A couple have 'struck gold' after finding a diamond parquet underneath their carpet.

Josh, 37, and Emily, 38, shared a video on TikTok sharing their delight at the find.

The pair shared their incredible discovery on TikTok, in a video that has since gone viral with around 2.6 million views.

Their TikTok video has since racked up more than 225,000 likes. One person commented: "You hit the floor lottery!"

Someone else said: "You didn't just struck gold. That's finding diamond. It's beautiful," while an equally enthusiastic fan of the couple remarked: "I would never stop crying. They're so beautiful."

An impressed viewer added: "Ooooo it's a diamond parquet."

"At this point we're going to start thanking previous generations for preserving such lovely hardwood floors under carpet like that," another said.

What is a diamond parquet?

If, like me, you're not a floor expert. You might be baffled as to how a floor can cost so much.

Diamond parquet flooring is a 3D oak parquet pattern that features geometric elements like cubes, hexagons, and intricate weaves. 

The pattern is versatile and can complement a variety of interior styles. It's often coated with natural oil to create shadows, lines, and shapes.

One of the primary drawbacks of parquet flooring is the initial cost. Both the materials and installation can be quite expensive, especially for intricate designs or high-quality wood species.

According to Ecowood: "The Diamond parquet pattern, a true visual masterpiece, has been developed in collaboration with architects and interior designers and put into production by our oak craftsmen, who are in charge of the state-of-the-art equipment and have a deep understanding and experience of the characteristics of the oak wood itself.

"This unique wood floor pattern combines 3D artistry, oak craftsmanship, aesthetics and sustainability. Diamond parquet is not only stunning, it is solid and durable, making it the best choice for those looking for quality and uniqueness."
