Jan Korba reveals Ethereal Promise, the No. 7 AW-26 jewellery collection — ten sculptural pieces forged in 14K white gold, 18K yellow gold, and 950 platinum, each set with sustainable lab-grown diamonds capturing light in its purest form.
Zurich, November 2026 — The house of Jan Korba presents its No. 7 Jewellery Collection, Ethereal Promise — a poetic embodiment of devotion, purity, and continuity. Designed under the direction of Michael Korba, the collection is a study in restraint: a quiet declaration of permanence rendered in metal and light.
Comprising ten signature pieces, Ethereal Promise represents a dialogue between precision and emotion. Each creation — from the fluid line of the rings to the architectural stillness of the cuffs and pendants — is available in 14K white gold, 18K yellow gold, and 950 platinum, each material chosen for its character, its memory, and its endurance.
The defining element of the collection is light itself. Every piece features lab-grown diamonds, cut and set with the same discipline that defines the house’s philosophy. They are identical in brilliance to their mined counterparts yet born through a more responsible process — an expression of modern continuity, where purity no longer demands compromise.
“Ethereal Promise was built around a single moment — the instant light meets diamond,” says Michael Korba, Creative Director of Jan Korba. “It’s about devotion without excess. The connection between two elements — metal and light — becomes a metaphor for human connection itself. It’s an emotional architecture, nothing more, nothing less.”
Each piece has been refined with strict tolerances guiding every curve, setting, and polish. The result is a collection that feels sculpted rather than designed, where nothing shouts yet everything holds weight. “You can feel the balance when you hold it,” says one of the senior jewellers. “It’s not decorative. It’s deliberate.”
The name Ethereal Promise reflects the spirit of the collection: an acknowledgment of impermanence met with devotion to craft. It communicates romance without sentimentality, purity without fragility. In the tradition of the house, the jewellery resists trend and refuses display — its beauty revealed only to those who look closely.
“Jewellery has become loud,” Michael Korba remarks. “People have forgotten that intimacy is the highest form of luxury. We wanted to make pieces that don’t need to be shown off to be understood. You feel them before you see them.”
Each piece will be produced in extremely limited quantities, available exclusively through private appointment at the Zurich atelier beginning November 1st, 2026, coinciding with the house’s public appearance at Couture Fashion Night at The Circle, Zurich Airport.
With Ethereal Promise, Jan Korba continues to restore meaning to modern creation — proving that the future of refinement lies not in excess, but in the quiet confidence of enduring quality.
