Kay Jewelers, the nation’s leading diamond retailer, and Le Vian, the heritage fine jewelry house favored by celebrities and known for transforming storytelling into style, debuts the Le Vian Desert Ombré Collection—a luxurious new assortment that captures the sun-kissed radiance and elemental beauty of the desert.
Sourced from the Earth’s most remote regions, the Desert Ombré Collection captures the natural rich ombre of 7 desert hues ranging from Nude Diamonds to Crème Brulé Diamonds, and Le Vian’s iconic Chocolate Diamonds. Made up of Le Vian’s patented precise mapping of an ombré of natural color diamonds, and crafted in 14k Strawberry Gold and Honey Gold, the collection offers bold style and sophistication paired with natural elegance and Le Vian’s signature craftsmanship. This launch arrives at an especially exciting moment, as Le Vian celebrates the 25th anniversary of its iconic Chocolate Diamonds and the 25th anniversary of its partnership with Kay Jewelers.
Exceptionally rare and full of character, fewer than 100 Chocolate Diamonds over five carats are known to exist worldwide, making each Le Vian Desert Ombré diamond a powerful symbol of authenticity and lasting significance.
Developed as part of an industry-leading initiative with the De Beers Group, the Le Vian Desert Ombré Collection continues Kay Jewelers and Le Vian’s commitment to preserving the legacy of natural diamonds while celebrating their rare and authentic beauty. Following the closure of the legendary Argyle Mine, which itself was located in a desert in western Australia, Le Vian now also sources its natural color diamonds from mines dedicated to responsible sourcing located in other remote desert regions around the world—continuing to honor the tradition of natural color diamonds.
“Kay Jewelers has long partnered with visionaries who share our passion for exceptional craftsmanship and storytelling through design, and we’re thrilled to unveil the Desert Ombre Collection in partnership with Le Vian,” said Julie Yoakum, president of Kay Jewelers and Peoples Jewellers. “Le Vian’s rich heritage and unparalleled expertise in natural color diamonds shine through in the Le Vian Desert Ombré collection—an extraordinary expression of artistry, rarity and refined beauty.”
“Desert Diamonds are nature’s masterpieces,” said Eddie LeVian, CEO of Le Vian. “They tell the story of the earth’s strength and splendor—born from natural forces whose beauty is unlocked through intricate artistry. We are thrilled to partner with Kay to share this new chapter in the evolution of Le Vian design.”
The Le Vian Desert Ombré Collection at Kay Jewelers features 14 layering friendly styles—including six rings, four earrings, two necklaces and two bracelets—with retail prices ranging from $1,299.99 to $7,999.99.
The assortment is now available in-store and online at Kay Jewelers, with nine exclusive online-only pieces. For more information on Kay Jewelers, please visit kay.com.
