our approach
Sourcing
Having been in the industry for longer than 4 decades, we enjoy great goodwill & a healthy relationship with sight holders worldwide. We source rough diamonds from the biggest and most reliable mines from around the world.
Cutting and Polishing
Next up is the cutting and polishing process. This step includes sub-steps such as cut planning, cleaving, bruting, polishing and blocking.
Assortment
The next step is assorting the rough diamonds. Broadly, we classify diamonds into the typical 9 intensities ranging from faint to light, fancy, and deep. We further classify them into champagne, cognac, and chocolate diamonds – the popular types of brown diamonds.
DESIGN
The diamonds are then fine-tuned and a level of finesse is achieved in their design, making them look stunning.
Certification
After successful inspection, the diamonds are sent for certification, which includes grading and certification according to the 4Cs of diamonds.
INSPECTION
All diamonds are now inspected. Inspection ensures that the diamonds meet all the required standards.
