The new environmental ornament ELEMENT


This two mosaic elements combine the noble brilliance of precious metal and the mysterious beauty of precious stone.

Both elements are more than just a magnificent material to look at.

ARGENTO
(Silver color) and ORO (Gold color) elements are similar to precious stones in its qualities of extreme hardness (a rating of nine on the Mohs Scale, the second hardest material to Diamond) and resistance to abrasion and corrosion.

These “ELEMENTS" are indeed worthy of being called “THE THIRD PRECIOUS METAL".

Through continuous innovation and technological development, LA MAR DIAMANT strives to contribute to the advancement of the stone industry, for building industry and furniture application.
