Behind the Scenes: Crafting the Blossom Multicolor Bezel Ring at Paloma Diamonds
The journey of creating a piece of luxury jewelry like the Blossom Multicolor Bezel Ring at Paloma Diamonds is a fascinating blend of artistry, precision, and ethical craftsmanship. This article takes you behind the scenes, detailing each step of the process from selecting the perfect diamonds to the final polish before the ring reaches its new owner.
Selecting the Perfect Fancy Color Diamonds
Our seasoned fancy color diamond experts take the first step into creating your Paloma jewelry pieces. The first step in crafting the Blossom Multicolor Bezel Ring involves the meticulous selection of fancy color diamonds. At Paloma Diamonds, we take pride in using only the highest quality, ethically sourced diamonds. Our gemologists carefully examine each diamond, considering its color, clarity, and cut to ensure it meets our exacting standards.
Matching the diamonds for the Blossom ring is a delicate process. Each stone must harmonize with the others in terms of color, shape, and size. This ensures a seamless and visually stunning final product. The chosen diamonds are then sorted and prepared for the next phase.
One of our gemologist Avi says 'The meticulous process of selecting the tone of the color for fancy color diamonds can extend from minutes to hours and debates among colleagues to ensure the right tonality, clarity, and size of stone is selected for the piece'.
Creating the Base of the Ring
Once the diamonds are selected, they are transferred to our skilled jewelers who begin crafting the base of the ring. The base serves as the foundation and is crafted from high-quality 18K yellow gold, and ethically sourced diamonds. The jeweler designs a structure that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and comfortable for the wearer.
Carving the Paves for Each Stone
The next step involves creating the paves, or small cavities, where each diamond will be set. This is a precise and intricate process, requiring expert craftsmanship. The jeweler carefully carves out each pave to match the size and shape of the corresponding diamond. This ensures that each stone fits perfectly into its designated spot.
Diamonds are not all the same so it's not possible to have a mold made for the jewelry piece. The craftsmanship that goes into creating a piece like this with seven stones is art.
Checking the Fit of the Stones
Before setting the diamonds, each stone is carefully checked to ensure it fits perfectly within its pave. This step is crucial to maintaining the integrity and appearance of the ring. Any adjustments needed are made with meticulous attention to detail.
Setting Each Diamond Individually
Setting the fancy color diamonds is one of the most delicate parts of the process. Each stone is placed into its pave and secured individually. This requires steady hands and a keen eye for detail, as the jeweler must ensure that each diamond is securely fastened while maintaining the overall design's symmetry and beauty.
The specific challenge for this particular piece is that the shapes of the diamonds are all different and the setting needs to highlight the colors and shine that each stone gives in the best way possible. We do a dim light and daylight test for this step.
Polishing the Ring to Perfection
After all the diamonds are set, the Blossom Multicolor Bezel Ring undergoes a thorough polishing process. This step enhances the metal's shine and the diamonds' sparkle, bringing out the full brilliance of the Blossom Multicolor Bezel Ring. The polishing is done with great care to ensure that the final product is flawless.
Packaging and Shipping
The final step in the journey is packaging the Blossom Multicolor Bezel Ring. At Paloma Diamonds, we use high-quality, eco-friendly packaging materials. Each ring is carefully placed in a luxurious emerald green arched box and inside a special fabric bag with packaging material around it that protects the jewelry during transit. The ring is then shipped to its new owner, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition.
