I wanted to capture the feeling of effortless beauty with the floating diamond collection. I was inspired by the imagery of falling raindrops during a shower, imagining them as diamonds floating delicately against skin. I remember playing with a design that would make the diamonds appear suspended in air, letting their sparkling brilliance take center stage. And I wanted something that felt personal, a piece that could be styled for any occasion, whether you're wearing jeans and a t-shirt, or heading to a special event.
At Graziela, each piece is thoughtfully designed with a focus on craftsmanship, quality, and timeless style. This guide will take you through everything you need to know about floating diamond jewelry, from the inspiration behind my designs to how to wear and care for them.
What Are Floating Diamonds?
Floating diamonds are set with minimal metal, creating the illusion that they are weightlessly suspended in air. This subtle setting style gives the diamond space to truly shine, emphasizing the beauty of the stone itself. The result is a clean, modern look that is both graceful and striking.
This style of setting is a combination of artistry and engineering. Traditionally, diamonds were set in heavy prongs, but as technology and craftsmanship have evolved, I’ve been able to refine my designs to minimize the setting and let the diamond take center stage. It’s a delicate balance, but when done right, the effect is stunning.
What Does a Floating Diamond Look Like?
Floating diamonds appear seemingly weightless, floating against the wearer’s skin. They capture and dance with light in a truly mesmerizing way. There’s nothing more timeless than a diamond, and when it’s given space to shine without heavy settings, the result is a contemporary piece that exudes sophistication.
Types of Floating Diamond Jewelry
Necklaces
The Small Floating Diamond Necklace is where it all began. It’s set on an adjustable faceted bolo chain, so you can wear it at different lengths – from a choker to an 18” necklace. This makes it perfect for any neckline and truly customizable to your look, whether you’re layering it with other necklaces or letting it stand alone as a statement.
Rings
I’ve expanded the collection to include rings that feature the same delicate, floating effect. The Floating Diamond Ring showcases how this setting works on a smaller, more subtle scale; adding that perfect touch to take you effortlessly from day to night.
Earrings
Floating Diamond Hoop Earrings bring a touch of magic, and complete any outfit. With diamonds appearing to float below the hoops, they cast a stunning sparkle to the face with any movement.
Quality and Craftsmanship
Quality is at the heart of everything I do, and it’s something that I learned from my grandfather, who was a bespoke jeweler. Growing up, I watched him create intricate, one-of-a-kind pieces with such attention to detail, and it’s that same level of care that I bring to my floating diamond collection.
What Makes Our Floating Diamond Jewelry Special
Each diamond in my collection is hand-selected for its quality. We use G-H color and SI1-2 clarity diamonds to ensure they shine with brilliance and that beautiful fire that catches the eye.
Crafting floating diamond jewelry requires exceptional skill. It’s not just about making the diamonds float—it’s about making sure they’re secure and that the design enhances their natural beauty. Our pieces are crafted in 18K gold, by people who are masters of their craft, resulting in a luxurious design that is also durable and timeless.
Caring for Your Floating Diamond Jewelry
It’s important to take good care of your floating diamond jewelry, to ensure it lasts a lifetime and always looks its best. Keep your pieces away from harsh chemicals like chlorine, and occasionally give them a gentle clean with mild soap and a soft cloth to restore their sparkle.
We recommend storing your jewelry in a soft pouch or lined box when you are not wearing them, to prevent scratches and damage.
At Graziela, we stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship. That’s why we offer a two-year manufacturing defect warranty on all of our floating diamond pieces. If you ever need a repair or adjustment, we’re here to assist you, ensuring your jewelry stays as beautiful as the day you received it.
