Diamonds Are Everywhere.
Designers have fertile imaginations and are constantly coming up with new ideas to showcase diamonds.
The latest concoction is "Diamond In A Glass".
Deidre Woollard of Luxist writes of a unique idea by Natascha Marx and glass artist Tobias Berger, that of diamonds that are suspended in glass to create Diamonds in Glass.
This idea can be extended to luxurious stemware, caviar dishes, napkin rings and ashtrays as well as jewelry items like rings and bracelets. There are two main types: the pure, which has the diamond in clear glass, or the black edition, where the backside of the diamonds is embedded in black colored glass and the diamond has the diamonds against black velvet effect.
The pieces are made of borosilicate glass which has a melting point of around 1200 ºC, (diamonds burn at a temperature of about 800 ºC). The glass blower introduces the diamond into the viscous glass mass and places it in the desired position.
These pieces are quite expensive with prices starting at about 1620 euros for a small glass.
You can see more of these creations at the Diamonds In Glass Website
I'm curious as to what Cut Quality, Color and Clarity diamonds are being used and if you can specify these as well as the diamond shape you want.
Check out the Cufflinks! My favorite!
