Crash.club by CKC unveilsĀ ring crafted entirely from a single LGD, eliminating any metal setting
crash.club by C Krishniah Chetty (CKC) Group has successfully completed a challenging three-year research and development project, culminating in the creation of a ring crafted entirely from a single lab-grown diamond, completely eliminating the need for any metal setting. This breakthrough was initially sparked by a client’s query about designing a ring without gold, a challenge the team readily accepted. The result is a remarkable 7.93-carat faceted diamond band formed exclusively from the stone itself.
This achievement required the CKC team to redefine their approach, moving from conventional gem-cutting to viewing the diamond as a precision-engineered crystal. According to Executive Director Chaitanya V Cotha, the project was split into phases: a year of focused research, a second year of intensive experimentation, and a final year dedicated to microscopic refinement. They utilized a single-crystal CVD-grown diamond, carefully mapping its atomic orientation and modeling every curve to ensure even pressure distribution and prevent cleavage planes from intersecting stress points.
Ultimately, the successful creation of this metal-free ring stands as a powerful testament to CKC’s commitment to innovation. It demonstrates that through meticulous engineering and a willingness to pursue improbable ideas, they can achieve a structure where the diamond’s inherent beauty and strength naturally coexist without compromise.
