Diamonds are the world's hardest natural mineral, formed over a billion years ago deep beneath the Earth's surface. Carbon atoms bonded under extreme pressure and high temperatures, create these precious gems. Volcanic activity transports diamonds to the Earth's surface in magma.

First discovered in India in the 4th Century BC, diamonds remain one of the most coveted objects on Earth.

The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) developed a universal standard for evaluating diamonds known as the 4 C's: cut, color, clarity, and carat. This scale provides an objective method to assess and describe diamond quality. Understanding these criteria is crucial when comparing and selecting diamonds, as each factor contributes to a diamond's overall value and appearance. While personal preference plays a role in diamond selection, the 4 C's offer a consistent framework for evaluating diamond quality across the industry.

Indicates the visibility of natural inclusions within the diamond, whether visible to the naked eye or requiring magnification. Fewer visible inclusions indicate higher rarity.

The unit of measurement for a diamond's weight, with 1 carat equaling 0.2 grams. Higher carat weights are rarer.

We use independent certifications from GIA, HRD, or IGI, with GIA being the most accurate in our opinion. However, a certificate alone doesn't guarantee a beautiful diamond, which is why expert selection is crucial.

We source our modern diamonds directly from Global Sightholder companies, allowing us to trace each diamond back to reputable mining operations. These mines implement social, environmental, and economic programs benefiting local communities. They provide fair wages, safe working conditions, community empowerment, and work towards net zero emissions.

Our modern diamonds include top performing white diamonds as well as coloured diamonds (champagne and yellow).

Ethically sourced in person from the Antwerp diamond bourse, our antique diamonds are our most rare collectible gemstones. Genuine antiques, cut by hand from the 1600’s to 1930’s have a unique charm and character unobtainable in modern day cutting.

Diamonds are the hardest natural substance on Earth, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This scale, developed in 1822, measures a material's resistance to scratching. Only another diamond can scratch a diamond, making these gems exceptionally durable. This durability makes diamonds ideal for daily wear, particularly as centerpieces in jewelry and engagement rings. Their hardness ensures they maintain their beauty and structure even with constant wear.

Diamond prices vary greatly based on rarity and quality. Higher grades in cut, color, clarity, or larger carat weights command higher prices due to their rarity. Lab-grown diamonds are less expensive than natural diamonds.
