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.

The cut refers to the angles and proportions of a diamond. The cut of a diamond—its depth and width, and the uniformity of the facets—determines its beauty. The skill with which a diamond is cut determines how well it reflects and refracts light.

Length-to-Width Ratio –The length-to-width ratio compares the length of a diamond to its width to show how elongated a fancy-shaped diamond appears when viewed from the top. Length-to-width ratio is a matter of personal preference with some individuals preferring a more elongated shape and others a more equal or square shape. The most popular length-to-width ratios for fancy shapes are below.
Ex. A princess-cut diamond that measures 5.05 mm long by 5.00mm has a length-to-width ratio of 1.01 (5.05/5.00), and will appear perfectly square.

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.
