Can I see my diamond before I purchase it?
As all of our diamonds are 100% custom-sourced from our cutters and diamantaires internationally, we provide high-resolution imagery and magnified videos of each diamond option, as well as full copies of the GIA certificate for review. This shows you the facet arrangement of each diamond option, providing a comprehensive look into the stone including the location and nature of each diamond’s inclusions or imperfections if any, as well as a proper analysis of each diamond that is far more valuable than what can be typically seen by the naked eye. We work with your to determine the perfect diamond for your needs, and guide you through the comparison process.

How can I measure my partner’s ring size without them knowing?
There are a few ways to measure your partner’s ring size. One method is to take an existing ring of their partner and measure the internal diameter in millimetres (mm). If you know what finger your partner wears this ring on, we can then correlate this to a broad size and work from there. Another method is to bring in one of their rings for sizing as a starting point. Still not sure? We suggest creating your ring in a standard size, and adjust the ring up or down from there, free of charge.
How do i find my ring size?
There are a variety of ways to measure your ring size.
