Diamonds. They are one of the rarest and most desired gemstones in the world. There is no other stone quite like it. So, what are they anyway? A diamond is a mineral composed of carbon that crystalized and formed approximately 100 miles below the earth's surface at extremely high temperatures and pressures. It is found in the most remote places on earth, and the fact that it forms at all is something of a miralce. It takes about one ton of rock to recover less than half a carat of rough! A diamond is the ultimate symbol of love, because besides being beautiful, diamonds are the hardest of all known natural substances. So, like your love, your diamond will stand the test of time.

Diamonds are wonders of nature, but a finished diamond is also a work of art. Before a diamond reaches you as you know it, it must be cut, polished, and finished to reveal its beauty. A skilled cutter must look at a rough diamond the way an artist looks at a blank canvas; they see what a magnificent piece of art it can become. A diamond must be cut precisely for it to become brilliant, sparkly, and almost alive with fire and scintillation. Therefore, before you see your timeless treasure, it has been cut with fine proportions, symmetry, and polish in order to maximize its beauty and overall appearance. At The Integrity Jewelers, we only carry the finest of cuts in diamonds, with the best polish and finish, to ensure that you receive only the most spectacular diamond. We want you to have a diamond to be admired and treasured forever, a diamond that you will give an amazing story to as you wear it throughour your life. And remember that your diamond already has a wonderful story to tell. It has had an arduous journey from deep inside the earth to a master diamond cutter to becoming your cherished thing of beauty that will last forever!
