Diamonds are renowned for their rarity and captivating beauty. The purest element in existence; the name Diamond derives from the Ancient Greek ‘adamas’ meaning ‘invincible’.

Just as each person is unique; as is every diamond. Therefore, your perfect diamond is as rare and individual as you are. Formulated deep in the earth’s core, Diamonds are solely composed of Carbon. The crystallisation of Carbon occurs due to the extreme heat and force beneath the ground. Diamonds are then brought to the surface by a volcanic eruption; over three billion years after their initial formation.
