Discover Diamonds

The journey of a diamond is truly remarkable; its origins beginning billions of years ago, long before dinosaurs ever existed.

 

HISTORY

Through a combination of high temperature and pressure, hundreds of miles below the earth’s surface, tiny diamond crystals began to grow inside the earth. And it was here that they stayed, locked in place, until through a series of volcanic eruptions they broke through the surface of the earth.

ETHICALLY SOURCED

I have spent many years building relationships with a select group of trusted diamond suppliers who have exceptional experience in the industry. As part of my zero-tolerance policy towards conflict diamonds each supplier ensures that their diamonds have been properly sourced in strict accordance with the Kimberley Process and current UN resolutions, thereby committing that none of the diamonds they sell have been used to finance wars or rebel insurgencies seeking to undermine legitimate governments.

HAND SELECTED

Every stone is unique, and I work meticulously to find the best stone for you. This will typically mean sourcing a selection of stones that maximise the value of your budget and display the best characteristics. Whether we are working face to face so you can see the stones in person, or remotely through the power of video and photograph, I personally assess and inspect each and every stone so I can provide genuine and personalised advice that is helpful to you when choosing.

ABOVE AND BEYOND THE 4C’S

The 4C’s is a diamond quality grading system designed by the world-renowned grading laboratory, the Gemmological Institute of America (the GIA). The system helps you to understand the mystery of a diamond’s quality, as well as understand a diamond’s value and price. Based on cut, colour, clarity and carat weight, I will personally work with you to understand the 4C’s in detail, relating the system to actual diamonds in order to visibly see the differences between the grades in real stones.
