Our standards are exacting. Whilst the four C's are important and a common guide to the quality of a diamond, of equal importance is the "make" of the stone. The "make" refers to the cut and the proportions of the diamond and this is crucial to its brilliance. Every loose diamond we purchase is individually selected by our diamond grader who follows strict criteria. We categorically reject diamonds with the following: Excessive Fluorescence, Extreme Thickness or wavy girdle, Extra facets, Misshapen facets, Culet or table off-centre.
