Diamond-Cut Gold Chains for Wholesale, Made in Istanbul

By Golden Planet

Diamond cutting is the most economical way to add brilliance to a gold chain: it changes how the chain catches the light without adding a single gram of gold. Golden Planet produces diamond-cut chains in all nine chain styles we make and in every karat we offer, both from stock and to order, and applies the same finish to rings, bracelets, necklaces and wedding bands. This page is written for wholesalers, distributors and jewellery retailers deciding where diamond-cut pieces belong in their range.

What is a diamond-cut gold chain?

On a diamond-cut chain, a tool tipped with industrial diamond cuts small, flat facets into the surface of the links. Each facet works like a tiny mirror, so the chain flashes as it moves and looks brighter than a polished chain of the same weight. The name refers to the cutting tool, not to stones: a diamond-cut chain contains no diamonds. In German the finish is called diamantiert, in Polish diamentowany, and in Turkey traşlı.

Diamond cutting is a surface finish. It does not change the karat or fineness of the gold. Because cutting removes a small amount of metal, a cut chain can weigh slightly less than an uncut chain of the same dimensions, so the finished weight per piece is the figure to compare between offers.

Diamond-cut in every chain style we make

Every style in our range can be supplied polished or diamond-cut: anchor, curb, rope, Singapore, rolo, Bismarck, figaro, foxtail and Mona Lisa. The effect differs from style to style, which is useful when you are building a collection. Our guide to gold chain types describes each style in detail.

Diamond-cut rope chain

The spiral of a rope chain already plays with light. Faceting each twisted strand multiplies the reflections, which makes a diamond-cut rope one of the most striking chains in a display case, whether as a fine pendant chain or a bold statement piece.

Diamond-cut curb chain

Curb links lie flat, so they take cut faces cleanly. The result is a crisp, bevelled line along the chain and a brightness that suits both men’s and women’s collections.

Diamond-cut anchor and rolo chains

On fine pendant chains, diamond cutting adds visible sparkle at very low weight. It is a simple way to give an entry-price chain a more refined appearance.

Singapore, figaro, Bismarck, foxtail and Mona Lisa

These styles are available diamond-cut as well. On a Singapore chain the facets emphasise the twist; on figaro, Bismarck, foxtail and Mona Lisa chains they sharpen the pattern of the links.

Every karat, from stock or made to order

We diamond-cut jewellery in every karat we produce: 8K (333), 9K (375), 10K (417), 14K (585), 18K (750) and 21K (875). For European buyers we supply 333, 375, 585 and 750, with 875 for selected EU markets; 10K is made for the US market only. Our karat and fineness guide explains how the grades compare.

Diamond-cut pieces are available both from stock and as production orders. Items from stock ship within two working days, including to EU destinations; made-to-order production takes four to six weeks. Every shipment to the EU travels with an A.TR movement certificate.

Beyond chains: rings, bracelets, necklaces and wedding bands

Diamond cutting is not limited to chains. We also produce diamond-cut rings, bracelets, necklaces and wedding bands. On a wedding band the cuts form the pattern itself, from fine lines to bold geometric decoration. For a retailer, this is an efficient way to widen a band range without changing the karat or the profile. Browse our collections, or ask our sales team for diamond-cut models in a specific category.

Advice for selling diamond-cut jewellery

Facets are thin, precisely cut surfaces. After years of intensive wear their edges can soften slightly and the sparkle can mellow; this is normal wear, not a defect. Heavy polishing removes facets and gradually erases the pattern, so diamond-cut pieces should be cleaned gently rather than re-polished. A brief word at the counter saves unnecessary after-sales questions.
