In 2002, Schaffrath presented the Liberté®, a world first, thereby turning pretty much all the hitherto technical feasibility criteria of diamond jewellery making upside down. While the diamond is firmly positioned in conventional settings, the patented Liberté® setting system lends the stone total 360° freedom of movement. With breathtaking results: every tiny movement alters the diamond’s position, allowing it to dance in the light. Like a sparkling firework, light is reflected by the stone’s countless facets, shining in every colour of the spectrum and in every direction. It took more than 1,000 hours of development to perfect the Liberté® work of art.
