Each Facets of Fire diamond is expertly cut for you by our diamond artisans. Using patented technology, we etch hundreds of thousands of invisible nanoprisms onto the pavilion of a beautifully polished natural diamond, creating facets within facets. As white
light passes through these nanoprisms, it releases thrilling bursts of sparkle and fire and increases the diamond’s brilliance. The result is an astonishingly brighter diamond with 7x more sparkle, fire, and brilliance.
Facets of Fire diamonds are hand-selected from the best, most beautiful natural diamonds. Only the top 1% of the world’s rough diamonds meet their strict standards for quality and can become Facets of Fire diamonds.
More Sparkle. More Fire. More Brilliance. A difference you can see - a natural diamond that’s more beautiful.
Facets of Fire diamonds are beautiful inside and out. Every diamond is ethically sourced, conflict-free, and naturally mined, adhering to the strict global standards of the Kimberley Process and the Responsible Jewelry Council, both dedicated to eliminating all conflict diamonds.

Born in South Africa to jeweler parents, William was immersed into the jewelry industry at a young age, giving him firsthand insight to the specific challenges in the industry.
