Forevermark Diamonds Announces New Promise Campaign at JCK Las Vegas
The De Beers Group’s diamond brand Forevermark revealed its new Promise campaign on Thursday, May 29, at JCK Las Vegas.
Set to debut nationally on television, social media, and in print in the fourth quarter, the Promise campaign aims to inspire people to restore their faith in promises with a Forevermark diamond.
“Forevermark diamonds come with their own promise that they are beautiful, rare, and responsibly sourced, making them the ideal way to express our promises to one another,” said Charles Stanley, president of Forevermark, in a press release. “The campaign will connect emotionally with our consumers and reinforce the fact that Forevermark is a diamond brand available in any piece of jewelry, creating a demand for a broader range of pieces featuring Forevermark diamonds.”
The Promise campaign showcases the Forevermark diamond in classic, diamond-centric designs such as four-prong solitaire and three-stone round rings, round ear studs, eternity bands, line bracelets, and the Center of My Universe round pendant and ring.
