'Each piece either begins with an exceptional centre stone that we have sourced or cut, or with a series of initial sketches and gouache designs that define the vision. From there, we source each diamond globally, one by one, to ensure a perfect match in terms of ratio, colour, and overall harmony. This process often takes our team across the four main diamond centres of the world, where we maintain a presence to carefully select the right stones. In some cases, we even recut certain diamonds to achieve absolute precision in proportions – because the difference truly lies in the details, and that is what makes a piece exceptional rather than simply very good.Once all the stones are gathered, matched, and certified in New York, the Antwerp workshop begins the meticulous process of handcrafting the piece in platinum or gold. Every element is refined with extreme care to achieve structural balance, fluidity, and elegance. No piece ever leaves the workshop without being personally examined and approved by me, ensuring it meets the level of precision, harmony, and excellence that defines LEVUMA.'
