around his neck as a symbol of control over fear and death. Snakes are also believed to protect the Nagas, mythical serpent beings who guard hidden wealth and knowledge. In Mesoamerican cultures, snakes played a central role in mythology. The Aztecs worshipped Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent, as a god of knowledge, creation, and renewal. This duality—combining the grounded nature of the serpent with the soaring ambition of feathers—represents the balance between earthly and spiritual realms. Across European history, snakes have often carried an air of mystery and reverence, representing the balance between creation and destruction, as well as the pursuit of hidden truths.In medieval European traditions, the snake was often depicted as both a protector and a tempter. It appeared prominently in Christian theology, where it was linked to the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, symbolizing both sin and the pursuit of knowledge. However, the snake’s symbolism wasn’t universally negative. In some medieval texts, snakes were seen as guardians of hidden treasures or secret knowledge, reflecting their dual nature as both feared and respected creatures. In Norse mythology, the serpent played a prominent role in the form of Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent. This colossal snake encircled the world, holding it together in a delicate balance. Jörmungandr’s presence was a reminder of the interconnectedness of all things and the power of forces beyond human control. At deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry, the snake’s rich history and symbolism inspire timeless creations, blending artistry and heritage. The, deBoulle Collection Snake Necklace, crafted in 18K yellow gold and adorned with emerald eyes and sparkling diamonds, reflects the protective and regal qualities that have made the snake a beloved symbol for millennia. It is a modern heirloom rooted in centuries of cultural reverence, offering a wearable connection to this extraordinary creature’s storied past. Across cultures and ages, the snake has served as a reminder of renewal, wisdom, and resilience. By embracing its beauty and meaning, deBoulle’s designs allow you to carry a piece of this fascinating legacy into your own story. Snakes in Jewelry Through the Ages  From ancient Egypt to the Victorian era, snake-inspired adornments have been associated with protection, power, and eternal love, making them enduring symbols in the world of fine jewelry. One of the earliest and most iconic wearers of snake jewelry was Cleopatra, the last queen of Egypt. Cleopatra’s fascination with snakes was well-documented, as she considered them sacred and a representation of divine authority. Legend has it that she wore intricate snake armlets and bracelets crafted in gold, adorned with vibrant gemstones, as a display of her royal power and connection to the gods. These pieces were designed not only to enhance her regality but also to symbolize protection and wisdom—qualities associated with snakes in Egyptian culture. The allure of Cleopatra’s snake-inspired jewelry continues today with the deBoulle Collection Serpent Cuff, a modern tribute to this timeless fascination. Crafted in luxurious 18K yellow gold, this bold yet refined piece coils gracefully around the wrist, evoking the protective and powerful symbolism snakes have carried throughout history.  Moving forward to the Victorian era, snakes experienced a resurgence in popularity thanks to Queen Victoria. In 1839, Prince Albert proposed to Victoria with an engagement ring in the shape of a coiled snake, symbolizing eternal love and fidelity. The ring featured an emerald, Queen Victoria's birthstone, as the centerpiece. This romantic gesture turned snake jewelry into a symbol of devotion, inspiring an entire era of snake-themed designs.  Today, snake jewelry continues to enchant with its timeless allure and rich symbolism. The deBoulle Collection Snake Ring with Diamond Coils is a modern masterpiece that pays homage to the enduring appeal of serpentine design. Crafted in 18K gold, this stunning ring wraps delicately around the finger, its shimmering diamond coils creating an air of elegance and mystique, making it a striking choice for those who appreciate meaningful and luxurious designs. Snakes in jewelry have transcended time and trends, with their form adapting to the tastes and styles of each era. From the regal armlets of ancient Egypt to the romantic rings of the Victorian period and the modern masterpieces of deBoulle, serpentine designs remain a testament to the enduring allure of this captivating creature.

The Fiery Legacy of Garnets  Myths, History, and Modern Luxury Throughout history, the garnet has captured the imagination with its fiery beauty and fascinating lore. Known as the “carbuncle stone” during the Middle Ages, the garnet’s deep, blood-red hue symbolized life, passion, and power. While the name may have changed over time, its allure has remained timeless. From the ancient world to modern times, garnets have been celebrated under various monikers, such as the Arizona ruby, Montana ruby, and New Mexico ruby. Yet, their appeal goes far beyond their striking appearance—garnets have been imbued with meanings and stories that resonate across cultures and centuries. The Medicinal Power of Garnet In ancient times, garnets were believed to possess healing properties, often prescribed by physicians for heart ailments. Its fiery color was thought to invigorate circulation and symbolize vitality. However, ancient wearers were cautioned about its potent energy—it was said that the garnet could heighten emotions, from passion to anger, and even lead to apoplexy, speechlessness caused by extreme anger,  if not balanced. These dual qualities made it a gem associated with strength and intense emotion, a perfect talisman for those seeking vitality and courage. Garnets in Religion and Spirituality The garnet’s vivid red hue lent it profound spiritual significance in various religions. In Christianity, it symbolized Christ’s sacrifice, reflecting the blood He shed for humanity. In Islamic tradition, the Fourth Heaven is described as being composed of garnets, a testament to their heavenly beauty. Across cultures, the garnet was revered as a gemstone of light, sacrifice, and divine connection. Legends and Myths of the Garnet Mythology is rich with tales of garnets. In ancient lore, dragons’ eyes were said to be made of fiery garnets, symbolizing wisdom and protection. One captivating story from Siam recounts how a serpent gifted a radiant garnet to a young king, illuminating the darkest room with its glow. Such tales reflect the garnet’s enduring association with mystery, royalty, and illumination. A Modern Marvel: The Vibrant Tsavorite Garnet While garnets are best known for their classic red hue, one of the most extraordinary varieties is the tsavorite garnet. Discovered in East Africa in the 1960s, this vibrant green gemstone owes its striking color to traces of vanadium and chromium. Unlike emeralds, tsavorites offer remarkable brilliance, durability, and clarity, making them a perfect choice for those seeking something unique and timeless.

Ethiopia’s youth face immense challenges: 41% of the population is under 15, yet literacy rates hover at just 68%, and secondary school enrollment is below 40%. Project Lily seeks to address these gaps by offering a vibrant space for children aged 4 to 18. This innovative library, constructed with Kubik’s modular recycled plastic bricks, will provide access to education, creativity, and community building—all while championing sustainable design. More than just a library, Project Lily is a symbol of hope and progress. It’s a place where youth can explore their potential, collaborate, and develop skills that will empower them to create a brighter future for themselves and their communities. Innovation and Philanthropy in Action At deBoulle, we believe that true luxury goes beyond exceptional jewelry and timepieces; it’s about creating meaningful change. Since 1983, we’ve built a legacy of excellence rooted in craftsmanship, integrity, and a commitment to giving back. “Giving back has always been at the heart of what we do,” says Denis Boulle, founder of deBoulle Diamond & Jewelry. “By supporting Project Lily, we are not only investing in Ethiopia’s youth but also demonstrating how innovation and sustainability can drive meaningful change. We are proud to collaborate with GIIG and Kubik to create a space that inspires learning and empowers a new generation of innovators.” Our $25,000 contribution to Project Lily reflects our dedication to innovation and philanthropy. By partnering with GIIG, we aim to create a lasting impact, proving that sustainability and education can intersect to change lives. Be Part of the Change The work has just begun, and there are many ways you can support this amazing initiative. GIIG and its partners are seeking additional match funders to amplify the impact of Project Lily, ensuring its success and inspiring similar efforts across Africa. You can contribute by making a donation, spreading awareness, or sharing the campaign’s message on social media. Use #ProjectLily and #GivingTuesday to help bring attention to this bold initiative. Your actions, whether big or small, can ripple out to create a significant change. Transforming Possibilities into Realities With Project Lily, we are not just building a library—we are creating opportunities, fostering innovation, and championing sustainability for future generations. By investing in Ethiopia’s youth, we are planting seeds of progress that will grow far beyond this project. At deBoulle, we’re honored to play a role in this meaningful journey, and we invite you to join us. Together, we can support a new generation of leaders, thinkers, and dreamers who will shape a brighter tomorrow for Africa and the world.

Welcome to June’s gemstone of the month, the spectacular pearl! June is here, which means warm weather, long sunny days, pool parties, and BBQs with friends, family, and loved ones. The pearl is the gemstone for June, and it is the traditional anniversary gemstone for both the 3rd and 30th wedding anniversaries. It’s time to look closer at June’s birthstone, the glamorous pearl. What is June’s Gemstone or Birthstone? Ranking 2.5 on the Mohs hardness scale is June’s gemstone of the month, the beautiful and translucent pearls. Most people identify pearls as being white or cream. Still, there’s actually a variety of other colors with silver, gray, and black being the most common, but also a variety of other color hues. Pearls are formed in oysters, in most cases around a small irritant. If the seed or irritant is placed there by a person, then the pearl is known as a ‘cultured’ pearl. However, if the pearl grows naturally without any assistance, it’s known as a ‘natural’ pearl. Pearl Facts and Symbolism Many cultures associate the pearl with the moon. Pearls were first written about back in 2206 BCE by a Chinese historian. In China, pearls are believed to protect the wearer from dragons and their dangerous fire-breathing attacks. In Europe, pearls symbolized innocence, modesty, and purity. All desirable traits in potential brides-to-be. The History of the Pearl While pearls form naturally without assistance, they can also be grown. The first record of a successfully cultured pearl was by Kokichi Mikimoto in 1893. The four main types of cultured pearls include Akoya, Tahitian, Freshwater, and South Sea. Some of the world’s most famous pearls include The Pearl of Allah, The Abernathy Pearl, La Peregrina Pearl, The Arco Valley Pearl, and The Imperial Hong Kong Pearl. The Best Way to Wear Your Pearl Jewelry Pearls are on trend right now and continue to make a big impression due to their ability to be worn in almost any situation or with any outfit. If you’re planning to attend a formal event or dressing up, then long pearl necklaces or a pearl choker paired with pearl earrings will create a showstopping effect. When it comes to everyday wear, then keep it as simple as possible. A paired-back pearl necklace goes with every outfit or occasion and will become a go-to choice for everyday wear. Remember, pearls will really pop when worn with darker outfits, but a little black dress and pearls is a killer outfit that’s hard to beat.
