Alison Lou’s New Collection Uses Lab-Grown Diamonds and Resin

New York—Alison Lou has released the “Lumière Fine” collection, its first new full collection in five years.

The collection is described as a “refined reintroduction” to the brand.

Creative Director Alison Chemla, who is known for designing jewels that blend playful concepts with fine materials, explored light, movement, and modern elegance when building the collection.

“Lumière Fine was born from my fascination with the way light transforms materials, how it moves through unexpected textures and tones, bringing each diamond to life,” said Chemla.

Each of the 19 pieces has lab-grown diamonds that are either bezel-set in 14-karat yellow gold or drilled and attached via links.

While this isn’t Chemla’s first time debuting a collection with pieces made from resin, with the “Loucite” collection being the first, the material is presented in an elevated way in Lumière Fine.

There are two resin offerings in the

“I’ve always loved how resin reacts to light and color. It has a fluid quality but also a real depth. When you mix it with diamonds, it creates an amazing balance between classic and modern,” Chemla told National Jeweler.

“After seeing how much people loved our ‘Jelly’ hoops [from the ‘Loucite’ collection], I wanted to take resin to the next level, using it as a fine jewelry setting that embraces transparency, texture, and movement.”

The choice to feature resin in Lumière Fine was due to the quality of the material. However, the brand noted that the price of gold solidified its decision to focus on resin.

While gold was at $4,030 an ounce as of press time, Alison Lou hasn’t completely abandoned the material in Lumière Fine. Pieces like the “Twisted” hoops or “Dot” ear cuff are predominantly 14-karat yellow gold.

Lumière Fine includes rings, bracelets, necklaces, and earrings ranging from statement earrings to huggies and ear cuffs.

Pieces like the “Lumière” letter necklace and the “Orb” necklace and bracelet are strung on black silk cord, while the collection’s lab-grown diamonds come in a variety of cuts—round brilliant, pear, emerald, and heart.

The Lumière Fine collection retails from $445 to $6,200.

It debuted on Oct. 23 and is available exclusively on the Alison Lou website.
