The Craft

Chapter 03

Every Diamonds in Glass element demands craft control, patience and a deep understanding of glass.

The diamond is integrated into the object while the glass is formed, instead of being inserted afterwards. A patented process from Austria, made in precise handwork.

The process

Four steps, an object without a setting.

Selecting and checking the stone with tweezers
01

Schritt 01

The stone first

Every diamond is selected, checked and positioned exactly. What is decided here cannot be corrected later.

Schritt 02

Forming in fire

The glass is formed in the fire. Temperature, shape and transparency must interact precisely while the stone finds its place.

Schritt 03

Enveloped by glass

The diamond is enveloped during forming. This creates the effect of a stone that seems to float in the glass.

Schritt 04

Checked by hand

After cooling, every element is checked individually for optical purity, balance and the exact integration of the stone.

Three forces

Stone, glass and fire, in the same moment.

The stone

Real, checked, set exactly.

The glass

Optically pure, formed into a stage.

The fire

Temperature, timing, precision.
