Christie’s hosts coloured diamonds exhibition in collaboration with Bahraini company A2Z for Middle East clientele

The collaboration in bringing this exhibition to the Middle East highlights the region’s growing interest in these natural wonders and celebrates the enduring bond between nature’s artistry and human craftsmanship

London: London-based auction house Christie’s has brought coloured diamonds to the forefront with The Allure of Coloured Diamonds, an exhibition hosted in Dubai’s DIFC in collaboration with A2Z, a Bahraini-based art and luxury advisory service. Emerging as treasured marvels, particularly in the UAE, the allure of coloured diamonds has captured the hearts of connoisseurs and collectors alike.

Leading this venture is Julien Vincent-Brunie, International Head of Private Sales, Jewels, Christie’s, whose expertise in the field lends an insightful perspective on the evolving search for and enduring appeal of coloured diamonds. 

From their historical significance in royal and state jewels to the technical intricacies of their grading, each diamond tells a story of time, pressure, and chance. Vincent-Brunie underscores the importance of choosing jewellery that speaks to one’s individuality, saying, “Our Middle East clients are extremely discerning – they understand the allure of these precious stones and the rarity along with the sheer beauty of the stones themselves. They are not afraid to wear coloured diamonds for the day and are extremely glamorous and fashion-forward in their own style.  Accessorizing with jewels is an extension of their personality.” 

The Sabbadini Emerald and Diamond set features pear-shaped cabochon Colombian emeralds, which are paired with sparkling diamonds to create a breathtaking ensemble. Equally captivating are the De Grisogono Orange Sapphire and Black Enamel Earrings, where the fiery glow of circular-cut orange sapphires is contrasted with the depth of black enamel. Perhaps the most awe-inspiring of all is the Stunning Diamond Flower Brooch, a stylized creation featuring pavé-set Fancy Pink diamond leaves and a cluster of brilliant-cut, pear, and marquise-shaped diamonds, totaling a staggering 63.66 carats.

Christie’s and A2Z’s collaboration in bringing this exhibition to the Middle East highlights the region’s growing interest in these natural wonders and celebrates the enduring bond between nature’s artistry and human craftsmanship.
