Ernst Jones has announced the launch of its exclusive collection of traceable diamonds – the Leonardo Da Vinci Cut.
The new collection is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s work on the ‘Golden Ratio’, also known as the divine proportion. It is a mathematical equation (a/b=1.618), commonly found in nature and universally believed to be the formula to “beauty and perfection”.
Leonardo da Vinci used this ‘Golden Ratio’ to create his 60 illustrations for Luca Pacioli’s ‘De Divina Proportione’.
The unique cut maximises the characteristics of the 100% natural diamond, presenting as many 57 facets – whereas a round brilliant-cut has 58.
This creates a distinct pentagon that radiates a “kaleidoscopic effect of three stars that are visible to the naked eye”.
The collection includes 28 stunning pieces including solitaires and diamond halos. There are also trilogies and diamond earrings and pendants. All of the pieces were handcrafted using recycled platinum and 18k gold.
A certificate is also included with every Leonardo Da Vinci Cut to ensure its origin and ethical production.
Gemological Science International certifies each stone as Triple Excellent for its cut, symmetry, and polish to meet the high quality standards.
The blockchain allows you to trace every diamond back to its origin country.
