Rio Tinto is the premiere source for ethically mined diamonds from their Argyle mine in Australia and Diavik mine in Canada. Diamonds with a Story™ debuted in 2012 with the idea that every diamond has a story to tell; from the beginning it has connected, educated and inspired people with their beautiful diamonds.
Here is a closer look at the Camelot Collection by Matthew Campbell Laurenza for
Diamonds with a Story™.
"Diamonds With A Story and Rio Tinto are important as we have a unified belief in expanding the voice of designer jewelry and its story in the main stream market. I believe that our combined efforts will make difference in the way diamond jewelry can shape the jewelry industry."

About Matthew Campbell Laurenza
Infused with inspiration from countries
worldwide and his background in sculpture, jewelry and architecture, American
designer Matthew Campbell Laurenza blends experiences and cultures to produce
unique and distinctive jewelry designs.
Born in Colorado, Matthew lived in New
Mexico and Texas as a child before moving to Kentucky where he finished high
school. He began his studies at Savannah College of Art and Design pursuing a
degree in architecture and interior design. Realizing that architecture had
creative limits, Matthew transferred to Bellarmine College and adjusted his
focus to pursue a degree in Fine Arts with a specialty in sculpture. Although no
longer pursuing architecture, he applied the concepts of design and
construction to his sculpture projects and began to construct breathtaking
jewelry designs. “Every piece of jewelry is art. The carving of the wax, the
placement of stones, the use of color and texture, the profile—all of these
elements combine to create a miniature sculpture to be worn and become a part
of someone’s daily life.”
As a part-time expat for the last twelve
years, Matthew splits his time between Asia, the United States and the
multitude of countries he visits. His non-stop travel schedule means that he is
frequently in as many as five or six countries within a single month. As
Matthew travels, he makes time to see the sights, experience the local culture,
and visit the museums—all of which serve as a starting point for his designs.
The old adage that ‘history repeats itself’ draws Matthew to historical design
periods. The art deco, renaissance, modernism, arts and crafts and other
movements hold special appeal. “Artists are a product of their environment. We
are sensitive to what has come before us, and acutely attuned to what is
happening around us. My travels have informed and shaped everything I do and in
return, I bring a new point of view and an invigorated energy to the design
process.” Matthew uses these strong influences and blends them with modern and
refreshing nuances to develop opulent designs.
Matthew Campbell Laurenza’s woman’s
collection launched at Bergdorf Goodman in 2007 and was introduced shortly
thereafter at Neiman Marcus, Harrods, Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, and other
high-end luxury retailers. Today, the brand is in 36 markets and sold through
more than 100 retailers worldwide including cosmopolitan centers such as
London, Hong Kong, Dubai, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Paris, Tokyo, and
Moscow.
