Design: The Personalization of Diamonds and Jewelry

Creating diamond jewelry is a dream job to do. It touches a lot of disciplines like gemological knowledge, craftsmanship, design, philosophy, art, history, financial investments and more.

The diamond jewelry business is on top of the personalization trend. We can cut a diamond in two days by water pressure technology. All we need is a great piece of rough diamonds and the precise idea of the client. After, it can be laserinscripted with a beautiful message, like a love letter.

I love working with diamonds, but it's delicate. The material is so precious that the full concentration of the designer is needed. Processing diamonds is a genuine luxury business. It still makes sense for a lot of people in the industry to work entirely manually. At least, a finishing touch by the hand of the master is regarded as of added value.

High tech is assisting more and more in the process of creation. It takes a lifetime, to become a master in the disciplines of buying, cutting, polishing, setting and making of superior quality diamond jewelry. Places like Antwerp and Amsterdam have preserved the heritage of diamond art and craftsmanship.

Designers and Jewelers can make use of advanced tools. With this evolution, it is possible to meet the demands of modern customers.

Responsive 3D models allow the designer to plan the project in detail and optimize measures before making it. The customer is in control of the selection of the diamonds and the style.

Realtime-visualizations support communication with the clients and make changes possible without any efforts.

A bespoke product meets all the wishes of the clients and is unique. Therefore, it has a greater chance to survive generations of users. It can be called a sustainable business.

See below some of my bespoke diamond jewelry creations.

All diamonds are of exceptional character and beauty. I receive these diamonds from diamantaires in Antwerp. One of my sources is specialized in very rare Argyle diamonds. You also see Paraiba, Morganite and Emerald gemstones from established rewarded cutting houses.
