From fascination, from perseverance.

A worldwide patented idea from Austria that holds the diamond in light instead of metal. The maison in three chapters.

The origin

diamonds in glass® beginswith an early fascinationfor the quiet powerof special objects.

The brand unites the emotional world of classic jewellery culture with a modern, patented form of presentation. From perseverance and an understanding of materials a new category emerged between jewellery, material innovation and design object.

The workshop

The glass sphere is made by hand, in Austria.

The materials

Seven alloys, one setting.

Every piece of the collection is made in seven alloys: yellow, white and rose gold, each in 14 and 18 carat, plus platinum. The choice does not change the shape, only the tone in which the glass is set.

The process is patented. The glass sphere is made by hand in Austria, the gold setting in India, where goldsmithing has been at home for generations and ranks among the best in the world. Every piece carries its own number and a certificate recorded in the authenticity register.

The founders

From one generation to the next.

What began as a family fascination for real materials is carried on today by founder Natascha Schenk, with her daughter Malaika Schenk as designer of the Aurora Collection. From the wish to free a real diamond from its classic setting a category of its own emerged: patented, the glass made by hand in Austria.

In the atelier

Between sketch and stone.

Every piece begins on paper and ends under the loupe. In between lies handcraft: the glass in Austria, the gold with goldsmiths in India.
