Why Choose a Rough Diamond for Your Engagement Ring or Jewellery?

Why Would You Buy a Rough Diamond?

If you're looking for a diamond that feels meaningful, personal, and unlike anything you’ve seen in high street windows, a rough diamond might just be the perfect choice.

1. No Two Are Alike

Rough diamonds are raw, untouched by cutting or polishing. Each one forms over billions of years, with its own texture, shape, and character. When you commission a piece using a rough diamond, you’re not just buying a ring, you’re choosing a natural sculpture created by the Earth itself. No two are ever the same.

2. Perfect for Bespoke Jewellery

If you're dreaming of a unique engagement ring or a piece that reflects your story, rough diamonds are ideal. Their organic shapes invite creativity, and I work closely with clients to design handmade diamond rings around the stone’s natural form. This allows for a truly one-of-a-kind result, crafted just for you.

3. An Ethical and Meaningful Choice

I source my rough diamonds from trusted suppliers who comply with the Kimberley Process ethics. By working with the stone as it is, I also reduce waste and avoid the industrial polishing process, a more mindful, respectful way of creating jewellery.

4. Raw Beauty with Real Depth

Rough diamonds are for those who see beauty in imperfection. Their uncut surfaces often hold glints of light in surprising ways, and many carry rare internal features that would be cut away in traditional faceted diamonds. They have a quiet power, honest, earthy, and elegant.

5. Designed and Made in My London Studio

I specialise in bespoke rough diamond rings and alternative engagement jewellery. Each piece is handmade with care, celebrating the unique form of the stone and the story behind your commission. Whether you’re marking a proposal, anniversary, or personal milestone, I’ll help you create something that lasts a lifetime – and still feels deeply personal.
