Throughout history, diamonds have been revered as fragments of the divine, stars fallen to earth, tears of the gods, or lightning crystallized in stone. Today, they remain at the heart of high jewelry, treasured for both their natural rarity and the artistry required to unlock their brilliance. Their story is one of beauty and power, a reflection of nature’s perfection and human devotion to excellence.

At George Hakim, we are uncompromising in our diamond selection. Beyond the strict gemological standards of the 4Cs, we seek only stones that carry a soul, those with exceptional presence and beauty. Every diamond we choose must meet the highest standards of excellence, adhering to a philosophy that is as demanding as it is passionate.

We select carat weights that enhance design and harmony. Each diamond is proportioned to reveal its maximum beauty and brilliance.

The cut is where mastery meets light. Even the purest diamond cannot reveal its fire without precision in angles, symmetry, and polish. An excellent cut transforms a diamond from simple crystal to living brilliance, a reflection of our artistry as jewelers united with nature’s perfection.

When it comes to color, we favor stones that radiate pure, vibrant light, from icy whites to the most refined fancy shades. Each diamond within a creation is carefully matched; we never mix color tones, ensuring that every jewel displays perfect visual harmony.

For clarity, we select only diamonds of exceptional purity, predominantly VVS clarity, where any natural inclusions are invisible to the naked eye, preserving each gem’s flawless appearance and inner light.

Despite its unmatched hardness, diamonds should always be treated with care. Household chemicals may dull the brilliance of their setting, and diamonds can scratch one another if stored together. We recommend cleaning gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, followed by drying with a lint-free cloth. To preserve their glow, store your jewels in our George Hakim boxes or GH pouches, designed to protect and honor their radiance while surrounding them with elegance.

Where white diamonds embody purity and timeless perfection, colored
diamonds speak of personality and rarity. Their beauty is never ordinary, and
their presence transforms a jewel into something unforgettable.

Yellow diamonds radiate warmth and joy, glowing with a golden energy.
Blue diamonds bring depth and mystery, evoking elegance and serenity. Pink and
red diamonds are the most coveted, vibrant with passion and desire, while
orange diamonds stand as some of the rarest treasures of all. Green diamonds
carry the freshness of life, while brown diamonds, often called champagne or
cognac, enchant with their refined earth tones that range from soft amber to
deep mocha. Black diamonds add a dramatic presence, bold and powerful, perfect
for daring designs.

At George Hakim, we select colored diamonds with exceptional care,
ensuring each one meets the highest standards of beauty and character. Whether
set as the centerpiece of a high jewelry creation or woven into a design that
plays with contrast, they are chosen for the emotion they bring to our work.
These stones are as rare as they are expressive, and they have become essential
to our vision of modern elegance.

Care
Like all diamonds, colored diamonds are enduring, yet they deserve attention to keep their brilliance at its best. We recommend gentle cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. Store them in our George Hakim boxes or GH pouches to protect them from scratches and preserve their beauty.

Colored diamonds are more than jewels. For us, they are statements of individuality, rare expressions of creativity, and some of the most captivating treasures ever shaped into fine jewelry.
