OUR DIAMONDS
Here are some important terms to describe the unique properties of each diamond:
Carat refers to the weight of the diamond. 1 carat = 0.2 grams / 1 carat = 100 points.
Clarity means the presence, or lack of flaws. Because they are formed in nature, natural gemstones are not entirely flawless excluding the very rare ones. Almost all diamonds have slight internal and surface characteristics, most of them too small to be seen by the unaided eye. AUBREY select diamonds from VVS1 (Very, Very Small Inclusions) to SI1 and SI2 (Small Inclusions).
Colour and Cut work in tandem because our expertly skilled craftspeople can cut a gemstone to heighten its colour, brilliance and symmetry. A gemstone’s beauty often comes from its colour. AUBREY selects diamonds from the top grades D, E, F, G, H only.
AUBREY
Throughout history there has been a fascination with the beauty of gemstones and their potent properties.
The ancient Egyptians believed emeralds deepened passion and love. The Romans saw diamonds as fragments of fallen stars, sacred to Venus. In Kashmir, sapphires were thought to reflect the sky itself — a piece of heaven you could hold.
While the beauty of a sunset and a flower is temporal, a gemstone is everlasting.
AUBREY’s design ethos is to honour this beauty, to create jewellery that transports you beyond the realms of the ordinary. We understand the unique significance fine jewellery plays in our lives as markers of milestones; our intent is for our designs to carry this meaning long after the moment has passed.
Quality and integrity are the cornerstones of our company and over the past six years have established a reputation for design and service. Meticulously crafted in India, we have partnered with India's finest makers of high-end jewellery. As a company, we uphold the social responsibility of maintaining ethically sourced conflict-free diamonds and gemstones.
