De Beers partnership in 1939 with the Gemological Institute of America, De Beers devises the industry’s first universal diamond grading system the 4Cs: cut, colour, clarity and carat. Frances Gerety, a young copywriter at the N W Ayer advertising agency, creates the timeless slogan, ‘A diamond is forever.’ Fifty years later, it’s recognized by Ad Age as the greatest advertising slogan of the 20th century, conveying the eternal meaning of a diamond.
De Beers Jewellers was formed in 2001. Celebrating diamonds as nature’s works of art, our designers begin creating distinctive pieces that showcase them in their perfect light.
The De Beers Institute of Diamonds is created for diamond selection and verification, before branding every diamond over 0.2 carats with the De Beers Marque and individual number.

The Diamond Route in Southern Africa launches, protecting the biodiversity of seven key destinations, an award-winning initiative that highlights De Beers’ role as a major force in conservation.
