A natural diamond is formed deep within the Earth over billions of years under high pressure and temperature. It is mined, cut, and polished for use in jewelry.
How can I be sure the diamond is natural?
All our natural diamonds are independently certified by trusted gemological labs and undergo rigorous testing to confirm their origin.
Are natural diamonds a good long-term investment?
Natural diamonds have historically maintained value over time due to their rarity and demand. They are often passed down across generations.
Where do your natural diamonds come from?
We source our natural diamonds from suppliers who follow industry standards and ethical sourcing practices, in compliance with international regulations.
What Is The Difference Between Lab Grown Diamonds And Natural Diamonds?
There is only one distinction between mined diamonds and lab-grown ones, and that is their origin. Mined diamonds are formed naturally deep within the Earth's crust, while lab grown diamonds are produced by humans in a strictly regulated laboratory environment. Despite being artificially created, lab-grown diamonds are still considered genuine diamonds - and they possess the same shine and sparkle as mined diamonds.
Can a Jeweler Tell Lab Created Diamond From Natural Diamonds?
A skilled jeweler can distinguish between a lab grown diamond and a natural one, although it's not possible to do so with the naked eye. Specialized equipment is required to locate an inscription that indicates that the diamond was artificially created.
Where Are Diamonds Found?
Diamond deposits can be found all over the world. However, the vast majority come from Russia, Botswana, Canada, Australia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Many of these areas are rife with conflict, which is supported by the diamond trade. The only way to ensure your symbol of love and devotion is conflict-free is to go with lab grown.
How Much Are Diamonds Worth?
A diamond's worth depends on the process of grading. Natural and synthetic diamonds are priced differently depending on their features. Sophisticated laboratories execute this grading based on the 4C's of diamonds.
There are several factors to consider when grading diamonds. In some cases, a diamond with a lower carat weight but exceptional color, cut, and clarity may be more valuable than larger diamonds with lower color and clarity. Nonetheless, lab-grown diamonds are consistently priced 20-40% lower than mined diamonds, providing better value without compromising quality.
How Do I Clean A Diamond Ring?
You can clean your diamond engagement ring, necklaces, earrings, and other fine jewelry with materials you already have at home. Start by adding some gentle dish soap to a bowl of lukewarm water. Make sure your water doesn't have a high temperature. Soak your jewelry for a few minutes, then use a gentle toothbrush to remove any remaining dirt.

What Are Blood Diamonds?
According to CNN, blood (or conflict) diamonds are "illegally traded to fund conflict in war-torn areas, particularly in central and western Africa, according to the World Diamond Council, which represents the commercial diamond trade."

The way the diamond's facets are cut. A diamond's cut determines the level of fire and brilliance that the diamond creates.
Color:
The color of the diamond. A diamond with virtually no color is the most expensive, while a diamond with a yellowish tint is less expensive.
Clarity:
The purity of the diamond. A diamond with a high clarity rating has very few inclusions (foreign matter embedded in the diamond) or blemishes (external imperfections like a chip).
Carat:
The weight of the diamond. A more expensive and valuable diamond has a higher carat weight.
How Do I Pick A Diamond Shape?
The diamond shape you pick for your diamond ring depends on what shape your jewelry setting allows. Some ring settings only work with one shape of a diamond. The same goes for earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and other diamond jewelry types. However, many jewelry pieces, like diamond engagement rings, work with a variety of diamond shapes.
The choice also depends on your preferred look. For a classic look, round brilliant is the perfect choice that's always in style. Another option that's slightly more modern is an oval cut diamond. Vintage lovers might love Asscher or emerald cut diamonds.
If you and your partner are looking for something truly special, consider choosing a pear or heart shaped diamond as your gemstone. It's worth noting that heart diamonds require intricate cutting, which makes them one of the pricier fancy cuts available.
What Is A Moissanite Diamond?
Moissanite is a diamond simulant made of silicon carbide. Diamond simulants are gemstones that may look like diamonds but are not. Moissanite is also not the same thing as a synthetic diamond. A synthetic diamond is a real diamond that didn't form naturally beneath the Earth's surface. For example, a lab grown diamond is synthetic; however, it's still real.Interestingly, the majority of moissanite you will come across is lab grown. Moissanite is incredibly rare and has some properties similar to diamonds. Both moissanite and diamonds are durable—diamonds rate a 10 on the Mohs scale, whereas moissanite rate 9.5.
Additionally, diamonds and moissanite are excellent conductors of heat. Every so often, a diamond tester that tests thermal conductivity may indicate that moissanite is a diamond when it really isn't.
What Are Pavé Diamonds?
Pavé diamonds are tiny diamonds that encrust a larger piece of jewelry. The word pavé comes from the French word for "paved" because pavé diamonds look like a road paved with sparkling gemstones.
Many shoppers choose pavé diamonds for an engagement ring. A ring with pavé diamonds often looks more prominent to the eye and with extra sparkle, putting this style of ring in high demand.
Are Diamonds Only Used For Jewelry?
Diamonds have uses that extend far beyond jewelry. In fact, there are both gem quality and industrial diamonds. Since diamonds are one of the hardest substances on earth, they can be used for industrial purposes including polishing, cutting, and grinding.
What Are The Benefits of Lab Grown Diamonds vs. Natural Diamonds?
One major advantage of lab-grown diamonds is that they eliminate the potential harm caused to ecosystems, as well as preventing any support of illegal activities in foreign countries. In terms of their chemical makeup and physical characteristics, they are virtually identical to natural diamonds, but are priced much lower.
Lab diamonds represent innovation and modernity, while mined diamonds are more traditional and expensive without necessarily adding more value. It's safe to say that lab-created diamonds are the way of the future.

Often confused with cut, the shape of a diamond is the physical appearance that it takes. The most popular shape is the round brilliant.
The cut of a diamond determines how effectively light that enters the stone is refracted within and reflected back through the top of the diamond, providing sparkle. The best cut grade is defined as Ideal, followed by Excellent, Very Good. Fancy shape stones often do not receive cut grades and will be listed as 'None.'
Carat refers to the actual weight of a diamond and is a unit of measure equal to 0.2 grams. In all diamonds, carat weight is a large contributor to the price of the stone.
The color in diamonds is actually the absence of color, graded on an alphabetical scale from D to Z, with D being a colorless diamond and Z being yellow.
Clarity measures the amount of inclusions or imperfections found in a diamond. The best clarity is IF/FL followed by VVS1, VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, and SI2. Although other levels of clarity exist, we only carry diamonds with quality we can stand behind.
