What is the Floeting® Diamond?
A patented diamond shape and prong-less setting that took 18 years to develop and perfect. It erases centuries-old design and manufacturing constraints that required diamonds to be held with prongs or bezels. A micro groove laser cut under the Floeting® Diamond girdle means only the diamond– not the setting – is visible and it’s proven to be incredibly strong and robust.
Making headlines around the world
Trusted and licensed by some of the world's most iconic jewelry brands, Floeting® is inspiring headlines across the globe and soon to be available in 50 countries.
Considering purchasing your first Floeting® Diamond?
Here are some common questions about The Floeting® Diamond.
FAQs
How does The Floeting® Diamond work?
Instead of using traditional claws or a bezel to hold the diamond in place, the patented Floeting® setting uses precision engineering to securely suspend the diamond from below. A micro groove laser cut under the girdle means only the diamond is visible to the naked eye from the top. This maximizes light return through the stone, so the diamond can shine more brightly.
Is the setting secure?
The Floeting® setting has undergone extensive testing and is scientifically proven to be incredibly strong and robust.
How do I care for Floeting® Diamond jewelry?
Caring for a Floeting® Diamond requires similar care to other fine jewelry. Regular cleaning with a soft brush and mild detergent keeps it sparkling. We also recommend regular professional checks — especially for rings worn daily.
Is The Floeting® Diamond available outside of New Zealand?
Yes, you can purchase Floeting® Diamond jewelry from outside of New Zealand. The Village Goldsmith offers international shipping with calculated import duties and taxes at checkout. If you’re an overseas visitor or are planning on heading abroad, we can arrange for you to collect your Floeting® Diamond jewellery from any New Zealand international terminal, which will allow you to remove the 15% GST from your original price.
