De Beers Natural Diamond Masterclass

A closer look at what lies behind the sparkle, the De Beers Natural Diamond Masterclass brought together leading media voices, journalists and content creators for an intimate, hands-on exploration of natural diamonds. Held in March 2026, the experience welcomed personalities including Faye D’Souza and Larissa D’Sa, creating a space where curiosity, craftsmanship and the science behind one of the world’s most enduring stones could come together.

The masterclass went beyond simply admiring diamonds, inviting guests to experience their differences up close. From rough stones to polished diamonds, attendees examined how variations in size, shape, cut and colour influence the way each stone interacts with light. De Beers Group representatives also delved into the extraordinary geological journey behind natural diamonds, exploring their formation over billions of years, their rarity and the qualities that distinguish them from lab-grown alternatives. With conversations around craftsmanship, legacy and sustainability woven into the experience, the masterclass offered a more considered way of understanding natural diamonds — not just for their brilliance, but for the story, time and earth that make each one unique.
