diamondwork
Cut stone artistry
Diamondwork refers to decorative patterns or designs featuring diamond shapes, typically arranged in a repeating grid or lattice.
The term appears most often in descriptions of architectural ornamentation, textiles, and metalwork where these geometric patterns create visual interest.
The building's façade featured intricate diamondwork in contrasting brick colors.
It can also describe the craft of cutting and setting actual diamonds, though this usage is less common.
