DIAMONDS & SETTINGS
We are the leaders in Antique Diamonds. We have the world's largest inventory of genuine Old European, Old Mine & Antique Cushion Cut diamonds. We also sell a collection of our own Candle Cut lab grown antique cut diamonds.
Absolutely, our natural stones are genuine antique diamonds meaning they were cut approx 80-120+ years ago.
Sure, just let us know which stones you're interested in and we will send you detailed videos and photos.
Almost all of our natural diamonds have GIA reports (certificates). Our CandleCut lab grown diamonds have IGI reports.
We have been acquiring antique diamonds for over 30 years. All of the diamonds we show on our site are owned by us. We do not list outside vendor's diamonds. Since we own our inventory, almost all of our diamonds are in-house and available for you to see.
Both! Although the majority of the diamonds in our inventory are loose we do offer completely custom designed & stock rings set with some of our most beautiful diamonds.
Our designers will work closely with you to design the ring of your dreams. Our process utilizes CAD drawings and 3D plastic models so that you can see your design come to life. We work at your pace making sure every detail is met and your ring is perfect from top to bottom.
Normally we can design and create a custom ring in approx 15 working days. Already have a hot-air balloon rented? We can work even quicker if you're under a tight deadline.
We are here to help! Show us pics of your inspiration. It can be a ring design you've always loved or bits and pieces from several designs. We will create your custom ring together one detail at a time.
Once your ring or jewelry is finished we will make you a full insurance appraisal. This (PDF) document is what your insurance company will require when you request coverage. The appraisal will list all of the jewelry details including a replacement value.
We do! If your diamond has a GIA report please forward us the report number and we will let you know what we would pay for your diamond. If your stone does not have a GIA report, we will need to evaluate the diamond in person so that we can grade it and offer you a quote. Sending your diamond to us is safe, simple and FREE. We will email you a prepaid, fully insured Fedex overnight label. The entire process only takes one day and if you decide not to sell, we will overnight your stone right back to you.
