Buyer's Guides
Chisholm Hunter are specialists in diamond engagement rings and certificated diamonds. Our diamond rings can be made to order and designed to any specification.
Diamonds were formed from pure carbon that crystallised under immense heat and pressure hundreds of miles below sea level. 100 million years later, volcanic explosions forced them upwards to the earth's surface, exposing their beauty to the world.
Diamonds are rare because only a few survived the journey to the surface. Only about half of diamonds mined today are of gem quality and even fewer are large enough to be polished into a stone that is bigger than a match head. Since nature never repeats itself, each diamond is unique.
We are drawn to diamonds not only for their natural beauty, but also because of the history and magic associated with them. There is no gem as rare, beautiful, indestructible and meaningful. It is these qualities that have made the diamond the ultimate symbol of love.
Diamond jewellery speaks louder than words - and it lasts more than just a lifetime. Nothing says "I Love You" like a diamond.
Certainly, diamond jewellery’s romantic past makes it a natural gift for lovers to bestow on one another.
Diamond jewellery has been ascribed with many mystical properties over the ages: everything from ensuring health, wealth, power and luck to its wearers. It’s also an important marker that we use as a gift to celebrate many of life’s milestones.
