Meet The Inventors

Ian Douglas has been in the jewelry industry for over 50 years. Beginning his career as a New Zealand Jewellery Apprentice of the Year and going on to become many New Zealanders' family jeweler through the business he started with his wife, Christine Douglas. Later joined by Chris Benham, a former winner of the Jewlery World Award's (previously JNA) Young Leader of the Year. The creative team continues to push the boundaries of fine jewelry design and manufacturing, having won or been a finalist in over 20 national and international design awards. 

After over a decade of investment in research, development and through collaboration with experts such as Mike Botha, Grant Lumsden and many others - the team brought the Floeting® Diamond dream to life with a patented design platform innovation that won the 2022 Red Dot Award for Outstanding Product Design. 

We're a proudly Kiwi company rewriting the rules of jewellery design.

Our Floeting® Diamond—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 defy gravity.

The first to see the sun, New Zealand fosters a culture of innovation. The Floeting® Diamond was born out of a nation whose distance from orthodoxy has enabled innovators to create world championship racing cars, radical America’s Cup-winning boats, new generation rockets and renowned film and special effects studios. The team that brought the Floeting® Diamond to life represents those values and brings exuberant creativity, knowledge and passion for innovation to the jewelry industry.
