origins
Invincible, indomitable, inflexible, indestructible: the Greek word “adamas”, which translates as "diamond", has multiple meanings associated with one of the most notable qualities of diamonds – their hardness.
These stones take millions and millions of years to form. They have been known since 3000 B.C. in the East and were introduced in Europe by Alexander the Great. The brilliant cut was discovered towards the end of the 14th century and, soon after, diamonds began to be set in engagement rings. They have since come to symbolise eternal love, boundless loyalty, and unbreakable bond.

present day
Every diamond is unique, extremely simple, and yet infinitely complex. The 4 Cs (cut, colour, clarity, and carat) are the traditional units of measurement, the components of cut, colour, clarity, and weight all interacting to give the diamond its unique beauty and character.
