Diamond

Crystallised carbon, the hardest of all known substances. A diamond is pure colourless carbon used in jewellery, where it is cut into facets to increase its brilliance. It is used in watchmaking to decorate bracelets, cases, bezels etc.

Melody Diamond

The "Melody Diamond" was invented by Belgian-born Gabriel S. Tolkowsky and is a process by which the reflection of the light of each diamond is transposed into music. The melody produced by each stone provides gemmologists with a fresh tool for identifying stones.

GOLden Diamond

This new form of diamond is not actually a diamond but a gold fragment that has been specially treated to enhance its resistance and faceted exactly like a natural diamond. This "stone" can be yellow, pink or white and, when subjected to complicated surface treatments, other colours of such a high polish that the light is reflected like a mirror.

The process involved in achieving such a look is highly complicated and it took no fewer than two years of experiments and testing by Chopard's scientists to give concrete shape to Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele's idea. A striking achievement. The jewellery made from these "Golden Diamonds", clustered with other precious stones, is of the sort seen only among the treasures of the maharajas or the Tower of London .... at today's prices.
