Purchase of rough diamonds
We are buyers of rough diamonds for jewelry. The diamonds may come from Africa, Canada, Russia or Australia. 
Gem quality diamonds can be found in rivers or by digging deep into the earth. They occur naturally in a range of different forms. There are several different types of rough stone: "Sawable" stones: These are the most popular and have an octahedral shape (like two pyramids stuck together at the base). When you find yourself in the presence of a stone like this one in the African bush, you know that you have found something exceptional, both in its purity and in its whiteness: eternity than can be held in your hands. A stone like this will be cut and yield two round cut stones. The more the rough diamond has balanced proportions the better the stones will be when cut and polished. "Spotted" stones: These are also well-formed single crystals, but are not pure because they contain black or white inclusions that can be removed by cutting after a careful study. These stones are used to cut pear , marquise and oval shapes. Irregular stones: These are octahedral or dodecahedral stones of irregular shape. They are carved directly, no need to cleave or saw them. Coated stones : are stones whose quality is unkwown at the time of finding because they are covered with a sort of skin that has to be removed during the cleavage. In the Central African Republic and Zaire this type of stone is very common. The presentation of rough diamonds will be held at our office in Antwerp. Our office located in the Diamond Bourse will provide maximum security to the seller. A passport will be required by the security guards at the entrance of the Exchange.
