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.
