Beretta 92FS Diamond pistol: a truly unique one-off commemorative creation
Beretta continues its extraordinary streak of one‑of‑a‑kind creations celebrating its 500‑year anniversary with a new pinnacle of design and manufacturing perfection.
A contemporary reimagining of an exceptional historic one‑off, this piece pays tribute to what is perhaps the most iconic expression of Beretta excellence: the 92FS.
The 92FS Diamond stands as a unique creation - an object that transcends time and nature to embody the very essence of luxury: the diamond. More than a handgun, it is a rare jewel, a work of art conceived for those who appreciate beauty in its purest and most unattainable form.
The sculpted lines of the 92 FS Diamond draw inspiration from the geometry of the diamond: sharp edges, faceted surfaces, and volumes shaped to capture and reflect light trough the frame, the slide, the hammer, the trigger guard, and the magazine pad.
A notable example lies in the slide serrations: emerging from the geometric pattern milled into the sides, each form evolves from a truncated pyramid into a sharper, more pronounced volume, resulting in a seamless convergence of design and function.

The grip panels, carved from solid white gold, are set one stone at a time with 144 natural diamonds each, an exacting process that extends to four white gold inserts, where triangle‑cut diamonds are seamlessly integrated into the frame and slide.
Two little round diamonds are also set into the rear sight.
In total, the piece brings together 335 grams of 18‑carat gold and 14.5 carats of diamonds: an exceptional composition where technical mastery meets the pure language of high creation.
A true challenge in both industrial and technical design, the project demanded an extensive exploration of every surface and geometry: it required not only in‑depth research, but also rigorous engineering validation and advanced manufacturing processes to preserve the intrinsic functionality of the Beretta 92 while redefining its form.
Entirely crafted from solid steel, the 92FS Diamond reaches the apex of its transformation in the PB Selection Custom Shop in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. Here, through time, precision, and the hands of master gunsmiths, each component is meticulously fitted and brought to a flawless mirror polish, surface after surface, until light itself becomes part of the design.
Honoring Beretta’s remarkable legacy, a dedicated 500 Year logo is discreetly engraved at the angle of the slide, while a golden accent along its upper slide recalls the first spark ignited in Bartolomeo’s forge – a spark still alive today.
The signature of Pietro Beretta – the first man to bring fine guns into Beretta's name and realm – flows uninterrupted along the barrel, echoing the PB shield subtly carved into the diamond‑set grips.
Completing the masterpiece is a forged aluminum case, designed to echo the style of high-end jewelry safes: clean lines, solid structure, and an aesthetic that belongs to the world of rare treasures. The interior, finished in a deep blue custom French fitting and entirely handcrafted by the PB Selection gun case atelier, reflects the same pursuit of excellence.
Every detail is considered, every element precisely executed: an expression of Pietro Beretta Selection’s commitment to delivering a truly bespoke experience.
