The “Floating Diamonds’ setting is where the diamonds are encased in a layer of pure carbon, with a high-end finish. This unique setting brings out the full lustre and brilliance of the smallest of diamonds, making the diamonds seem as if they are ‘floating’. In the clear colour of the setting, this allows all the facets of the diamonds to shine brilliantly and catch the light. This setting is also available in several colours, including black, blue, green, red and pink.
Uncovered by the usual metal prongs in other settings, this reduces the use of gold, which allows the jewellery to be of a lower weight and also at a better price.
The setting is extremely durable and protects the diamonds more than the traditional setting.
The use of many small diamonds, set close together to give the illusion of a larger diamond - this overall look allows the customer a better price for a similar look to buying larger diamonds.
The ‘floating diamonds’ setting was patented by Blue Diamonds Jewellery Worldwide in 1990 and is used to manufacture our own brands as well as make products for our customers worldwide in their own designs. We offer a lifetime warranty for the setting.
