Yellow Diamonds: Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week 2023

Yellow Diamonds on the 2023 Runway

Yellow diamond and white diamond jewelry graced many runways during the 2023 Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris that took place in July. As the ‘it’ destination for press and discerning high jewelry clients, the Week’s events saw an array of diamonds adorning Paris's most prestigious and luxurious hotels. Among the newest designs coming out of big jewelry houses, exquisite yellow diamond jewelry truly captivated and took a prominent position as a distinct trend.

In a dazzling display of elegance and innovation, renowned jewelry houses such as Graff—who built their legacy through working with the world’s finest yellow diamonds—Buccellati, and De Beers unveiled their latest collections, featuring the mesmerizing allure of yellow diamonds. These radiant stones took center stage by gracing De Beers's Metamorphosis collection, proving that yellow diamonds are undeniably en vogue.

As an approachable way to partake in the yellow diamond craze sweeping the high-fashion world, a combination of yellow and white diamond jewelry offers quite a wearable option for jewelry aficionados. Here are some of our favorite yellow and white diamond jewelry highlights selected from our very own collection.

Fancy yellow and white diamond hoop earrings

Overlapping Yellow and White Diamond Hoop Earrings

The double-layered hoop earrings feature a combination of 18k yellow and white gold as well as rows of yellow and white diamonds. The yellow diamonds set in yellow gold are the standout feature of these earrings, providing a vibrant “twist” to the classic hoop earring. With diamonds set on the inside of the back of the hoop, these earrings are magnificent from every angle. The omega or lever-back clasp makes for a secure and comfortable fit, ensuring durability and longevity for years to come.

With 16 diamond studded petals and a square radiant cut yellow diamond in the center, this necklace takes on organic forms and reflects the vibrance of the natural world. The radial, starburst shape emanates joy and strength, which is powerful symbolism when worn near the heart. Combining the fancy yellow center stone, white round diamonds, and yellow and white 18k gold elevates the timeless flower design, making this necklace both classic and contemporary. As a treasured family heirloom or a design worthy of the Paris Fashion Week 2023 spotlight, the starburst flower design overflows with emotion and celebrates the inspiration found in nature.

Outlier Trends

Other noteworthy trends that emerged during the 2023 Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris were joyful 1980’s inspired aesthetics from Boucheron’s More is More collection and contemporary takes on pearl jewelry from Tasaki’s collection that was “rooted in the reflection of the moon and sun in water.” 

Boucheron’s Creative Director Claire Choisne took to bright colors, bold contrasts, and unexpected form and scale to remedy anxieties brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic and to question our beliefs of high-end jewelry. By combining precious materials with more “innovative materials like bio-acetate and magnesium,” the Boucheron collection sparked a playful and uplifting aesthetic. 

For Tasaki’s Atelier 6: Nature Spectacle collection, “coral reefs, the ocean breeze, waterfalls in tropical forests, and the light on the waves were all exquisitely reinterpreted in meticulously cultured Akoya, freshwater and Tahitian pearls accented with a spectrum of gemstones and diamonds.” The Japanese pearl house’s collections were split into six themes that each reflected the beauty of the natural world and showcased Tasaki’s growing legacy of high pearl jewelry.
