The relationship between humanity and the elements of nature is an ancient concept. From the earth and rainwater, to solar power and air, these forces have shaped our existence for many years. Today, this connection is reflected not only in the beauty of our natural world but in innovative creations like the Skydiamond. Our Skydiamonds are made using the cleanest of Earth’s resources, echoing the harmony of nature and technology to form beautiful man-made diamonds like no other.
This unique process draws upon the four elements, earth, fire, water and air, to create ethical fine jewellery that honours both the planet and the universe.
Explore how nature in all her power is interwoven with the creation of Skydiamonds, and how the Elemental Collection draws inspiration from these natural forces to create statement gold rings and pendants that are hand engraved and set with a single Skydiamond.
Air: The Invisible Force of Direction
Air, a powerful symbol of change and movement, with its movement shaping landscapes and steering the course of nature. In the production of each Skydiamond, wind turbines are harnessed to provide the clean energy needed to power the technology, demonstrating how human innovation can work hand-in-hand with natural forces.
The Air Elemental Ring is a sleek, compass-inspired design, symbolising this invisible force. Its linked shank represents the unity of nature's elements, and the Skydiamond set in white rhodium reflects the brilliance of air’s power. Crafted from 14ct recycled yellow gold the disc is hand engraved and detailed with a high-polished and contrasting brushed texture, this ring embodies direction and movement, just like the wind and air around us.
Solar Power: Harnessing the Sun's Energy
Sun, the source of all life on Earth, providing the energy required for everything from photosynthesis to human technology. Skydiamonds are powered in part by solar energy, using the sun’s light to help create man-made diamonds that leave no mark on the planet.
Inspired by the sun’s vital role in life, the Fire Elemental Pendant Necklace is a radiant tribute to this life-giving star. Featuring a Skydiamind burning bright in the sky, thispure gold, hand engraved disc pendant is suspended on a 46cm chain, capturing the warmth and brilliance of the sun. The 0.068ct Skydiamond in the centre echoes the brightness of solar energy, reminding us of our direct connection to the universe.
Rainwater: The Life-Giving Cycle
Rainwater, a key part of the Earth's ecosystem, nurturing the land and sustaining all forms of life. In the process of creating a Skydiamond, rainwater is one of the essential ingredients, reflecting the importance of sustainability and our reliance on nature’s resources.
The Water Elemental Pendant Necklace, with its hand engraved wave-like design, pays homage to the fluidity and nurturing quality of water. This stunning piece, crafted from 14ct recycled yellow gold, features a high sun illuminating a rolling ocean. The Skydiamond at its heart sparkles like sunlight on water, symbolising both beauty and sustainability.
Earth: The Foundation of Life
Earth is our home, our mother. She exists in fine balance supporting a beautiful and complex web of life. The flora and fauna of this earth are in continuous interaction and collaboration, forever responding to the ebbs and flows of time. As humans we have evolved in a synchronistic dance with the living earth. Our cyclical stories are interwoven. For millennia, our ancestors have used rituals to honour our relationship to the earth.
The Earth Elemental Ring depicts a tranquil sun setting on a distant horizon - high polished sky and brushed gold below the horizon line, symbolising the grounding nature of the earth we stand on . Its delicate, hand-engraved design, inlaid with white rhodium and topped with a 0.048ct Skydiamond, echoes the calming and life-giving properties of the earth we cherish.
