Diamond Makers' is a hybrid between a lab and a tailor-made
retail experience. It is capable of fabricating
lab-grown diamonds from a wide selection of customisable
sources. The focus on the source allows the customer to choose the meaning
that they want their diamond to possess. The
selection process is designed to trigger personal reflection on values and
following their desires.
- What does luxury mean to you? - What do you want to preserve forever, and why?
Playing with one of the most famous marketing slogans, and arguing that diamonds are, in fact, 'whatever', I want to problematise the value of diamonds and their meaning.
- Why diamonds are attractive? - What you want diamond to represent? - What do you lose by turning it into diamond?
