Round diamonds are:

• More easy to place for beginners
• Faster to set with the multi-diamond tool
• Create a slightly less precise effect
• Leave small spaces between the diamonds

Square diamonds provide:

• A sharper and more precise finish
• Better coverage of the canvas
• A more professional look
• A longer completion time

• Small size (30x30cm): ideal for beginners and simple patterns
• Medium size (40x50cm): good compromise for portraits and simple landscapes
• Large size (50x70cm and up): perfect for detailed landscapes and complex scenes

For optimal results:

• Rule of faces: minimum 30x40cm
• Rule of landscapes: minimum 40x50cm
• Rule of details: the more complex the pattern, the larger the canvas needs to be

Estimate according to the format:

• Format 30x30cm: 15-20 hours
• Format 40x50cm: 25-35 hours
• Format 50x70cm: 40-60 hours

Factors influencing the duration:

• Experience of the creator
• Complexity of the design
• Type of diamonds (round/square)
• Daily concentration time

Protection during the process:

• Use a protective film
• Work in a clean environment
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight

Final conservation:

• Framing under glass
• Use of a special fixative
• Storage in a dry and temperate location
• Protection against dust
