The Floeting DiamondĀ® patented setting enables the diamond to visually float above the jewellery in a secure setting that maximises light return so the diamond can shine more brightly. The FloetingĀ® Diamond has achieved the highest and most covetedĀ American Gem Society Triple Zero Ideal diamond grade. Each individual FloetingĀ® Diamond has a unique and traceable serial number.
An idea that could only have been imagined by The Village Goldsmith
At The Village Goldsmith we believe that true innovation is created when you are willing to go beyond the point that others may deem ātoo hardā. That through perseverance, passion, and creativity - what was once thought to be impossible, becomes possible. We respect tradition but are not bound to it. We look for creative opportunities and are forever curious. Itās this approach that enabled us to break the boundaries of traditional jewelleryĀ design and diamond setting to not only imagine but bring to life the vision of The FloetingĀ® Diamond.Ā
It took more than a decade to perfect the cut profile of The FloetingĀ® Diamond so it would maximise the diamondās light return to create unmatched scintillation and sparkle. A design as pure and clean as this leaves no room for imperfection. Which is why The FloetingĀ® Diamond has been engineered down to the micron level and extensively tested by Callaghan Innovation, one of the worldās premier science and engineering institutes, for strength and durability. The setting is proven to be over 20% stronger than traditional settings.

Inspiration for The FloetingĀ® Diamond came after decades of being asked by clients to design a diamond ring without claws.
"I stepped back from the traditional mindset of how to makeĀ jewelleryĀ and put all convention aside. I went back to basics. I imagined a hand, naked except for a diamond floating upon it.Ā The challenge then was how to connect the two, throw the conventional away and begin to dream of artful simplicity that forms a connection between the diamond and the hand.Ā TheĀ FloetingĀ®Ā Diamond was born.Ā
Ā I hope you love it as much as I do."Ā
- Ian Douglas, Inventor of TheĀ FloetingĀ®Ā DiamondĀ
