Natural Diamonds are made of highly organised carbon atoms and are formed over billions of years deep beneath the Earth's surface. Over the years, Diamonds have become a symbol of love and commitment and valued for their complexity, beauty and timelessness.
Diamonds are the hardest natural mineral substance. They are rated a ten on the Mohs Scale of hardness, making them a perfect choice for a piece that is made to be worn for life.
Diamonds are abundant, their value coming from what they represent. While all Diamonds are not created equally (when it comes to Diamond Grading) each is beautiful in its own right and depends on personal preference.
At Louise Jean, we offer a wide variety of diamond options to suit a range of budget and tastes.
Louise Jean Jewellery is committed to providing our customers with high-quality, timeless jewellery without compromising our brand values. Traceability and responsibility are integral to our operations, and these values are the backbone to our social and environmental standards when sourcing the diamonds for our pieces. We work with respected and trusted suppliers who are in compliance with the requirements of the System of Warranties, from the mine, to cutting, to market. They are sold on the guarantee that the diamonds originate from legitimate sources and are strictly in compliance with the laws and resolutions set in place by the United Nations.
All of our diamonds are hand-selected and ordered on a case-by-case basis as we rarely carry a diamond inventory. Stock on-hand can limit the range of suitable options, as each client has their own unique needs and preferences. We believe our clients deserve to have access to a broader range of possibilities. Having access to these allows us to source ‘the best’ and to be presented with a wider variety of choice.
Sourcing remotely does not mean that you won’t get to see the diamond before you buy it. All of our trusted suppliers provide high-definition videos and photos that show every little detail. They also provide a grading certificate with all of the diamonds technical information. We would never recommend a diamond we aren’t proud of, so you can rest assured we provide only the best options that meet your criteria and budget.
A cultured diamond is precisely that, a diamond. These are chemically, optically and physically identical to earth-mined diamonds. The terms lab-grown, man-made or cultured diamond, are used interchangeably across the jewellery industry and are merely used to describe the scientific process involved in creating a diamond 'above-ground'.

These diamonds are grown under highly elaborate and controlled laboratory conditions that replicate the Earth’s natural growth process of crystallising carbon. This means each individual diamond crystal will have variation in appearance and grading, just like diamonds formed naturally. And much like a mined diamond, the value is primarily determined by the carat weight and quality grading, however you can expect a considerable price difference between the two.
Traditionally, Diamonds with inclusions or 'flaws', were considered worthless and not admired or sought out despite their unique beauty. No two rustic Diamonds are the same and a truely one-of-a-kind in their nature. We like to consider these the 'finger prints' of the diamond world. Their complex inclusions and unique details prove that 'perfect' doesn't define beauty.
Salt and Pepper diamonds can come in a myriad of intricate shapes and sizes, and the colour palettes are also as extensive and exciting. Louise Jean Jewellery handpicks each stone for these reasons,
