We have been in business for over 50 years.

All of our diamonds come with full certification that includes details of the identifying characteristics and proportions of your individual diamond.In addition to this, most of our diamonds are laser inscribed for extra security. We check each diamond against its certificate before sending it to the customer, using the certificate number on the girdle which can be seen when using 20x magnification. Alternatively, you can have it checked by an independent appraiser for a small fee.

Diamond prices fluctuate according to the value of the US dollar as dimonds are traded around the world in US dollars. All prices quoted on the Diamond Emporium website are valid for 24 hours and are updated daily at 12.00 am.
For a number of reasons; we buy direct from the supply factories and in large quantities meaning we pay less so that we can pass these savings on to our customers. Because we buy from high up the supply chain we do not have to pay additional mark ups or margins from third parties along the way.
We also have partnerships with the largest diamond cutters and manufacturers around the world which gives us a high level of buying power. Lastly, as we trade almost entirely through our website we incur lower overheads than a retail chain as well as being able to hold a larger inventory. Both of these mean we can offer more competitive pricing.
We offer a lifetime warranty as well an upgrade service, details of which can be seen on our policy page. (HYPERLINK to Lifetime Warranty and Upgrades.
We offer a 14 day return policy, details can be found on our return policy page.
All of these are included in the price of your diamond, except for GST which will be added separately. Delivery outside of Australia will be charged separately too, to cover the additional cost that this incurs.

A certified diamond has been subjected to a thorough grading process by an independent, accredited laboratory who then supplies the diamond with a certificate. This certificate contains information on the individual characteristics of the diamond that allow a gemologist to to identify it upon inspection and set it apart from other diamonds. If the unique certificate number is inscribed on the diamond, it's identity can easily be verified using a strong microscope. An uncertified diamond is one that has not been through this process and therefore does not have it's own unique certificate.
This is a process by which a diamond has undergone an unnatural process to enhance it's colour or clarity. This is done either by heat treatment to make the diamond whiter or by drilling into a dark inclusion then vaporising it with a laser or chemical agent to get rid of it, then filling the hole with clear resin. Customers should always be aware if these kinds of treatments have been undertaken. Diamond Emporium does not trade with these stones as their quality and value has been compromised and they are below our standards.
When diamonds reflect a blue/yellow/green light under an ultraviolet light they are said to be luminescent of fluorescence. This is a rare phenomenon and should be highly valued. However, many members of the diamond trade see it as a negative trait but in fact fluorescence can make diamonds look better in overall colour and appearance. Diamonds with fluorescence offer good value to the customer.
Our ring collection as well as the majority of our fine jewellery comes in platinum, white gold or yellow gold. Platinum is more durable and shows fewer scratches and has a bright, modern look as does white gold. Yellow gold has a warmer hue and chic appeal.
A common misconception is that white gold and platinum are the same things and only separated by price but this is not the case. Platinum is four times stronger than white gold, does not discolour or oxidise as white gold does and is more durable. In terms of appearance, platinum has a very white and slightly duller appearance than white gold, which shines brighter. 18 karat white gold is a very good option for a customer who is looking for a purer metal at a reasonable price.
Rhodium is a metal alloy that is formed when platinum is separated and is applied to fine jewellery to create an incredibly hard protective coating on silver and gold. Rhodium also provides a white shiner and tarnish prevention.
We have a printable ring sizer for you to find your ring size, we can also send you a complimentary plastic ring sizer upon request. Alternatively, you can come into our Sydney showroom for us to measure your ring size.
Laser inscribed diamonds have their unique serial number inscribed on their girdle to allow identity verification in case of theft or after cleaning or repair. The laser inscribed serial number can only be seen under high magnification.
A diamond's 'make' refers to it's cut, finish and overall appearance. At Diamond Emporium we evaluate each diamond on a 'make' scale that takes into consideration it's proportions as well as brilliance and fire.
