Diamantbesetzte

Diamantbesetzte is a German term used to describe objects, typically in jewelry and luxury watches, that are set with diamonds. The phrase functions as a descriptive label rather than a formal category, and it can refer to an entire piece or to specific components such as a diamond-set dial, bezel, bracelet, or case.

Diamonds are usually set in precious metals like gold (yellow, white, or rose) or platinum. Common setting techniques include pavé, where many small diamonds are set closely together with shared prongs or beads; prong or claw settings, which secure individual stones with metal extensions; bezel settings, where the diamond is surrounded by a continuous metal rim; and channel or bar settings for inline rows of stones. The chosen setting affects sparkle, security, and wear.

The term diametbesetzt describes the presence of diamonds but does not specify their quality. Each stone still carries its own 4Cs: carat weight, color, clarity, and cut. In product descriptions, makers may also quote total carat weight or the arrangement of stones to convey the design’s impact.

Use cases for diamontbesetzte pieces are widespread and include engagement rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and diamond-set watches. In contemporary markets, both natural diamonds and laboratory-grown diamonds may be used, with disclosures about authenticity and certification (for example, independent grading reports) provided to buyers. The term remains a descriptive attribute in catalogs and marketing literature.
