An entirely new way to set diamonds without claws, prongs or bezels – creating a new standard for elegance in diamond jewelry.
The Floeting® Platform - a groundbreaking new way to hold diamonds in jewelry
For generations, jewelers around the world have been asked to design a way to hold and showcase a diamond without prongs, claws or bezels.
Under traditional jewelry manufacturing methods, this was never possible. The patented Floeting® Diamond setting now allows the diamond to appear as if it’s hovering above the ring, pendant or earring – making previously unimaginable jewelry designs achievable.
Globally Recognized Industry Breakthrough
Judges stated “Less is more – this formula fully applies to the jewelry series The Floeting® Diamond...The focus is on sparkling diamonds, set in a way that the entire attention is drawn to the brilliance of the gemstones.”
“Perfection is achieved when there’s nothing left to take away” – Red Dot Design Award 2022 judges referencing Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s dictum to describe the Floeting® Diamond.
Unmatched Sparkle
The Floeting® Diamond's patented cut features over 50% more facets compared to a standard round brilliant cut diamond, maximizing light return so the diamond shines more brightly.
Secure
The Floeting® Diamond has undergone rigorous testing by New Zealand's Callaghan Innovation, a leading science and engineering institute. The Floeting® Platform is scientifically proven to be incredibly strong and robust.
Certified
A design as pure and clean as this leaves no room for imperfection. Precision-engineered to a micron level, each individual Floeting® Diamond larger than 0.50ct is assigned a unique and traceable serial number. The Floeting® Diamond has achieved the coveted “Ideal Cut” certification from the Gem Certification & Assurance Lab (GCAL) and the GIA’s Triple Excellent (ExExEx) grading. Additionally, it also achieved AGSL’s Ideal Cut grade prior to its merger with GIA. The cut grade evaluates Light Performance (optical brilliance and optical symmetry), Finish (polish and external symmetry), and Cut Proportions (table size, depth %, crown angle, pavilion angle, and girdle thickness).
Ethically Sourced
Floeting® Diamonds are sourced from one of the world’s largest, Responsible Jewelry Council-certified diamond cutting facilities. The diamonds are meticulously tracked from mine to finished jewelry and guaranteed to be ethically sourced and fully compliant with The Kimberley Process.
