Our Diamonds
The most beautiful things are formed under pressure.
Lab-Grown Diamonds are visually, chemically, and physically identical to mined Diamonds. Starting life as a small diamond seed, they are placed under High-Pressure, High Temperature (HPHT), simulating the geological conditions of natural diamond creation, but a fifth of the carbon emissions of mined diamonds.
After a few weeks, a rough diamond is grown, which is then cut and polished like any other diamond, ready to find its place in a piece of fine jewellery.
Not only are Lab-Grown Diamonds100% certified and identical to mined diamonds, they are conflict-free and significantly less harmful to the environment too.

THE FOUR C’S
The 4 'Cs' is the ubiqituous, internationally recognised way of evaluating the quality of a diamond.
Here's a breakdown of what they are and what they mean:
CUT: This refers to the dimensions, faces, symmetry and reflective properties of the stone.
COLOUR: From D-Z, the higher the grade (D), the more colourless the diamond is.
CARAT: The unit to measure the weight of the diamond.
CLARITY: Depending on the different inclusions that are visible within the stone, this grading runs from F-I.
Only when combined together can you gain a full picture of the exact quality of a stone.
