The Diamond with a Second Life
American Diamonds - Refined are our answer to a real question: the world already contains an abundance of beautiful natural diamonds. Why insist on new mining when stones with their own histories can be returned to the market, expertly re-cut to today's standards, and worn for the next century?
Each American Diamond - Refined is sourced from within the United States through a vertically integrated supply chain, re-cut to optimize light performance and proportions, and GIA-regraded to reflect its current quality. Sustainable, traceable, and beautifully made.
How to Choose
The Four C's of Diamonds
Every diamond is graded against four characteristics: cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.
Together, they determine how a diamond performs visually and what it costs.
