How Do Chopard’s Floating Diamonds Actually Work?
Guides
Look closely at a Happy Diamonds pendant and something seems wrong. The diamonds are moving. They slide, turn and catch the light every time the wearer moves, which is exactly the point.
- In Happy Diamonds the diamonds are not set but move between two sapphire crystals
- The same idea is used in pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets and watches
- At LUX-A-PORTER Happy Diamonds jewellery starts from 2,470 EUR and watches from 12,100 EUR
- Made in 18k ethical white, rose or yellow gold
The Short Answer
Each floating diamond sits in a small closed chamber with a sapphire crystal on both sides. Because the stone is not held by claws, it is free to move inside that chamber. It turns and slides as you move, and every movement shows a different facet to the light.
Chopard sums up the idea in one line.
Diamonds are happier when they are free.
Can They Fall Out?
No. The chamber is closed on every side, so the diamond moves but cannot leave it. That is why Happy Diamonds pieces are worn every day rather than kept for special occasions.
Which Piece To Choose
The pendant is the most popular first piece. It sits close to the neckline, exactly where the movement is seen.
