Navigating Bust Down Rolex Selection
Navigating Bust Down Rolex Selection you’re a jewelry and watches enthusiast or just a fan of the finer things in life, there’s no doubt that a high-end watch is a status symbol. But what really sets some luxury timepieces apart are those dripping with diamonds, or as we like to call them, “iced-out.” The iced-out trend became popularized in pop culture by hip-hop artists and is a testament to the skill of gem-setters who can take a simple watch and drill it full of the most beautiful gemstones.
While most iced out watches are made by luxury brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet (although we’re sure some watch purists are pulling their hair out just thinking about it), they can be made with almost any type of precious metal or gemstone. Typically, however, the most coveted iced out watches are those that are completely covered in aftermarket diamonds.
Choosing Luxury: Navigating the Selection of Bust Down Rolex
In order for a watch to be fully iced out, the gems must be set in various ways, including prongs, bezels and channel settings. To ensure that the stones are securely set, the watch must first be ‘busted down’, or taken apart and drilled with absolute precision to accommodate each individual gem. This takes a great deal of expertise and requires the use of only the finest gemstones.
The quality of gems used in a ‘busted down’ watch will also have an impact on its price, as some gems are more expensive than others. In order to make sure you’re getting the best quality, always ask about the gems and materials of a watch before making a purchase.
