The Floeting® Diamond Studs
The Floeting® Diamond Stud Earrings
Rewriting the Rules of Jewelry Design
The Floeting® Diamond Platform — praised by Forbes as a ‘revolutionary setting’ and hailed by Idex as the ‘impossible new diamond setting’ — delivers what no one thought possible: true floating diamonds that appear to hover above the jewelry and defy gravity. The patented Floeting® Platform expands the boundaries of imagination, tradition and science in the jewelry industry, making previously unimaginable jewelry designs achievable.
Nothing compares to the elegance and purity of a brilliant cut diamond and the patented Floeting® Diamond showcases that beauty in its entirety. No claws, prongs or clasps, no overarching metal. The Floeting® Diamond Stud Earrings put nothing between the eye of the admirer and the diamond itself.
The Floeting® Diamond Stud Earrings can be made to order with a combined diamond weight of 0.50ctw, 1.0ctw, 1.4ctw or 2.0ctw for a pair. For total diamond weights above 2.0ctw, individual stud earrings or bespoke designs, please enquire.
Picture a diamond, floating free upon an ear...
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).
Unmatched Sparkle
The Floeting® Diamond’s patented cut features over 50% more facets compared to a standard round brilliant cut diamond. Light return is maximized so the diamond can shine more brightly - creating unmatched scintillation and sparkle.
Secure
The Floeting® Diamond setting was
perfected using a specialist space-age titanium alloy purpose built at one of the world’s premier micro engineering facilities where aerospace, surgical-grade heart stent and other specialized components are made. The patented setting has undergone rigorous testing by New Zealand’s Callaghan Innovation, a leading science and engineering institute, and is scientifically proven to be incredibly strong and robust.
Ethically Sourced
Floeting® Diamonds are sourced from one of the world’s largest, Responsible Jewellery 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.
The Floeting® Platform - a groundbreaking new way to hold diamonds in jewelry. 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.
