NEW YORK - De Beers is proud to announce the unveiling of its new home in the USA on Madison Avenue in New York City.
The new two story 2,153sq.ft (200sq.m.) store, located in a town house in one of the most desirable locations in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, is at 716 Madison Avenue between 63rd and 64th streets.
The store design was developed to showcase the full range of De Beers’ timeless creations and highlight the peerlessly beautiful diamonds and craftsmanship of the exquisite jewellery whilst offering a more intimate and enhanced customer experience. It does feature, for the first time in the American market, a new and inspiring store concept, featuring a warm and elegant yet luminous and singular atmosphere.
Inside the store, the brand’s legacy as the home of diamonds since 1888 springs to life through its interior décor presenting a contemporary signature blending heritage features such as the signature etched glass of the brand, and a savvy interplay of noble materials, discreet partitions and statement furnishings. The entrance to the store features a unique natural rock crystal chandelier emitting a warm light which combines beautifully with the untreated oak of the elegant furniture and the rich textures of the fabrics. De Beers have partnered with the finest artisans to create this unique space – from the beautifully crafted curved wall around the stairs to the way the fabrics have been carefully set in place.
