DESIGN PRINCIPLES


Our principles of design are rooted in a blend of beauty and sustainability.


For us, sustainable jewelry means timeless design, sustainable materials, quality craftsmanship and simple care. For you, it means jewelry you'll treasure and want to wear for the rest of your life.


Our designs are an exploration of the formal rules and expectations of fine jewelry and a conscious attempt to challenge and break those rules and expectations - creating new and better ones along the way.


BIJOUX:


The Bridal & Gift Collections comprise tastefully simple, timeless jewelry items for brides and bridesmaids. We proudly introduce the concept of the "new 4Cs" in bridal jewelry - symbolizing Clarity, Conscience, Compassion, Commitment - the four truths that represent the DIAZ brand ethos that also mark the union that bonds giver and receiver.
Each piece is handcrafted in rhodium coated sterling silver and set with the finest precision cut created stones by Swarovski. Diamonds are not used because they are not well regulated and sales of the stones have been proven to aid terrorist organizations. Gold is not used because its mining is associated with human rights abuses and environmental devastation.


SOL COLLECTIONS:


The SOL collections adhere to the quintessential Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, characterized by asymmetry, asperity, simplicity, modesty, intimacy, and the suggestion of natural processes. Wabi-sabi aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is 'imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete'. It is not a designing style but rather a mind-set: living modestly, learning to be satisfied with life as it can be once we strip away the unnecessary - living in the moment. The SOL collections symbolize this mind-set, absolutely inspired by nature and natural elements.

The 'RE' Series is a limited edition upcycled jewelry collection that symbolizes the best 're' words: renew, refresh, respect, reinvent, rethink! Each piece is handcrafted from 100% reclaimed silver. In addition to not using virgin silver and unlike using recycled silver, by manually shaping and hammering each creation the polluting, energy-consuming processes of mining, melting and casting are avoided altogether.

The 'Bonsai' Series explores the hallmark of bonsai masterpieces that are free of modern influence and have a natural and unconstrained, almost accidental appearance. With wabi-sabi as a guiding principle, the harmony of nature and its universal accidents are celebrated in every piece. The melancholic beauty that exists in modest, rustic, imperfect, or even decayed items that communicate the impermanence of all things - the very aesthetic that is appreciated in Japanese bonsai - are the inspiration for this collection.

The 'Celestial' Series is inspired by a deep interest and curiosity for outer space and geological forms and features. The pieces are poetic and biomorphic and are an exploration of forms. Mysterious, awe-inspiring planetary silhouettes are the focal point of this Collection. Playing with light and shade allows the shadows and hollow spaces of the designs to speak just as forcefully as the solid surfaces do. The longer you look, the more you will see...
