The Floeting® Diamond Collection
The Floeting® Diamond appears as if it is suspended above the ring, pendant or ear stud. Â
There is nothing on earth more radiant than the simplicity and elegance of a perfectly cut diamond. Which is why we have created a revolutionary new setting that puts absolutely nothing between the admirer and the diamond. Not even a single clasp.Â
