Find Your Perfect Diamond with Us: From Classic to Coloured,
We Offer High-Quality Certified Stones for Your Jewellery Creation.

With so many diamonds on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. That’s why we ensure that every diamond we provide is of the highest quality, beauty, and durability. We are committed to your satisfaction and provide all the information you need to know about your diamond.

Our 0.25ct. and larger diamonds come with an official grading report from GIA (the Gemological Institute of America). This includes details about the diamond’s characteristics, such as colour, clarity, and carat weight. The report also includes a unique report number that is assigned to your stone. This number is also laser inscribed onto your stone. 

We also offer a variety of coloured diamonds, including pink, yellow, blue, champagne, and black.

The 4Cs

Diamond Selection: Understanding the 4 C's - Cut, Color, Carat Weight, and Clarity.

Choosing the perfect diamond can be overwhelming, but the 4C's are the universal standard used to assess the characteristics of a stone. We'll guide you through these factors to help you make an informed decision. We will discuss your needs with you and suggest the perfect diamond for you. With our expertise and attention to detail, you can trust that you'll be getting a diamond of the highest quality and beauty.

The Cut: A Crucial Factor in Diamond Beauty and Brilliance

The cut of a diamond refers to the angles and proportions of the stone. It is one of the most important factors that affect its beauty and brilliance. A well-cut diamond reflects light from one facet to another and then disperses it through the top of the stone. As a result, creating a mesmerizing sparkle that catches the eye.

When a diamond is cut too deep or too shallow, light leaks out through the sides or bottom of the stone, reducing its brilliance and overall value. At The One, we only offer diamonds with superior cut grades to ensure that you receive a diamond with maximum beauty, sparkle, and value. Our diamond experts can help you understand the importance of cut and assist you in selecting a diamond that is cut to perfection.

Clarity: A Critical Factor in Diamond Quality and Value

The clarity of a diamond refers to the absence or presence of flaws, or inclusions, within the stone. These inclusions can be natural or a result of the diamond's formation process. The fewer inclusions a diamond has, the higher its clarity grade and value.

We only offer diamonds with high clarity grades to ensure that you receive a stone that is beautiful and valuable. We carefully inspect each diamond to identify any inclusions and only select diamonds with minimal to no visible inclusions under magnification.

Colour: A Vital Aspect of Diamond Beauty and Rarity

The colour of a diamond is another important factor in determining its quality and value. Diamond colour is graded on a scale from D (colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The less colour a diamond has, the higher its colour grade and value.

We offer diamonds in a range of colour grades to fit your preferences and budget. Our diamond experts carefully select diamonds with exceptional colour to ensure that you receive a stone that is both beautiful and rare. We can guide you through the colour grading process and help you select a diamond with the perfect colour to complement your unique style and setting.

Carat Weight: A Major Factor in Diamond Size and Value

Carat weight is a measure of a diamond's weight, with one-carat equivalent to 0.2 grams. The larger the diamond, the higher its carat weight and value.

We offer diamonds in a range of carat weights to fit your preferences and budget. Our diamond experts can guide you in selecting a diamond that strikes the perfect balance between size and quality to fit your unique needs and preferences. Whether you are looking for a statement piece or a delicate accent stone, we can help you find a diamond that fits your vision and budget.
