Our business prides itself on the professionalism and experience in which we conduct our business - with safety, reliability, fairness, and goodwill. We strive to deliver the best product at the best price, with a passion and artistic vision for creating magnificence through one of the Earth's rarest and most beautiful creations. Our journey is a shared passion with our customers and partners. We source quality rough diamonds from auctions in South Africa, Belgium and Dubai, in addition to direct purchases from our diamond industry network. We also maintain our own buying operations based in several African countries, purchasing stones from small local producers, witnessing the direct mining of stones as they are retrieved from the ground. This allows for rigorous vetting of ethical practices, consistent with our purchasing policies - only sourcing from legitimately certified sources who abide by the Kimberley Process.

Rough diamonds are sold in auctions conducted by one of our companies, DDA Trading BVBA in Antwerp, Belgium, using our proprietary online diamond trading platform. Prior to each auction, our clients can inspect offered diamond parcels at viewings held in Antwerp, ...Read More
