Nathalie Emmanuel stars on Only Natural Diamonds third print edition magazine for spring 2024.

“Nathalie Emmanuel’s star has been on a constant ascent since delivering iconic roles as Missandei in ‘Game of Thrones’ and Ramsey in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise,” said Sam Broekema, Only Natural Diamonds editor in chief. “A feminist warrior, Emmanuel’s personal romantic punk style has been passed down from her grandmother and perfectly expresses those modern heirlooms we want now.”

The issue centers around the theme of heirlooms, both personal and historical, while exploring the timeless allure and emotional resonance of real natural diamonds. “Whether you have inherited a collection of vintage jewelry or are at the start of the magpie’s odyssey, you can be sure that the natural diamonds in all these pieces have sparkled for generations before you and will continue to shine for generations to come,” he said of the issue heirloom theme.

Photographed by Andrés Jaña and styled by Alexandra Mandelkorn, the striking cover sees Emmanuel looking powerful while donning unique mix natural diamond jewelry from Maria Tash, Mindi Mond, Tiffany & Co., Sorellina, Hype Park Jewelers and Ten Thousand Things. “As Maggie Morris wrote in her profile of Emmanuel in the issue, she has unequivocally earned her position as a crown jewel among today’s iconic stars,” Broekema said.

Other stories in the magazine include an in-depth look at rare, exceptional diamond provenances throughout history, the transformation and global impact of the natural diamond industries of Botswana and the Northwest Territories of Canada, and, as always, some of the most dazzling diamond jewelry trends of the season.
