03 / Our Craft
From stone to setting.
Precision begins with understanding the stone. From the first cutting decisions to the final setting, proportion, light and the experience of wearing a piece guide the work.
Five stages / From stone to setting01 / Study
Begin by looking closely.
A finished diamond is considered through more than a single measurement. Its outline, proportions, color and clarity each contribute to its character, and to the design it can become part of.
Our perspective brings these details together with scale: how a stone reads on the hand, how it sits within a silhouette, and what gives it presence.
02 / Cut
Giving light a shape.
Cutting establishes the stone’s outline and the arrangement of its facets. Angles and proportions work together, influencing the path of light through the diamond and the way it returns to the eye.
Polishing refines each surface. This close work asks for consistency across the stone, bringing the planned form into a precise, finished whole.
03 / Light
Every facet has a part.
The character of a cut becomes apparent as it moves. Brilliant cuts break light into lively flashes; step cuts reveal broader, more orderly reflections through long, flat facets.
We consider this movement alongside the outline. It helps us choose a stone for the expression of the design, from the immediacy of a brilliant to the measured rhythm of an emerald cut.
Brilliant facets
Many smaller reflections create brightness, fire and changing flashes as the stone moves.
Step facets
Long, parallel facets create broad reflections and a clear sense of depth.
04 / Setting
The setting is part of the design.
Precious metal gives the stone its place within a piece. The relationship between the diamond, its supports and the band shapes both the visible silhouette and the profile against the skin.
We consider the setting from more than one angle: how much metal is seen, how the stone is framed, and how those proportions feel when worn.
05 / Wear
Details you live with.
A finished piece is considered in relation to the body: its scale, the feel of its surfaces and the way its form follows an ordinary gesture. The final measure of the work is how naturally it becomes part of your day.
The warmth of the metal, the profile of a setting, the character of a stone. Each detail leaves room for your own way of wearing it.
