Why Floating?

Traditional diamond settings use prongs, bezels, or channels to hold a stone in place. They work — but they also cover part of the diamond, block light from entering certain angles, and add visual weight to the piece.

A floating diamond is different. We precision-drill a hole through the center of each lab-grown diamond in our studio, then thread it onto a 14K solid gold jump ring. The diamond hangs freely — no prongs, no bezel, no metal touching the stone's surface. Light enters from every direction. The stone turns and moves as you move. The result is a diamond that looks larger, brighter, and more alive than the same stone in a traditional setting.

Every floating diamond is drilled by hand. It is a process that requires patience, precision, and a deep understanding of how diamonds behave under pressure. Not every stone survives the drill. The ones that do become something entirely new.
