Diamonds De Canada_Yellowknife_2025_Diamonds Tour_3

Take part in the wondrous journey of a LANDS diamond as our master artisans demonstrate the cutting-edge technology and skills used to transform the world’s most precious gems into lifelong keepsakes for our customers.

You’ll witness how a raw diamond is mapped by our first-of-their-kind 3D scanners, ensuring cut optimization to produce maximum clarity and sparkle. Then it’s onto the cutting floor where you’ll see our powerful Da Vinci laser transform the gem into its pre-planned shape, perfectly faceted with effortless precision, and finally, you’ll join one of our master polishers where they’ll instruct you on how to refine the diamond’s new surfaces to a brilliant finish, allowing you to experience firsthand and appreciate the precision, artistry and love that is a part of every LANDS diamond’s story.

Our retail showroom has Polar Bear Diamonds, diamonds that have been mined, cut and polished in the NWT.  Lands Collection is also available in our showroom.

Lands collection features diamond jewelry from Ekati, Gahcho Kué and Diavik starting at $399 CAD.

The full tour takes 30 minutes and then you can browse in the showroom for the perfect diamond to remember your time in the spectacular north.

Diamonds de Canada

Lands Collection logo_Yellowknife_2024_2

Canada has a deep love for our natural resources with diamonds being the highest expression of love.  Thanks to Canada’s world class standard for sustainable mining, we are custodians of our precious lands and take great pride and care releasing these rare gems.  From the moment our land is surveyed to the final reclamation (the process of restoring the land to its former condition), respect is given to the land that provides life to the diverse ecosystem of the great white north.

With such deep love for our natural resources, even greater care is given to each diamond, releasing the ideal blend of intense fire and brilliance.  Some of our talented polishers have come to the north from around the world with a desire to polish the diamonds from Canada, renown in the polishing communities as optically superior rough crystals.

Based in the capital of the Northwest Territories of Canada, Diamonds de Canada brings experience from both aboriginal and international talent with an expertise to polish beautiful diamonds.  Let us show you the difference.
