About Tolkowsky Jean Paul Tolkowsky is a member of the seventh generation of this family of diamantaires, who began working as jewellers at the start of the eighteenth century, on the border of Poland and Russia. In the 1840s, Abraham and his three sons moved to Antwerp, the centre of diamond manufacturing and technology. The Tolkowsky family started making jewellery for the nobility, but very shortly thereafter began to work closely on the technical side of diamond cutting. Abrahams son Maurice invented the diamond bruting machine, fundamental to creating a perfectly round stone, while Maurices nephew Marcel invented the Ideal Triple Excellent Cut, regarded universally as the supreme form for a modern round diamond.
In 1956, Abrahams great grandson Gabi followed the family tradition and became a master diamond cutter; he is widely acclaimed as one of the worlds greatest experts. In more recent years, he has been joined by his son Jean Paul. Together, father and son worked on the De Beers Centenary Diamond. Starting in 1988, it took three years work, in a secret underground location free from any vibration, to cut the 599 carat rough diamond, to create the 273.85 carat, 247 facet, largest D flawless diamond in the world. The Tolkowsky partnership also worked on the worlds largest polished diamond The Golden Jubilee a 755.50 carat rough stone, yellow brown rough, which was transformed into a 545.65 carat yellow-brown, brilliant cushion-cut stone, which was presented to the King of Thailand.
Jean Pauls vision is to turn these exquisite diamonds into the finest classic contemporary collection, with something to appeal to everyone from majestic three carat platinum-set solitaires, with delicate pav stones on the side, to striking pieces where the diamonds appear to float aloft 18 carat white gold settings. The launch of Jean Pauls collection combines the technical skills of one of the worlds leading diamantaires, with the sophistication and modernity that is Tolkowsky.
Every item from the collection is packaged in a hand crafted black jewellery case, which slides open to reveal on a velvet cushion that rises from the centre of the box- The Ideal cut diamond earrings, pendant or ring of your choice. Each item comes with a certificate that is signed personally by Jean Paul, to guarantee each diamonds quality, natural origins and ethical production.
The six collections are: SIGNATURE TUMBLING HERITAGE TWIST LOOP TEARDROP
