How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
We bring in stones to your brief, lay them side by side under the same light and walk you through the grading report so the differences are visible, not theoretical. Natural, lab-grown, sapphires and heirloom-quality colored stones are all sourced with written provenance. A design conversation covers intended use, budget, stone preferences and timeline. Material descriptions, grading reports, sourcing, prices and warranty terms are confirmed in writing before a piece is made.

Know the names.
The makers, products and standards we reference when we talk about diamond & gemstone selection.
The stone comparison appointment
We compare stones in consistent lighting with their documents beside them. GIA’s report descriptions distinguish identification, treatments and origin opinions; its updated D-to-Z laboratory-grown assessment uses different terminology from natural-diamond grading.
- Natural or laboratory-grown identity stated explicitly
- Report type and issue date checked for the actual stone
- Proportions, color, care and intended wear discussed
Manufacturer and product names belong to their owners and link to official information. No affiliation or authorized-provider status is implied.
Good to know.
Are your diamonds graded?
Yes. Every diamond over a quarter carat carries an independent laboratory report.
Can I see stones before committing?
Yes. We bring in several to compare, with no obligation.
Questions worth bringing.
- What should I understand about the process and inclusions for diamond & gemstone selection?
- How will stone documentation, metal specifications, design approvals and sourcing descriptions be verified?
- Which resizing, repair, warranty and return arrangements apply to a custom or made-to-order piece?
