Technology is transforming Pavé Diamonds to a second skin of endless sparkle & craftsmanship 

In the diamond business for four generations, the Mahomeds built Maison H after decades of polished-stone sales and contract manufacturing for nearly a dozen brands. Diamond procurement remains part of their offering. “We use a whole lot of technology, from the rough to the polish to the mounting. We have a process where we identify the thickness of gold and what’s required to make it stand out,” said Mrs. Mahomed.

“Historically, in one single piece, you had four to five sizes in micro-pavé,” said Mr. Mahomed. “Instead, we’ve created this very fluid, silky effect. With calibrated, sized diamonds, there’s not a single rough edge. In fact, if you rub any of our pieces against a piece of silk, they won’t catch.” In addition to polishing diamonds to calibrated measurements, the Mahomeds also scan each natural diamond and batch-sort for color and clarity.

Within the “Skin” collection, diamond sizes range from 0.9 mm to 1.15 mm, while gold thickness runs from 1.5 mm to 2 mm. Within each individual piece, however, the diamonds are uniform in size, with only a three- to four-per cent variance in gold weight. “For me, micro-pavé, skin diamonds, above all must be brilliant, comfortable and just have a wow effect,” said Mrs Mahomed.
