On Cut, and Character

Diamond cutting has gone through many phases in its long, tangled history with us humans.
We're drawn to a time before standardization-when cuts were made by hand, and light fell through wider, less predictable facets.  
Old-European,old-mines- they don't sparkle in a million points.  
They glow, they whisper, free from the definition of parameters.  
We like that. It feels closer, and more human.

Our stones are cut to show their presence-not perfection.

To reveal something of their shape, their weight, their way of catching light.

A Lighter Stone, A Freer Meaning

We've come across some really important stones, some 30 carats, some 200 years old. Too much meaning is carried in a traditional diamond.
Legacy, tradition, ego and expectation- some treasured, some never yours to begin with.

Lab-grown diamonds feel different, They're the same crystal, without the narrative.  They let us choose what meaning we give them without the weight of extraction, or implication.

We present this freedom to you.

A stone that carries only what you ask of it.
