Handcrafted · Hatton Garden, London

Natural diamonds are formed 150–200km below the Earth's surface under extreme heat and pressure over 1–3 billion years. Each natural diamond is unique — a one-of-a-kind creation of nature. For those who value rarity, tradition, and the knowledge that their diamond is a geological marvel billions of years in the making, a natural diamond is the ultimate choice.

The princess cut is a square or near-square brilliant-cut diamond that offers exceptional sparkle in a modern, geometric profile. It retains more rough diamond weight during cutting than a round brilliant, making it a strong value proposition without sacrificing fire or brilliance.
