Industry Overview: The Diamond Universe
The diamond industry is a multi-billion dollar global enterprise, built upon the enduring appeal of these precious gemstones. From engagement rings to high-end jewelry, diamonds hold a unique position as symbols of love, commitment, and status. The industry is broadly divided into several key sectors:
Mining: This sector focuses on the extraction of rough diamonds from the earth. Major mining regions include Africa (Botswana, South Africa, Angola), Russia (Siberia), Canada, and Australia. Ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility are increasingly important considerations in this sector.
Manufacturing: This is where rough diamonds are transformed into polished gemstones. Cutting, polishing, and grading are the core activities. Key manufacturing centers include India, China, Israel, and Belgium, as well as emerging centers like Toronto.
Wholesale: Wholesalers act as intermediaries between manufacturers and retailers, buying diamonds in bulk and distributing them to jewelry stores and other outlets. They play a crucial role in maintaining supply chain efficiency.
Retail: This sector involves the sale of diamonds directly to consumers, primarily through jewelry stores, online retailers, and specialized diamond dealers.
The diamond industry is also heavily influenced by several factors:
The 4Cs: Cut, Clarity, Carat, and Color are the universally recognized grading criteria that determine a diamond’s value.
Certification: Independent gemological laboratories like GIA (Gemological Institute of America), IGI (International Gemological Institute), and HRD Antwerp provide unbiased diamond grading reports that enhance consumer confidence.
Market Trends: Consumer preferences, economic conditions, and fashion trends all play a role in shaping demand for different types of diamonds.
Our Specialization: Small Round Diamonds (1.00mm)
We specialize in the production of small, round diamonds, specifically those with a diameter of 1.00mm. These diamonds, often referred to as melee diamonds, are highly versatile and widely used in the jewelry industry. Their diminutive size makes them ideal for:
Pave Settings: Creating a shimmering surface by setting numerous small diamonds closely together.
Accent Stones: Adding sparkle and brilliance to larger center stones.
Halo Settings: Surrounding a larger center stone with a circle of smaller diamonds.
Channel Settings: Setting diamonds in a continuous line within a metal channel.
Micro-Pave Settings: An even more delicate form of pave setting, using extremely small diamonds.
The demand for small round diamonds is consistently high due to their affordability and versatility. They allow designers to create intricate and visually stunning pieces without significantly increasing the overall cost.
SI1-SI2 Clarity: Balancing Beauty and Value
Clarity refers to the absence of inclusions (internal flaws) and blemishes (surface flaws) in a diamond. The clarity scale ranges from Flawless (FL) to Included (I3). SI1 and SI2 clarity grades indicate that the diamond has slight inclusions that are visible under 10x magnification.
For small diamonds like 1.00mm rounds, SI1-SI2 clarity offers an excellent balance between beauty and value. While inclusions are present, they are generally not noticeable to the naked eye, especially when the diamonds are set in jewelry. This allows us to offer high-quality diamonds at a more affordable price point compared to higher clarity grades.
We meticulously inspect each diamond to ensure that the inclusions do not significantly detract from its brilliance or structural integrity. Our experienced graders carefully assess the size, number, position, and nature of the inclusions to ensure that they meet our stringent quality standards.

Specifications: A Deeper Dive
Our specialization in 1.00mm round diamonds with SI1-SI2 clarity allows us to offer unparalleled expertise and quality in this niche market. We understand the critical importance of precision and consistency for applications like pave settings and accent stones.
Size: 1.00mm (tolerance: +/- 0.02mm). We maintain tight tolerances to ensure consistent sizing for easy setting. We can accommodate slightly different millimeter sizes upon request for custom orders.
Shape: Round Brilliant Cut. This is the most popular and widely used diamond cut, maximizing brilliance and fire. The round brilliant cut is specifically optimized for light performance.
Clarity: SI1-SI2. As described previously, this clarity grade offers a good balance between appearance and cost-effectiveness. The inclusions are typically not visible without magnification.
Color: We offer a range of color grades to suit your specific needs. The most common are:
G-H: Near colorless, with slight hints of color that are difficult to detect.
I-J: Faint color, slightly more noticeable than G-H.
We can also source diamonds in other color grades upon request.
Cut: Our diamonds are carefully cut to maximize brilliance, fire, and scintillation. We strive for excellent proportions, symmetry, and polish. Our cutting grades range from Excellent to Good.
Carat Weight: Each 1.00mm diamond weighs approximately 0.005 carats. This is an important consideration for pricing and ordering.
Finish: Excellent Polish and Symmetry are crucial for maximizing light reflection and brilliance.
Girdle: We aim for thin to medium girdles to ensure durability and prevent chipping. Girdle thickness plays a vital role in diamond durability.

The availability of these colored diamonds depends on market availability and client specifications. Custom color matching services are also available.

Certifications: Assurance of Quality and Authenticity
We understand the importance of certification in building trust and ensuring consumer confidence. While individual certification for 1.00mm diamonds is not always practical due to the cost, we offer the following options:
