Transparent and colourless diamonds
The name Diamond is derived from the Greek word “Adamas” which means unconquerable. The Diamond is composed of pure carbon that has been crystallised under enormous heat and pressure from deep within the earth. Diamond is the hardest known naturally occurring substance known to man. It has a hardness of 10 on the MOHS Table of Hardness. Diamond is mostly found transparent and colourless, however, it is found in various yellows, pinks, cognac, browns, blues, and black. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century, diamonds were worn only by men. Diamonds were once considered a talisman against phantoms and nightmares and were also supposed to give courage and virtue to soldiers in battle. We have the largest selection of GIA certified diamonds in the UK. We also stock Cushions, Marquise, Oval and Heart shape with no Bow Ties.

Rubies and sapphire stones
Ruby, like Sapphire, is a variety of the mineral, corundum. Most Rubies are mined in Thailand, Burma, Sri Lanka and Africa. All locations produce gemstones of varying sizes, qualities and colours of red. Ruby is one of the most durable of all gemstones. To ensure long-lasting enjoyment of your Ruby jewellery protect it from hard blows and scratches.
Various coloured gemstones
Diamond has remarkable optical characteristics. Because of its extremely rigid lattice, it can be contaminated by very few types of impurities, such as boron and nitrogen. Combined with wide transparency, this results in the clear, colourless appearance of most natural diamonds. Small amounts of defects or impurities (about one per million of lattice atoms) colour diamond blue (boron), yellow (nitrogen), brown (lattice defects), green (radiation exposure), purple, pink, orange or red. Diamond also has relatively high optical dispersion (ability to disperse light of different colours), which results in its characteristic lustre. Excellent optical and mechanical properties, combined with efficient marketing, make diamond the most popular gemstone.
