We believe that crafting our diamonds by hand results in the kinds of stones you’ve only ever dreamed about. Our expert diamond-cutting techniques make your wildest dreams: a diamond, more luminous stone that catches the eye and demands attention. Each Northern Star diamond was crafted by master diamond cutters fashioning the stone with 90 facets, 32 more than a traditional diamond. The extra facets, requiring additional time, craftsmanship, and expertise, help to prevent light from “leaking” out of the back of the diamond. These strategic cuts maximize the amount of light that is returned to the viewer making it visibly brighter.
