A Nordic Fire diamond begins its journey deep inside the Diavik mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The Diavik mine is known for the impeccable quality of its large, colourless stones. The mark of quality begins right at the source, and so it continues. Thus, the mine is operated by the Rio Tinto Diamond Company, one of the world’s most well-regarded diamond mining companies. And importantly, as a Canadian mine, it is in an issue-free zone.

 

 

 

For over 500 years, Antwerp has been the centre of the world’s diamond trade and this is the next step in a Nordic Fire diamond’s journey. Rough stones are sent direct to Crisdiam, one of Antwerp’s most reputable diamond companies. This Antwerp diamond company has a proud diamond tradition, with a reputation for knowledge, passion and integrity. Founded in 1970, with the original families still at the helm today, this company can trace its polishing activities in Antwerp back to 1898. Here in Antwerp, the Nordic Fire diamond is selected and subsequently cut and polished by Crisdiam’s master craftsmen. In an age where much of the diamond craft has become semi-industrialised in Asia, the Nordic Fire stone is handled by only the very best professionals in Antwerp. These expert craftsmen continue a centuries-old tradition, working painstakingly to reveal the true beauty of the stone.

The finishing touch for any Nordic Fire diamond is to laser-inscribe a half Maple leaf and individual identification number on its girdle. Invisible to the naked eye, this identification number means you can verify its authenticity as a genuine Nordic Fire diamond. For example, you can enter this number into the Nordic Fire website to verify it is a genuine Nordic Fire diamond and access other information about it. Also, every diamond is dual certified: first by our own rigorous quality appraisal and then independently by the Geomological Institute of America.

 

From when the rough stone is plucked from the earth until Nordic Fire’s half Maple leaf is inscribed on a polished gem, the Nordic Fire diamond only ever know the highest standards of diamond excellence. It is these standards that instill pure beauty into every Nordic Fire diamond.
