Our Craftmanship

Every individual piece starts as a rough sketch. Once accepted by our in-house design team, the sketch is developed into a detailed colour drawing on chalkboard paper.

This painting, an art in itself, is then transformed into a technical drawing complete with the full specifications required to create a true masterpiece.

Next, our craftsmen plan the optimal way to bring the concept to life. The jeweller will create the mount by shaping different components that fit perfectly together, a process that is all about craftsmanship. Everything is created directly from the metal: no lost wax techniques and no casting.

The essence of smithing is teamwork: the goldsmith and diamond setter work closely throughout to make sure the mounting is set to the very highest standard to achieve a perfectly balanced aesthetic.

Diamond setting remains a true craft for DAEMS GIOVANNI – and encompasses far, far more than simply securing precious stones into jewellery. It takes a huge amount of time and effort to create the perfect balance: displaying the full beauty of gemstones, holding them securely in place, and using the minimum amount of metal. Our highly experienced setters have the expertise to set every stone perfectly, regardless of size. Along with our advanced patented technology, it is this unrivalled level of human skill that distinguishes our work from that of our competitors.

At each stage of the assembly process, the various components of the mounting are pre-polished to bring maximum shine to every visible surface. Once all pieces are united and the mounting is set and finished to the finest detail, the rare skills of our jewellery polisher create the unique, perfect brilliance that is the signature of a Daems masterpiece.

Quality control sits at the heart of everything we do. Our strict ‘no compromise’ policy ensures that every piece is microscopically checked at each stage. Any rare anomaly must be corrected by the relevant craftsman before the piece can continue its journey.
