Sri Lanka’s leading jeweller Tiesh celebrated the festive season in style with the launch of its exquisite new Pavé Diamond Collection.

Pavé refers to the method of setting smaller diamonds into a precious metal. Held in place with beads or metal prongs, they give the appearance of a line of continuous small diamonds. The beads or metal prongs that hold the diamonds in place are barely visible. Looking at a ring with a pavé setting, one will see several tiny diamonds set closely together, resulting in a line of continuous sparkle.

Tiesh Director Ayesh de Fonseka said: “The Tiesh Pavé Diamond Collection gets its name from the French word pavé (pronounced pa-vay) which is a method of diamond or gem setting, French in origin for paved, as in paving the ring, pendant earring etc, with tiny diamonds (much like a street paved with cobblestones).

“This is because it features many tiny diamonds or other gemstones set close to each other, predominantly in Rose Gold, Yellow Gold and White Gold. The collection is joyous and exuberant. It features youthful looking jewellery and is aimed at the younger community.”

“The Tiesh Pavé Diamond Collection is a youthful spin on classic designs and features pendants, necklaces, earrings, lapel pins, rings, bracelets and even anklets. The jewellery is versatile and can be worn from morning till night, in fact the whole day through. The pieces are also very practical and simple too. For example, one can also choose from layered chains which can be worn two/three at the same time,” he added.

The entry point for the Pavé Diamond Collection is relatively affordable compared to other collections. Tiesh uses best quality diamonds from around the world and sources from the best diamond cutters and best diamond merchants.

Tiesh Director Thiyasha de Fonseka added that Tiesh diligently used the lockdowns to upgrade its methods, processes and designs to meet the challenges of the constantly evolving demands of a very discerning clientele.

“Accurate testing of gold is critical in the jewellery business. We have acquired one of the most intricate gold testing machines in Sri Lanka and make sure that every piece is up to international standards,” she added.

In addition to the Pave Diamond Collection, the expanded collections also feature diamonds, sapphires and 22 carat gold jewellery at Tiesh’s state-of-the-art showroom at 253 R.A. de Mel Mawatha, Colombo-3.

Tiesh, the family-owned establishment, has, over the past three decades acquired great local and international celebrity status. Spearheaded by Founder/Managing Director Lasantha De Fonseka and his wife Bryony, Tiesh is joined by the equally hands-on next generation, with daughter Thiyasha and son Ayesh who are committed to providing an unparalleled expertise and a personal interest in each customer who steps into a world of brilliance.
