The Craft

Precision you can see.
Quality you can feel.

More than 30 years of manufacturing expertise distilled into every ring. From stone selection to final inspection, every detail is intentional, measured, and built to endure.

The Difference

Industry standard vs. MONTARE standard

The gap between typical and exceptional is found in the details most people never see. We set them out in full in how cheap and premium rings are actually made.

Industry Standard
Settings done by eye at bench magnification
Standard alloy blends, often undisclosed composition
Broad clarity and colour ranges (SI1 to VVS)
Generic proportion standards across shapes
Small stones wax-set — cast in place for speed
Imperfect castings polished back, filled or hidden
Bulk tumble-polished in batches
The MONTARE Standard
Every setting microset under a microscope for maximum precision
Premium 14K and 18K gold blends chosen for strength and finish
VVS1-VVS2, D/E colour, Triple Excellent cut only
Ideal proportions verified for every individual stone and shape
Every stone hand-set — never cast in place
Imperfect castings scrapped and cast again
Hand polished at the bench, never tumbled
The Process

Five stages. Zero shortcuts.

Every MONTARE ring follows the same exacting process, from the first stone to the final inspection. We are not a factory. We are a craft house — and these are the stages a factory shortens.

01

Stone Selection

Every diamond hand-selected to meet all six MONTARE specifications. Colour, clarity, cut, proportions, and visual performance verified individually before a stone enters our inventory.

02

Design Engineering

CAD-modeled and structurally validated before production begins. Every angle, prong placement, and metal thickness is engineered for both beauty and long-term durability.

03

Cast — and Cast Again

The setting is cast or hand-fabricated in your chosen metal, then inspected. Casting is not perfectly repeatable: a piece can come out with porosity or an incomplete fill in a thin section like a prong. Where volume production would polish it back, fill it or hide it under the finish, we scrap it and cast it again — as many times as it takes. Every rejected casting costs metal. We would rather lose the gold than leave a flaw inside a ring somebody wears for fifty years.

04

Microset Under Microscope

100x magnification. 0.01mm precision on every prong and setting. Stones are placed and secured with maximum accuracy, ensuring structural integrity from day one.

05

Hand Finish & Final Inspection

Every ring is hand polished at the bench — never tumbled, never bulk finished — so the gallery, the under-setting and the inside of the shank are finished to the same standard as the top. Quality is then verified against MONTARE standards: every setting checked, every specification confirmed. Nothing leaves our workshop without final approval.

Materials

The metal is part of the luxury

Premium alloys chosen for strength, finish, and longevity. The right metal for the way you wear your ring. Full purities and hallmarks are published on our standards.

14K Gold

Everyday Strength

A high-strength blend ideal for daily wear. The higher alloy content provides exceptional durability while maintaining the warmth and lustre that makes gold timeless. Available in yellow, white, and rose.

18K Gold

Premium Finish

A richer, deeper colour with a premium finish that is unmistakable. Higher gold content means a more luxurious appearance, with excellent durability for regular wear. The choice for those who want the finest.

Platinum

Ultimate Durability

The ultimate in durability and purity. Naturally white, hypoallergenic, and exceptionally dense. Platinum develops a distinctive patina over time that many consider more beautiful than its original polish.
