In collaboration with De Beers and designer Paul Barry, we produced a catalogue for the De Beers Bridal collection defined by precision, clarity and considered detail, allowing the jewellery to take centre stage.

As an integral part of the project’s initial development phase, our team advised on material selection and explored refined print finishes and subtle detailing. Through a disciplined prototyping process, we carried out a series of proofing tests to determine the optimal balance of substrates, inks, colour tones and finishes, ensuring consistency and control at every stage.

The final specification combined delicate, tactile materials with a custom-mixed pale pink ink, clear gloss foil detailing, embossed elements and accurately reproduced full-colour photography. The result was a beautifully resolved publication that became an essential part of the bridal presentation across the De Beers global boutique network.

A carefully crafted piece, designed to reflect the standards of the brand it represents.
