Inside the Atelier: How a Markezza Ring is Crafted
Behind every Markezz creation lies hours of rigorous artisanal craftsmanship. In our London atelier, master jewelers combine age-old bench techniques with precision casting and microscopic stone-setting.
1. Gemmological Stone Selection
Every journey begins with hand-inspecting hundreds of certified diamonds to isolate stones with exceptional crystal purity, symmetry, and life. Only stones meeting our exacting criteria are approved for setting.
2. Hand-Forging and Precious Metallurgy
Using 950 platinum and solid 18k and 14k gold alloys, our jewelers shape the shank, carve the collet, and balance the weight distribution to ensure lifelong comfort and structural integrity.
3. Optical Microscope Setting
Under 40x magnification, our setters carefully seat each diamond, gently coaxing precious metal beads or prongs over the girdle with surgical precision, ensuring absolute security and maximum light entry.
