A carat is the unit used to measure a diamond's weight. One carat equals 200 milligrams or 0.2 grams. Although carat weight and the size of a diamond are related, the carat does not directly measure diamond size.
Color is the natural color visible in a diamond and does not change over time. Colorless diamonds allow more light to pass through than a colored diamond, releasing more sparkle and fire.
A diamond’s clarity refers to the presence of impurities on and within the stone. When a rough stone is extracted from carbon deep beneath the earth, tiny traces of natural elements are almost always trapped inside. These elements are called flaws or inclusions because they are formed naturally and are unique to each stone.

Our Canadian diamonds are primarily sourced from the Diavik and Ekati mines, which are committed to high
environmental and human rights standards.
Both mines have demonstrated a strong commitment to hiring local
Indigenous people, providing a skilled apprenticeship program and sponsoring scholarship funds.
Botswana Sort diamonds are sourced from mines that follow internationally recognized labor and environmental
standards.
The majority of Botswana Sort diamonds were mined in Botswana.
The rest were mined in Namibia,
South Africa, Lesotho, or Canada.
Recycled diamonds have been mined, cut, and polished, were previously purchased, and are now being made
available again.
Because they are repurposed after a prior purchase, these diamonds require no new mining,
making them a responsible choice. This reduces the demand for new diamond mining and avoids perpetuating
ongoing abuses.
