Product

WHAT DOES CTW MEAN?

CTW stands for ‘total carat weight.’ When you add up the carats of all diamonds set in a Jewellers District lab diamond jewel, CTW refers to that total weight.

WHAT DOES CARAT MEAN?

At Jewellers District, the carat is the standard unit of weight for our lab-grown diamonds. One modern metric carat equals 0.2 grams, named after the carob seed once used by gem traders for its uniform weight. While carat often estimates a diamond's size, two diamonds of the same weight can differ greatly based on clarity, color, and cut.

We adhere to the GIA standard, a globally accepted method for diamond quality assessment. By grading Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat, we ensure you know exactly what goes into your jewelry, reflecting our commitment to transparency and excellence.

CAN I BUY A SETTING WITHOUT BUYING A DIAMOND OR GEMSTONE?

No, at Jewellers District, our settings and stones are not available for individual sale. Each piece is designed to be a complete work of art, combining our expertly crafted settings with our carefully selected diamonds and gemstones.

Product Care

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY JEWELLERS DISTRICT JEWELRY?

At Jewellers District, we care deeply about preserving the beauty of your jewelry while also being mindful of the environment and our water supply. That's why we encourage you to keep your jewelry in excellent condition using simple and eco-friendly cleaning methods right at home. Follow these easy steps for sparkling and happy jewels:

Step One: Gather your supplies, which are readily available at home:

  • Soft bristle toothbrush
  • Eco-friendly mild soap
  • Clean empty cup

Step Two: Create a cleaning solution by mixing warm water with a few drops of the eco-friendly mild soap in the cup.

Step Three: Dip the soft bristle toothbrush into the soapy mixture and gently brush your diamond or gemstone engagement ring, ensuring you reach under and around the stones and setting. For extra brilliance, you can repeat this process 2-3 times. Once you've thoroughly cleaned the jewelry, rinse it with warm water and gently pat it dry using a soft microfiber cloth.

A word of caution: When cleaning your jewelry, make sure not to do it over a sink with an open drain to prevent the risk of accidentally dropping the jewelry into the drain.

By following these straightforward steps, you can maintain the brilliance of your Jewellers District jewelry without the need for harsh chemicals, contributing to the well-being of our water supply and the environment.

Ring Sizing

WHAT’S MY RING SIZE?

To know your ring size, you can use the Jewellers District size guide available here. However, if you’re not sure or don’t have a ring that fits you perfectly, you can go to a jewelry store near you and they will give you your ring size.

We also have the following tips and tricks:

  • Remember, your left and right hands may differ in size, so measure the finger where you'll wear the ring most. 
  • Measure when your hands are warm, not cold, and for best results, do it a few times mid-day. 
  • Be sure to measure your knuckle as well to ensure the ring slides over it comfortably.

Planning a surprise? Ask their friends or family if they know their finger size, or discreetly borrow a ring they wear on the correct finger. Use our ring size guide to determine the perfect fit.

The Jewellers District Diamonds

WHAT ARE LAB-GROWN DIAMONDS?

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created in a controlled environment, mimicking the natural process. They possess the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. At Jewellers District, our lab-grown diamonds offer an ethical, sustainable choice without compromising on quality or beauty in our jewelry, wedding and engagement rings.

ARE LAB DIAMONDS REAL DIAMONDS?

Yes, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. They possess the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. At Jewellers District, our lab-grown diamonds offer a genuine, ethical, and sustainable alternative without compromising on quality or beauty.

WHAT IS A MINE-FREE DIAMOND?

A mine-free diamond is an ethically sourced diamond that is created in a laboratory rather than being extracted from the earth. At Jewellers District, our mine-free diamonds offer the same brilliance and quality as traditional diamonds, while promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

WHAT DOES IGI-CERTIFIED MEAN?

At Jewellers District, we offer lab-grown diamonds to cater to the varied preferences of our clients. To maintain our high standards of quality, we only select eye-clean lab-grown diamonds with impeccable cuts. As a renowned Canadian jewelry brand, we pride ourselves in maintaining the highest level of transparency about the true characteristics of your lab-grown diamond. This is why all of our lab-grown diamonds are IGI-, GIA-, or Jewellers District-certified.

The International Gemological Institute (IGI) is renowned for grading lab-created diamonds. An IGI-certified diamond has undergone the IGI’s meticulous grading process to assess its true quality.

WHAT IS A CONFLICT DIAMOND?

A conflict diamond is a diamond mined in war zones and fund violence, human rights abuses, and environmental destruction. At Jewellers District, we are committed to providing only ethically sourced, mine-free diamonds to ensure our jewelry does not contribute to these harmful practices.

HOW IS JEWELLERS DISTRICT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER RETAILERS THAT CLAIM THEY OFFER CONFLICT FREE DIAMONDS?

At Jewellers District, our gemology experts meticulously select and curate our mine-free diamonds. While many diamonds on the market are labeled “conflict-free,” they can still be tied to human rights violations or violence. We strictly avoid sourcing from suppliers with inadequate working conditions, low wages, and harsh environmental impacts. Our commitment to transparency and ethical practices is why founder Yoan Gehant chose to offer lab-grown diamonds, providing a truly responsible, mine-free alternative. Unlike others, we leverage our industry expertise to ensure our supply chain meets the highest standards of integrity.

DO ETHICALLY-SOURCED DIAMONDS COST MORE?

No, ethically-sourced diamonds do not necessarily cost more. In fact, lab-grown diamonds, which are produced in higher volumes compared to mined natural diamonds, often offer a more affordable option without compromising on quality or ethics. At Jewellers District, we ensure you receive exceptional value with our responsibly sourced, mine-free diamonds.

WHAT DOES REAL-TIME DIAMOND PRICING MEAN?

Real-time diamond pricing means that our diamond prices are updated continuously based on current market conditions. This ensures you always get the best value when you shop with us. Our website adjusts prices daily, reflecting the latest market fluctuations, so you can trust that you’re receiving competitive and fair pricing on every purchase.

IS MY DIAMOND LASER INSCRIBED?

Yes, IGI-certified diamonds are laser inscribed on the girdle with an identification number. This ensures authenticity and traceability for your peace of mind.

The Jewellers District Gemstones

WHERE DO YOU SOURCE YOUR GEMSTONES FROM?

At Jewellers District, we source our gemstones from responsible suppliers in Sri Lanka, Canada, and the United States, to name a few. We are committed to ensuring that every gemstone meets our high standards for ethical sourcing and sustainability.

ARE JEWELLERS DISTRICT’S GEMSTONES ETHICALLY SOURCED?

Yes, Jewellers District’s gemstones are ethically sourced. Our team of in-house gemologists hand-select each gemstone that goes into a Jewellers District jewel from trusted suppliers, ensuring they meet our high standard for ethical sourcing and sustainability. Our commitment to integrity and transparency ensures you can trust the origins of every gemstone in our collection, whether it be a gemstone engagement ring or a gemstone fine jewelry piece for everyday wear.

Sustainable Materials

WHAT IS RECYCLED GOLD?

Recycled gold is gold that has been reclaimed from previously manufactured items, such as jewelry, electronics, and industrial products. Instead of mining new gold, we reuse existing gold, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability. At Jewellers District, we are committed to using recycled gold in our pieces, ensuring high quality while supporting eco-friendly practices.

HOW DOES USING RECYCLED GOLD IMPACT QUALITY?

Using recycled gold does not impact quality. Recycled gold maintains the same purity and durability as newly mined gold. At Jewellers District, we ensure our pieces crafted from recycled gold meet the highest standards of excellence, offering you both quality and sustainability.

WHICH GOLD OPTIONS DOES JEWELLERS DISTRICT OFFER?

Jewellers District offers 14K and 10k white, yellow, and rose gold options for fine jewelry. Our engagement rings are only available in 14K white, yellow, and rose gold. We do not offer silver, gold-plating, or platinum.
