The determination of its shape is a core step in the diamond sorting process

A Diamond Journey

Every brilliant diamond is a gift from nature;

Each meticulous cut is the dedication of artisan craftsmanship;

Every dazzling diamond ornament is the epitome of eternal beauty.

FORMATION

Approximately 3.2 billion years ago, as continents took shape, a unique crystalline structure formed hundreds of kilometers beneath the Earth's surface, under pressures 50,000 times that of normal atmospheric pressure and temperatures exceeding 1300 degrees Celsius. People refer to this as "diamond."

EXPLORATION

In ancient times, miners had no equipment and relied solely on their eyes to search for diamonds.

Today, professional diamond prospectors hold degrees in geology, physics, geophysics, engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, and other related fields.

To better assist miners, most advanced laboratories provide prospectors with state-of-the-art analytical instruments, tools, and testing equipment. However, all of this still cannot replace the eyes that search for diamonds.

MINING

Hidden deep underground, each carefully polished beautiful diamond is the essence condensed from ancient minerals. For billions of years, diamonds have been concealed within Kimberlite rocks.

High-quality diamonds are sourced only from a few rigorously selected diamond mines because all these chosen mines must adhere to the strictest commercial, social, and environmental standards.

SORTING

Diamond screening is both a rigorous science and an art.

With over 12,000 different diamond categories, it requires years of experience and finely honed eyes, coupled with state-of-the-art diamond screening technology, to determine the cut, color, clarity, and carat weight of each rough stone (known as the well-known 4Cs).

Each diamond is unique, and the decision about its shape is a core step in diamond sorting. This typically determines the final size of the diamond and the shape of the jewelry.

DISTRIBUTION

At the source of diamonds, rough diamonds are distributed through two main channels. One is to sell them to qualified "diamond sight-holders," and the other is through online auctions for the distribution of rough diamonds.

In fact, the initial sale of these rough diamonds is carried out by selling them to companies capable and qualified for rough diamond processing. These companies then sell the cut and polished diamonds to jewelry manufacturers and retailers, eventually reaching the global public.

CUTTING

Only diamonds can be used to cut diamonds, and highly skilled diamond cutters carefully examine each diamond before cutting.

Regardless of the shape chosen by the cutter (round, princess, emerald, pear, heart, marquise, oval, and rectangular), there is no room for error. A perfectly proportioned brilliant-cut diamond has 57 individual facets.

POLISHING

Polishing has been using the same method (by grinding on a scaif or wheel) for over a hundred years. The polishing wheel, covered with a mixture of diamond dust and special olive oil, was invented in 1456 and has been in use ever since.

Cutting and polishing techniques transform a nameless diamond into a vibrant gem. In the hands of experienced master craftsmen, a rough diamond is shaped into an exquisite treasure, radiating with eternal brilliance.

JEWELRY

The endpoint of the diamond journey is also the beginning of another joyful chapter. Each diamond is a treasure, symbolizing unrivaled natural beauty that firmly represents romance, commitment, passion, and enduring love.

It expresses what words cannot reach. Only through the design of skilled and inspired designers, transforming it into jewelry, can these wonderful messages be conveyed.
