Gets to Know Three Points about Snowflake Mosaic

Snowflake Mosaic ArtistDiamond is the item that every woman cannot refuse. Accessory made of the sterling Galaxy-like stone will make the heart of most women cannot help being touched - this is the charm of snowflake mosaic art.The snowflake mosaic was created by the mosaic master Alain Kirchhof and his partners, which originated in his cooperation with Jaeger-LeCoultre. More than 40 years valuable experience on jewelry mosaic qualifies him to apply it to watch techniques to create inspiring and unique jewelry watches. The unprecedented gem mosaic technique will add every watch sense of gorgeous and colorful beauty without doubt.Explanation on crafts of snowflake mosaic Before taking advantage of the technique, maters would firstly pick out the most appropriate diamonds for cutting and polishing, once the desired diameter and size for picked diamonds of thickness in the same level are achieved, then the second step comes – masters paved and inlaid individually the VVSI diamonds of 0.4 to 1.6 millimeters in the case of watch carefully. It is no surprise that someone think the complex and rigorous jewelry mosaic technique tests the skills of the masters every minute.The so-called Snowflake Mosaic is to cut several VVSI diamonds which have their size ranging from 0.5 to 1.6 mm firstly, and then put them snow-covered-likely on the case of watch uniformly and naturally, which would be felt supple and smooth after the mosaic progress is completed. Points that different from other techniques of Snowflake Mosaic reside on the application of high degree of aesthetic and mosaic art of the master, more points needed to gain distinct effect from other techniques are that the watch maker have to pick out diamonds of different sizes and pave them chicly and arbitrarily on the case to present smooth and nature method of arrangement, thus numbers and sizes of gems needed are not the same.
Characteristics of Snowflake Mosaic1. Value of the techniqueHandmade valueIn the era that machines popularize the producing area, pure handmade works would take on their particularly value. Because of the randomness and uncertainty of technique, not all workmanship are capable of the mosaic progress, the finished products thus becomes priceless.Artistic valueEmbedded flatly in metal, diamonds of different sizes would have brilliance as snow when in the sunlight.2. Disadvantages of snowflake MosaicTakes too much timeMosaic of the kind requires carefully layout and pure manual work, and it is accompanied with many difficulties in the producing progress, thus a finished jewelry or watch made by virtue of the method might need a long producing period. Therefore we can take regards that the snowflake mosaic itself belongs to haute couture.Low diamond price:Take the snowflake watch of Jaeger LeCoultre for example, it would be inlaid with diamonds whose size are ranging from 0.5 to 1.6 mm, when compared with the method of dense mosaic, it is of more small size of diamonds within the same area. Thus it is not that sufficient to recover the cost by skills alone.3. Distinction between snowflake and dense mosaic3.1 Things in commonBoth of the two methods frequently take advantage of round diamonds, every diamond is embedded independent in the metal to be arranged in a plane. Each diamond is took apart by metal, thus they do not belong to concealed mosaic.3.2 Different pointsEvery single stone is of different sizes, dense mosaic take advantage of diamonds of the         same diameter and arrange them in rules, while snowflake mosaic would use stones of different sizes and arrange them without rules, however, both of the two methods can form a plane finally.Dense mosaic is relatively regular and can be produced with calculating machine; while due to the irregular size of diamonds, arrangement of those precious stones need carefully thinking, designs and the exerting of personal ability.
