1. Where do your recycled diamonds come from?

The majority of our melee diamonds are natural recycled diamonds. These diamonds are ethically sourced from across the jewelry industry. We buy from businesses that buy back from the public such as jewelers, pawn shops and at diamond auction. In addition, we buy from jewelry brands/manufacturers who are looking to close out of their stock.

2. What are the cut grades of your diamonds?

Our diamonds are VG or EX cut by GIA standards. After purchase, we assort all diamonds very carefully and any diamonds that do not meet this standard are sent to our factory for re-manufacture. All re-manufacturing is done at our factory in India.

3. What color are your diamonds?

Our melee diamond price card is for G/H color diamonds. We are very selective in the diamonds used in our melee program. If you need higher or lower colors we can accommodate that request upon request. DEF color would be a 10% premium higher than the prices on the price card, and IJ color is a 10% discount from the prices on the price card.

4. How do I know your diamonds are natural and not lab-grown?

As a recycler of natural diamonds, we take the utmost care and time to thoroughly test all of our diamonds. We do this using the DeBeers Synth Detect machine. Each parcel of diamonds goes through several checks before ever being put into stock. We check all parcels before purchasing, when they return from being recut, and when we get returns from customers. We stand by our product and go the extra mile to ensure that our diamonds are 100% natural.

5. Why is there a premium charged for ordering matched millimeters in the pointers (1/5ths and larger)?

We charge a 5% premium for ordering 5 or more stones with matching millimeters in our 1/5th size parcels and larger. The reason being is that most people tend to order the prime sizes in a parcel, which generally speaking are the larger millimeter and higher carat weight stones in that size range, which have value than the smaller stones.

When we are buying pointers by size range, they come in a variety of millimeter sizes and weights (i.e 1/5s range from 0.17cts-0.22cts). Each size range has “prime sizes” and “off sizes”. We will sell through the prime sizes of the parcel and be left with the off sizes of the parcel. In order to clear out our stock and make room for new fresh goods, we will sell these off sizes at an extremely competitive price, usually for a loss. To balance out the cost of the parcel, this is why we charge a premium for 5 or more diamonds with matching millimeters in the pointers.
