As the originator of the Floating Diamond in the mid-1980's, Paul Klecka's first designs presented the solitaire gemstone which appeared to float in necklaces and engagement rings which earned De Beers design accolades in 1990.

Soon after, he discovered that a line of these floating diamonds could be created by using shared prongs between each gemstone, and trademarked the phrase Sequence Floater™ to describe this application in his jewelry collections.

The latest development in this design journey is Lattiset™, where Paul Klecka creates a surface of gemmstones which is pavé-like but without the heavy cut up metal surrounding each gemstones -- instead each stone appears to float within the surface. In Lattiset™ the jewelry form itself is actually built from the lattice of stones and the illusory supporting metal.

In addition, the negative space between the gemstones becomes a prominent design element -- a theme that has resonated within the Paul Klecka repertoire since the origins of the Floating Diamond.

Utilizing the CAD process and designing with his mouse rather than a pencil, Klecka creates designs that are impossible to produce using traditional bench techniques.

Lattiset™ can be created with any shape gemstone in numerous array options, including round, princess, baguette and marquise in trio, quartet and quintet arrangements.
