FROM LOOSE DIAMOND
TO LASTING LEGACY:
INSIDE THE ART OF BESPOKE JEWELLERY DESIGN
What rare gemstones or bold diamond cuts are you seeing as the ultimate status symbols for bespoke clients today?
We’ re seeing a move away from simply prioritising size towards rarity and individuality. Fancy coloured diamonds, particularly vivid yellows and pinks, continue to be highly coveted, alongside exceptional emeralds, rubies and unheated sapphires. In terms of diamond cuts, elongated cushions, Asschers and antique-inspired cuts are increasingly sought after, as clients appreciate their character and timeless elegance over more conventional choices.
How do bespoke tastes differ between clients visiting your Place Vendôme showroom versus your Dubai location?
While every client is unique, there are noticeable regional preferences. Clients visiting our showroom in Place Vendôme often gravitate towards understated sophistication, intricate craftsmanship and vintage-inspired details. In Dubai, clients visiting us are typically more adventurous with scale, colour and statement designs, embracing bold proportions and exceptional centre stones. Regardless of location, the common thread is a desire for pieces that are deeply personal.
Can you walk us through the stepby-step journey of turning a client’ s initial idea and a loose diamond into a finished heirloom?
The process always begins with understanding the client- their style, lifestyle and the story behind the piece. Once the centre stone is selected, we explore design concepts through sketches and CAD renders, refining every detail collaboratively. After the design is approved, our master craftspeople handcraft the piece, carefully setting the stone and finishing every aspect to the highest standard. Before delivery, the piece undergoes rigorous quality checks
