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 Natural Mined Diamonds, Cultured/ Lab-Grown Diamonds & Rustic Diamonds.
Louise Jean Jewellery is committed to providing our customers with high-quality fine jewellery without compromising our ethical values. We work with respected diamond suppliers who are in compliance with the requirements of the System of Warranties and adhere to the standards established by the Kimberly Process laid down by the United Nations.
Louise Jean has a zero-tolerance policy towards conflict mining, corrupt trade and the industry behind 'blood' diamonds. We value awareness and transparency and believe in the importance of knowing where each Diamond comes from.
All of our diamonds are hand-selected and ordered on a case-by-case basis as we do not carry a diamond inventory. Stock on-hand can restrict 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. Diamond stock and supply levels are continually being updated with newer options and having access to these allow us to find ‘the best’ or 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.
The terms lab-grown, man-made or cultured diamonds are used interchangeably across the jewellery industry and are merely used to describe the scientific process of growing diamonds. A cultured diamond is precisely that, a diamond. Over the past couple of years at Louise Jean, we have seen more and more clients opt for Lab-Grown Diamonds
These diamonds are grown under highly controlled laboratory conditions that replicate the earth’s natural growth process of crystallising carbon. As the laboratory process mimics the natural growth of mined diamonds the same variations occur in carat, colour and clarity. Just like mined diamonds, no two diamonds are exactly alike.
Much like mined diamonds, cultured diamonds are priced based on their quality and therefore can vary in price. The costs to cut, polish, and grade diamonds is the same, regardless of the origin: grown or mined. It is because of the source of cultured diamonds that the cost to purchase is comparatively less than a mined diamond.
Traditionally, Diamonds with 'flaws' were considered worthless and not admired or sought out despite their unique beauty. This is no longer the case as people now appreciate the beauty that is the Rustic (or raw) Diamond. No two rustic Diamonds are the same. Due to their complex inclusions and unique details, proving that beauty doesn't need to mean perfection. These Rustic 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.
