Love, Light, and Legacy: Jacob & Co. Unveils the $3.4m Angel Cut Diamond Watch
Forget everything you thought you knew about diamonds being just…sparkly. Jacob & Co. has decided to flip the script—and in true high-drama fashion, it’s not just about shine anymore, it’s about storytelling carved in stone. To mark its 40th anniversary, the maison introduces something that feels less like a gemstone and more like a manifesto: the Angel Cut. Not a remix. Not a tweak. A full-blown reinvention of how a diamond catches light—and attention.
The Angel Cut is defined by its distinctive lozenge-shaped table within a rectangular form with cut corners, designed to precisely control the movement of light. This unique geometry creates a refined, dimensional glow rather than intense sparkle, resulting in a look that is fluid, balanced, and architectural.
Meticulous calibration of crown height, pavilion depth, and facet alignment enhances internal reflection while ensuring even light distribution. By minimizing extinction and softening contrast, the cut produces a seamless, continuous radiance. Its sophisticated optical performance makes it especially effective in low-light settings, such as diamond-set watch cases, where consistent luminosity is essential.
At the heart of this innovation is Jacob Arabo himself. The Angel Cut isn’t just a technical flex; it’s a love letter. Inspired by his wife Angela, the design holds exactly 37 facets—a subtle, intimate nod to their 37-year journey together. In an industry obsessed with carats and clarity, this is something rarer: emotion engineered into geometry.
It’s this duality—precision and passion—that gives the Angel Cut its edge. It exists at the intersection of science and sentiment, where cold, calculated angles somehow translate into warmth, memory, and meaning.

Pandora Adds Carbon Footprint Labelling For LGDs
New Level Of Transparency Empowers Consumers To Compare Climate Impact Of Their Diamond Jewellery
For decades, diamonds have been graded by the traditional 4Cs: Cut, Colour, Clarity and Carat. Now Pandora is adding the 5th C, declaring the carbon footprint of every Pandora Lab-Grown Diamond as part of the product information on pandora.net alongside the traditional four grading criteria.
The carbon footprint covers all emissions from the diamond crafting process: from producing the raw materials used to grow the diamond all the way until it is cut and polished, ready to leave the diamond facility.
As an example, a one carat Pandora Lab-Grown Diamond has 12.58 kg of CO2e emissions. This is around 90% lower than a mined diamond of the same size.
By adding carbon footprint to the diamond conversation, Pandora gives customers an extra point of comparison and essential insight into the climate impact of their desired diamond jewellery.
CARBON FOOTPRINT COMPARABLE TO A PAIR OF JEANS
Lab-grown diamonds are chemically, optically, thermally and physically identical to mined diamonds.
Pandora stopped using mined diamonds in 2021 and is now only using lab-grown diamonds made with 100% renewable electricity and set in jewellery crafted from 100% recycled silver and gold.This significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds collection. For example, a 14k gold Pandora Infinite ring with a 1 carat lab-grown diamond has a comparable carbon footprint to a pair of jeans.
PANDORA TO SHARE FINDINGS
The carbon footprints of Pandora’s lab-grown diamonds have been calculated by external life-cycle assessment experts and published in a study verified by auditing firm EY. The study uses best practice methodology and is available on pandoragroup.com.
Adding a 5th C is a response to increasing consumer expectations to sustainability, and Pandora will share its methodology and findings with other jewellery makers to inspire greater transparency across the sector.
Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds are currently available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark with more countries to be added soon.
