We hereby declare, based on personal knowledge and/or written guarantees from our suppliers, that our certified diamonds do not come from rough diamonds exported from Russia after April 1, 2022.

The quality of a diamond is described internationally with the so-called 4 C: Carat (weight) Color Clarity (purity) and Cut.(shape) ​ There are other properties that are important when buying diamonds: ​ Certificate A certificate is absolutely essential for your security. The scientific testing laboratories enjoy international recognition for their certificates GIA, HRD and IGI. ​ Competence and Confidence ​ It is fundamentally necessary for an evaluation to be carried out by renowned and neutral institutes. The institutes HRD, IGI and GIA are leading. As a diamond dealer with 30 years of experience and excellent contacts to the most important diamond trading centers in the world, you get the best quality at the best prices from us. Diamonds offer their owner a maximum of international mobility, value concentration and discretion. As an investment, however, the long-term character should always be emphasized. The standard sizes are best for beginners, i.e. quarter, third, half and one carat. ​ One-carats must weigh at least 1.00 carats and half-carats must weigh 0.50 carats, since diamonds are valued according to weight categories. 0.99 carat costs about 30% less than 1.00 carat! ​ When in doubt, always choose the better quality, rare stones are always in demand. Classics are flawless white stones in the colors D (River) to H (Wesselton) in brilliant cut. ​ The finish - the cut - should be rated at least "very good" to "good", but best is "excellent". In addition to the cut - one of the 4 Cs - there are three other main criteria: Carat, Color, Clarity. ​ In general, a price comparison from different providers makes sense, whereby of course only stones with the same strict origin (the three globally recognized certifying institutes GIA, HRD, IGI) should be used. ​ Diamonds in intensive natural colors, the "fancy colors", are extremely interesting and usually breathtakingly beautiful. This special area is intended for lovers of colored stones, without individual instructions every purchase is a loss! Call us, we would be happy to advise you personally!

The basis is the view through the 10x magnifying glass: ​ No inclusions are visible at 10x magnification, the stone is IF = internally flawless or LC = flawless ​ If inclusions are (very) difficult to see, the purity is referred to as VVS = very very small inclusions or VS = very small inclusions If inclusions are slightly visible under 10x magnification, they are said to be SI = small inclusions Recognizable inclusions begin with the designation P1 = and ends at P3 (P stands for Piquè)

Our diamonds are conflict free. We adhere to and support the Kimberley Agreement of 2002 to stop the trade in conflict diamonds used to fund wars. Learn more here: https://www.kimberleyprocess.com/en

The brilliant cut is the most popular cut for ear studs, pendants and rings. ​ The princess cut developed in 1981 is, after the brilliant cut, the most popular shape of a diamond, especially for engagement rings. It's square, can also be minimally rectangular. Because of their shape, princess-cut diamonds can be placed next to each other without a gap and are therefore particularly suitable for eternity rings or tennis bracelets.

There couldn't be a more brilliant smile! If you are looking for something special, then real dental diamonds are an elegant and exclusive piece of jewellery. They make every smile shine! Diamonds up to a size of 0.07 carats can be used as tooth jewelry by a dentist who specializes in them. In contrast to crystal glass stones or zirconia, the sparkle of these gemstones is unsurpassed and the color of the diamond should be at least Top Wesselton.

As a diamond dealer with more than 30 years of experience and excellent contacts to the most important diamond trading centers in the world, we offer you the best quality at the best prices.

Increasing demand with a very limited supply of colored diamonds has driven prices up. This development has also led to the fact that particularly rare colors such as pure pink, blue or pure green are now also being produced artificially. The best developed method is referred to as HPHT (High Pressure High Temperature). These laboratory products are recognized as such by every gemmological institute and marked, for example, as "Treated" or "Labdiamond". They're only worth a very small fraction of the original at best.

How can you tell a real diamond from a fake? What are your options for determining if the diamond is real and of natural origin? There are many ways to determine this, but most of them are completely fallacious. Without measuring instruments, you cannot tell the authenticity of a diamond. The institute uses high-tech equipment for this. All parameters of the stone are entered in the certificate of a world-leading institute (HRD, IGI and GIA). Nowadays, as a layman, you have no way of knowing for sure whether a diamond is natural. The reason for this is that there are now very good imitations. Not only optically, but also physically, the modern fakes come very close to the original. There are also real diamonds created in the laboratory. These stones are physically identical to the original, but have a significantly lower value. Therefore, only buy from a proven specialist and insist on a certificate. We would be happy to advise you in a personal telephone call.

Diamond is the umbrella term for this gemstone. A diamond in the rough is a diamond in the rough.A brilliant is a round cut diamond with 56 facets: in the upper part it has 32 facets, in the lower part - the pavilion - it has 24 facets.

Security - Certificates of Diamonds Decades ago, the diamond trade agreed on internationally valid criteria for the qualification of diamonds. The laboratories of the internationally recognized institutes of HRD, IGI and GIA prepare reports that enjoy the highest international reputation. These laboratories are scientific and, above all, neutral in their statement, since they are not directly involved in trading. The institutes guarantee and are liable for the information specified in the certificate, which is stored under a registration number and can therefore also be called up from the respective institutes. Blood Diamonds No Conflict Diamonds! We only offer diamonds that are traded under the rules of the Kimberly Agreement and meet these requirements. Sealed Diamonds After certification, the stones are sealed in the so-called "blisters" by the institutes. This method allows traders to buy and sell diamonds worldwide without actually having them. The interested party can find the relevant details in the laboratory report = certificate, which contains all the data under the individual registration number and accompanies the diamond in every transaction. This registration number can also be seen in the blister. The diamond was tested by gemologists (certified gemologists), whose results are recognized worldwide in the certificate. A further test is therefore no longer necessary, especially since it requires the most modern equipment, which hardly anyone outside of these laboratories has at their disposal. The American institute GIA, on the other hand, has been doing without sealing for some time and instead works with laser printing. The certificate number is lasered onto the edge of each diamond. This can only be seen with a very good magnifying glass or with a microscope. Authenticity of the diamonds Precious and valuable things like the diamond have always been imitated or counterfeited. No one involved in the trade wants to lose money, customers or their name or have their name damaged. The diamond trade meets this challenge in a highly scientific manner and with enormous technical effort. Each synthesis or imitation can be recognized as such, but only with the most modern technical equipment and up-to-date know-how. Therefore: All certified diamonds traded by us are tested and sealed by recognized institutes.

To determine your ring size, take a ring that fits you well and use a ruler to measure the inner diameter, i.e. from one inner edge of the ring to the opposite inner edge. Example: A ring with an inner diameter of 15mm is ring size 47. ​ The corresponding ring size can be found in the following table: Link 14.8mm || 46 15.0mm || 47 15.5mm || 48 15.8mm || 49 16.0mm || 50 16.3mm || 51 16.5mm || 52 16.8mm || 53 17.3mm || 54 17.5mm || 55 17.8mm || 56 18.3mm || 57 18.5mm || 58 18.8mm || 59 19.3mm || 60 19.5mm || 61 19.8mm || 62 20.3mm || 63 20.5mm || 64 20.8mm || 65 21.3mm || 66

The dimensions given are reliable guidelines for our loose brilliant cut diamonds. Stones from other providers may vary. ​ Black brilliants are approx. 25% smaller than the measurements given below as they are heavier compared to white brilliants.

Diamonds are found in all the colors of the rainbow. The intensity of the color is decisive for its rarity. In contrast to white diamonds, the clarity is almost irrelevant. For example, a Fancy Intense Pink or Blue can have inclusions that are visible to the eye and still cost a hundred thousand dollars or more per carat. No white diamond with visible inclusions will ever reach these values. A white diamond with visible flaws can only be sold at a significant discount, the same quality e.g. in purple would cost a fortune. The origin of "fancy colored" diamonds is extremely rare and not yet fully understood. That, too, makes them something very special. Only a few thousand carats of intensely colored diamonds are found each year compared to millions of carats of white diamonds. And most of these are only cut in small stones of well under a carat. Natural colored diamond prices have never fallen since price records began. So it's all about the color. The more color the better, the most colorful stones are also the most beautiful, but at the same time the rarest and most expensive. Christies and Sothebys have held auctions dedicated to fancy diamonds for many years. Here the most beautiful of the rare stones regularly achieve record prices. No stone is comparable to a second. The Hope Diamond is perhaps the most well-known colored diamond and its scientific grade is Fancy Deep Blue. The color saturation is defined or graded in nine different categories, whereby the addition of fancy (freely translated: special, extraordinary) is already a degree of color presence: faint very light light fancy light (fancy light) fancy (fancy) fancy dark (fancy dark) fancy intense (fancy intense) fancy deep (fancy deep) fancy vivid (fancy vivid)

Approximately 99% of all mined diamonds are white, yellow or brown. In the case of the "brownies", it is the varied shades of color that make these stones so interesting. Color depth or saturation are the most important factors in the so-called Fancy Colored Diamonds. It is not easy to describe the color of brown diamonds accurately. The lighter tones are called champagne colors, the most intense ones are compared to cognac. Internationally, the color scale from C 1 (light) to C 7 (dark) is used. In between there are countless nuances and each piece is individually described with a well-known color such as e.g. B. Tobacco, cinnamon, amber, copper, etc. A colored diamond is polarizing and may require a little more courage from the owner when used as jewelry because it is not recognizable as a diamond at first glance. This type of understatement is particularly appreciated by those who already know and own classic white diamonds. In any case, it is certain that these stones with their subtle charisma set oneself apart from the mainstream. Because the brown diamonds cost significantly less than white stones, there is more diamond for the money. The increased demand in recent years has to do with the increased use of red gold. Here, the designers looked for gemstones that matched this precious metal color and brown diamonds with their diverse shades are simply very suitable. There is no such thing as a hit parade of cuts. Rectangular cuts such as the radiant or emerald cut are preferred, as is the round brilliant cut.

One color stands out from all fancy colors: pink. A diamond of this color is sought after worldwide like never before. If its color is very intense, the best pieces these days cost upwards of one million USD per carat. These prices are achieved for the very rare pink stones in each auction. No wonder, knowing that they come from the Argyle mine in western Australia. Because of their color intensity, they are the most expensive diamonds in the world. There is currently a booster: the mine was closed in November 2020 after 37 years after the diamond deposits had been completely exploited. With the end of the Argyle mine, prices are expected to skyrocket even further.

The Hancock Red Diamond is one of the most famous red diamonds. It is not known for its size of 0.95 carat, but for its extremely rare colour: Fancy Purplish Red. Red diamonds have always been the rarest diamonds of all. About two dozen specimens have become known over the centuries, with most weighing under half a carat. The diamond, named after the American owner, Mr. Warren Hancock, became famous for its history: In the 1980's, the Hancock family, a farming family from Montana, USA, had a real problem. As a community of heirs, they were unable to pay the taxes incurred and feared having to sell the family business - or the diamonds that the head of the family had collected over the years. Old Hancock was thought to be a bit whimsical: he would occasionally buy a small colored diamond that pleased him. This type of diamond was very rarely offered, as everyone else only wanted white diamonds that were as flawless as possible. But he's always had a lot of fun with the little colorful diamonds. Now there was this big problem and eventually his collection was taken to New York to Christie's auction house in hopes of selling the stones to reduce the tax liability a bit. Christies explained the situation and was surprised that the auctioneers only chose three stones from the collection: a 0.95 carat Fancy Purplish Red color, a 0.59 carat Fancy Purplish Pink color and a half carat 0.54 carat. At Christie's New York auction on April 28, 1987, the reddish 0.95 carat alone sold for $880,000 ($926,000 per carat). That was a new price record for a colored diamond, a sensation. The previous record for a pink diamond was $127,000 per carat. The other two stones were also sold in the same auction, giving the heirs a payment of well over a million dollars from Christies, more than saving the family business. Of course, diamond price records have continued to be broken over time, but it is this exceptionally rare hue that makes Hancock Red one of the most famous colored diamonds of all time.
