Zales has announced the addition of Nungu Diamonds and Dorian Webb to its Designer Edit, a curated collection that highlights both established and emerging jewelry designers.
This initiative is aimed at diversifying the brand’s offerings and aligning with consumer preferences for unique and meaningful jewelry pieces.
Nungu Diamonds
Nungu Diamonds, a Black-owned brand based in Johannesburg, South Africa, is one of the newest additions. Founded by Kealeboga and Ursula Pule, the brand is committed to supporting local communities through its jewelry business.
The Zales x Nungu collection features necklaces, earrings, and rings crafted in 14K yellow and white gold with natural diamonds. Prices range from $1,499 to $4,799. This collection is inspired by the founders’ personal love story and aims to highlight the symbolic beauty of natural diamonds.
Dorian Webb
The second new collaboration is with Dorian Webb, an acclaimed California-based designer known for creating jewelry that celebrates women and African American culture. The Zales x Dorian Webb collection includes rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets in 14K yellow gold with natural diamonds. Webb’s designs are characterized by their asymmetrical compositions and textural contrasts, intended to foster connection and conversation. Prices for this collection range from $899 to $4,799.
Expansion of Existing Collaborations
In addition to the new partnerships, Zales is expanding its collaboration with designer Shahla Karimi. The Zales x SHAHLA collection, which launched earlier this year, will now include new fashion styles. Inspired by architecture and urban landscapes, these pieces are available in 14K yellow and white gold with lab-created diamonds, priced between $950 and $7,490.
