NEW YORK, USA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 October 2025 – On October 3, 2025, ‘A Diamond is Forever’ unveils its latest natural diamond campaign, Desert diamonds, with an immersive evening at ARTECHOUSE in New York City, celebrating the timeless beauty and individuality of natural diamonds.
The exclusive gathering welcomed Amanda Murphy, Amber Mark, Bliss Lau, Chanel Iman, Ciara, Edvin Thompson (Theophilio), Francesca Scorsese, Haley Kalil, Hilary Rhoda, Jameel Mohammed (KHIRY), Jessica Stam, Jules Kim (Bijules), Julia Fox, Kate Bartlett, Lorraine West, Lucien Laviscount, Lucky Blue Smith, Maggi Simpkins, Marvin Douglas (stylist to Bad Bunny), Mei Pang, Ambassador Penda Naanda of the Republic of Namibia, Roman Mejia (Principal Dancer, New York City Ballet), Sandrine Conseiller (CEO of Brands and Diamond Desirability, De Beers Group), Sergio Hudson, Stephanie Gottlieb, Teyana Taylor, Tiler Peck (Principal Dancer, New York City Ballet), Wing Yau (WWAKE) leading editors and visionary jewelry designers for a night of artistry, discovery and sensory exploration.
Desert diamonds mark a new chapter in the celebration of natural diamonds – honoring their earthly origin, rarity, and emotional transcendence as a symbol of love and identity across cultures. Drawing inspiration from the desert landscapes from which many of them originate, the spectrum of colors starts with warm whites and moves through to champagne tones and amber hues, a palette adorning guests on the night.
At the heart of the celebration was a curated exhibition showcasing natural diamond jewelry presented in a spectrum of hues — from warm whites to champagne, and amber and whiskey shades – from over 30 exceptional designers and brands. This distinctive color palette is already capturing cultural imagination — from red carpet moments to celebrity engagement rings.
On the night of the event, Amber Mark wore a Le Vian necklace, Le Vian earrings, and a Le Vian ring; Amanda Murphy wore a Le Vian pendant; Ciara wore a Premier Gem ring with Desert diamonds sourced from Botswana, Vice Versa studs, and a De Beers London necklace; Chanel Iman wore a Le Vian necklace; Francesca Scorsese wore an Aneri necklace; Haley Khalil wore Le Vian earrings; Hilary Rhoda wore Khepri earrings and a Khepri necklace; Indiana Woodward wore Khepri earrings; INJI wore a Le Vian bracelet and Aneri earrings; Jessica Stam wore a Le Vian necklace; Julez Smith wore a Le Vian necklace; Julia Fox wore a MUNNU The Gem Palace ring; Julia Hackman Chafé wore Aneri earrings, an Aneri necklace and a Le Vian bracelet; Kate Bartlett a Le Vian necklace and Aneri earrings; Lauren Wolfe wore a pair of Le Vian hoops; Lucien Lavinscount wore a Le Vian pendant and a Kay Jewelers ring; Lucky Blue Smith wore a Le Vian necklace, a Kay Jewelers pendant, a Kay Jewelers bracelet and a Kay Jewelers ring; Mei Pang wore an Aneri necklace; Megan DeAngelis wore a Le Vian pendant; Roman Mejia wore a Premier Gem necklace; Sergio Hudson wore a Khepri earring; Tenicka Boyd wore Le Vian earrings; Teyana Taylor wore a Grandview Klein necklace and a Grandview Klein bracelet with Desert diamonds sourced from Namibia; and Tiler Peck wore a Khepri necklace and Khepri earrings.
Across cultures and generations, natural diamonds in beautifully unexpected colors have inspired artists, designers and collectors who seek meaning and distinction in what they wear, and today more and more consumers are also looking for diamonds that are as individual as they are.
Set within ARTECHOUSE’s cutting-edge digital space, the evening unfolded as a multi-sensory celebration of natural beauty and modern creativity. Guests were greeted with wine from IBest Wine before embarking on an epicurean journey curated by chef Lorna Maseko of eKhaya, whose menu and cocktails reflected a spirit of creative exploration blended with exacting craftsmanship. The atmosphere was elevated by an original soundtrack created exclusively for the night by blending Afrobeats and Amapiano rhythms to reflect the campaign’s global spirit.
Sandrine Conseiller, CEO of De Beers Brands & Diamond Desirability, said:
“Tonight reminds us of the magic, myth and wonder inherent in the DNA of natural diamonds. Today’s consumers have a need to convey their individuality while continuing to honor their deepest bonds and connections with the ultimate symbol of love and self-expression, natural diamonds. Desert Diamonds – whether a style statement or worn every day, offer a modern take on these enduring gifts of nature.”

Hong Kong Disneyland Continues to Enhance Guest Experience Through Flexible Weather Adaptation Measures
From cooling facilities and shaded rest areas to flexible operational arrangements, the initiatives are designed to provide more choices and added ease for both guests and cast members during the summer months.
Additionally, HKDL has introduced an exclusive “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket Offer for Hong Kong residents. Guests can enjoy the park from 4:00pm onwards, helping them avoid the hottest hours or periods of heavy rain, with prices starting at just HK$480.
Guests are also encouraged to stay hydrated and explore the resort’s wide selection of indoor attractions and entertainment offerings during the hottest hours of the day.
Weather-Conscious Design for a Better Guest Experience
The guest experience is supported by the resort’s planning and operations through a combination of environmental design and infrastructure enhancements. Disney Imagineers use detailed studies of sunlight, temperature, humidity and wind, supported by advanced computer simulations, to assess conditions across different areas of the park and guide design decisions.
For instance, Wayfinders’ Table in Adventureland was designed with sun exposure and ventilation needs in mind. Through the use of hard roof materials and thoughtful airflow planning, the design helps reduce heat buildup while providing shelter from rain.
Canopies, trees and fans are also used for the outdoor stage show “Moana: A Homecoming Celebration” to provide shade and added relief. The park also preserves and plants trees more extensively to provide additional natural shade.
Enhancing Infrastructure to Adapt to Changing Weather Conditions
HKDL has strengthened its guest-focused infrastructure to help improve airflow and provide added cooling support in various summer weather conditions. Energy-efficient ceiling fans operate at entrances and ticketing areas, while upgraded axial fans enhance airflow in queuing zones.
The park now features approximately 860 fans, with mobile units deployed flexibly to provide cooling support where they are needed most, particularly in high-traffic areas. Portable air-conditioning units have also been added in select outdoor zones to further support ventilation.
Mist cooling systems are also available at multiple outdoor locations, while additional shade structures have been added to queuing and dining areas.
Over 40 free water dispensers are provided across the resort, with nearly half already upgraded to dispense water 50% faster, helping guests rehydrate more conveniently throughout their visit.
Supporting Cast Members Through Changing Weather Conditions
With cast member safety as a top priority, HKDL continuously reviews operational measures to support frontline teams working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Cast members are dressed in outdoor costumes made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics, while additional rest breaks, hydration support and access to cooling facilities are provided during periods of extreme heat and humidity.
The resort closely monitors weather conditions and proactively adjusts outdoor show schedules whenever Heat Stress at Work Warnings are issued.
Disney Ambassadors also distribute electrolyte drink powder and chilled water bottles to frontline cast members working in outdoor areas.
Cooling Fun with Pixar Summer Fest
HKDL integrates cooling moments into storytelling. Guests can conveniently transition between a wide variety of indoor attractions, dining venues and entertainment offerings located throughout the resort, helping the magic continue in changing weather conditions.
The newly launched “Pixar Summer Fest” invites guests to beat the heat with immersive entertainment. The “Pixar Water Play Street Party!” welcomes guests to join beloved Pixar characters in a lively water parade, offering refreshing fun as part of the festive atmosphere.
Guests can also chill out with refreshing Pixar-themed treats, including Lime Dole Whip with Pineapple Slush Float at Jessie’s Snack Roundup, Monsters, Inc.-inspired Mike Wazowski Ice Cream Bar, Toy Story Alien Ice Cream Bar, and Sulley-inspired Mint Chocolate Flavored Soft Serve. These playful creations offer visual delight and refreshing summer treats for guests.
Exclusively for Hong Kong residents, the “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket offers later entry to the park for just HK$480, allowing guests to enjoy an afternoon-to-evening “Pixar Summer Fest” experience.
