The setting that set diamonds free

The setting that set diamonds free

People said you could not bring new ideas to something as old as the wedding band. Jean Vitau delighted in proving them wrong. His setting suspended each diamond in a clean line of light — secure and snag-free, beautiful from every angle — with nothing to catch and nothing to dull it, only the gem itself.

The idea was engineering in service of light. Where a traditional channel grips the stone and shadows its pavilion, the Gemlok setting holds from beneath, letting the diamond breathe. Jewelers noticed first; the people wearing them noticed forever.

That same curiosity still runs the bench today. Every piece is made by hand in New York, and every old idea is an invitation to reinvent.
