From Canada’s Gahcho Kué Mine to you, coming soon ✨👀
Perfectly imperfect misfit diamonds, these are a little different from the diamonds your grandparents may have had. Traditionally, diamonds were always celebrated for their absence of inclusions. We were taught that flawlessness (or as close as we could possibly get to it) was the goal, and that absence of colour and imperfections were the only metrics for evaluation the beauty of a stone.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always found that the beauty in nature and in life tends to be messy, and that imperfections like Wood grain, veins in marble, nuance of colour, these are all things that natural beauty it’s character.
These misfits lie somewhere outside of the traditional metrics for diamonds. They are lower clarity than I1-I3, and many of them carry a tint of colour (greys, greens, black, silver, brown, red, orange, etc). 20-30 years ago, they were considered unfit for fine jewelry and cast aside.
I’ve always always had a thing for misfits. The island of the misfit toys was one of my favourite parts in the Rudolph Christmas movie, and I’ve always felt like a bit of a misfit in this industry. Naturally, it was weird, off-the-beaten-path diamonds that caught my eye and gained my curiosity. Mineral inclusions, trigons, unique colours (don’t get me started on Fancy Grey and Fancy White Diamonds), shapes and cuts felt way more interesting than traditional colourless, high-clarity diamonds. While there is plenty to love about a Flawless D colour diamond, we think the definition of beauty can expand beyond them. Each of these diamonds is a geological treasure; a crystallization of earth, heat and pressure over millions of years into a one of one natural creation, framed in facets by human hands.
These misfits are part of our upcoming drop of mine to market Canadian Diamonds from the Gahcho Kué Mine. Individually traced from rough to polish, we’re excited to send them out into the wild. Look for them to hit the site next week (email subscribers can expect an early access link later this week).
