The Process
1,000 Hours of Mastery
Creating a single-crystal diamond ring is an extraordinary journey that transforms raw carbon into wearable art through patience, precision, and uncompromising dedication to excellence.
Stage One
Crystal Growth
The journey begins in a precision-controlled laboratory where carbon atoms are arranged into a perfect crystal lattice structure. Using either CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) or HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature) methods, we grow large diamond plates over approximately 5 weeks.
- Temperature controlled to within 0.1 degrees
- 24/7 monitoring for structural integrity
- Starting size: 50+ carats
Stage Two
Laser Cutting
Using state-of-the-art laser technology, the rough ring shape is cut from the diamond plate. This is one of the most critical stages — a single miscalculation can shatter months of work into worthless fragments.
- Micrometer precision cutting
- Computer-guided for absolute accuracy
- Zero margin for error
Stage Three
Pre-Grinding
The rough-cut ring undergoes 300+ hours of grinding to achieve the basic shape. Diamond grinding wheels carefully remove material to create the inner and outer ring profiles.
- 300+ hours of precision grinding
- Diamond-on-diamond grinding
- Creating perfect ring profile
Stage Four
Hand Polishing
The most time-intensive stage requires 750+ hours of meticulous hand polishing. Master artisans use traditional lapidary techniques to achieve mirror-like surfaces on both inner and outer surfaces of the ring.
- 750+ hours of hand polishing
- Traditional lapidary techniques
- Mirror-finish perfection
Stage Five
Faceting
Each ring receives 118+ precisely calculated facets — more than double the 57 facets of a standard brilliant cut diamond. Every angle is computed for maximum light return and fire, creating unprecedented brilliance.
- 118+ precision facets per ring
- Computer-calculated angles
- Maximum brilliance and fire
Stage Six
Certification
Every completed ring is submitted to GIA or HRD Antwerp for independent grading and certification. The ring receives a comprehensive report detailing its 4C grades, dimensions, and a unique laser inscription for authentication.
- Independent third-party grading
- Full 4C grading report
- Unique laser inscription
