Pluczenik has chosen BaselWorld for the European première of its groundbreaking Plevé collection, a range of ceramic-mounted unique diamond jewellery conceived by renowned designer and creator Ron Rizzo.

Plevé allows the designer to spotlight the beauty of diamonds in all shapes, sizes and colors. Diamonds are placed into mosaic patterns without the use of traditional metal setting. They are held securely in place with a revolutionary, internationally patented technology that utilizes cured ceramic instead of metal to secure the diamonds in place. The name is derived from a French enamel technique called complevé.

The look of any piece from the Plevé collection is an original and cannot be duplicated, ensuring each consumer will own a one-of-a-kind hand sculpted Plevé piece. The jewellery is set in a ceramic base cured under blue-light, using technology perfected in Germany. The ceramic contains crushed diamonds to improve both the technical and the optical properties, and can be coloured to harmonise with the gems and diamonds each piece.
The jewellery combines diamonds in different colours with sapphires, rubies and other gems, to create a canvas of scintillating interplay of light.
