The custom-manufactured diamond was conceptualised in recognition of Sanghavi\u2019s contribution to the development of Gujarat, and in particular, his support for the diamond industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project brought together advanced design technology, precision planning and specialised manufacturing expertise. While the conceptualisation, source-image analysis, facial mapping and 3D planning were undertaken by ISGJ Jewellery College, the cutting, polishing and execution of the diamond sculpture were carried out by Lexus SoftMac.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developed over a period of nearly four months, the project sought to transform a diamond into a recognisable facial replica while preserving diamond yield, visual aesthetics and optical performance. The finished piece showcases a detailed side-profile likeness of Harsh Sanghavi, with the natural brown colour of the diamond enhancing the depth and definition of its sculpted facial features.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/PNN-2026-06-19T190251008.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79171\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kalpesh Desai, CEO of ISGJ Jewellery College, said the project demonstrated how design innovation, technology and craftsmanship can converge to create entirely new forms of diamond artistry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCreating a facial replica in diamond is an exceptionally complex process that requires extensive planning, digital modelling and artistic interpretation. Our team worked on source-image mapping, profile analysis and photorealistic simulations to develop a design that would accurately capture Harsh Sanghavi\u2019s profile while remaining true to the characteristics of the diamond,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe objective was not only to create a recognisable likeness, but also to demonstrate the capabilities of the Indian jewellery and diamond industry in pushing the boundaries of innovation. This project reflects how modern technology can transform a concept and a photograph into a unique diamond artwork,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Utpal Mistry, Founder and Director of Lexus SoftMac, said, \u201cI was working on a diamond sculpture inspired by the with Lord Krishna\u2019s face, and it inspired the idea of creating a similar tribute for Harsh Sanghavi, whom we regard as the diamond of the state because of his contribution to Gujarat and his support for the diamond industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cConverting a design concept and 3D model into a finished diamond portrait requires extremely high levels of precision in planning and cutting. It is a highly complex process involving advanced technology and meticulous execution. The final result exceeded our expectations and bears a remarkable resemblance to Harsh Sanghavi. We were delighted by his response when we presented this unique creation to him,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project demonstrates the diamond industry\u2019s ability to transform concepts, photographs and digital planning models into highly customised diamond sculptures suitable for presentation, exhibition and collection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The creators described the piece as a symbol of innovation, leadership and the limitless possibilities of diamond artistry, while also showcasing Surat\u2019s excellence in diamond manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 10.07-carat premium brown diamond sculpture is among the rare examples of a custom-crafted facial replica created entirely in diamond, reflecting the fusion of portrait artistry, advanced technology and precision diamond manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Custom-crafted brown diamond portrait recognises Harsh Sanghavi\u2019s contribution to Gujarat and the diamond industry New Delhi [India], June 19: In a unique tribute to Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/2026\/06\/19\/international-school-of-gems-and-jewellery-isgj-and-lexus-craft-10-07-carat-diamond-portrait-of-deputy-cm-harsh-sanghavi\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55843,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[682],"class_list":["post-55842","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lifestyle","tag-lifestyle","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55842"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55842\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55842"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialtelegraph.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
