What’s all the fuss about being a certificated diamond specialist anyway? After all, is a diamond just nothing more than a shiny stone? For all the certificates in the world, one could not change the composition of a diamond. So what is the deal with getting certified?

Well that question can be answered in two parts. The first part addressing certification directly. Would you allow yourself or any member of your family to visit a doctor who did not have his doctor’s degree? Why not? We would not want to let an amateur touch us because of the risk of causing a bigger problem.

This is precisely the same principle with a certified diamond specialist. The fact that we’re certified means that we have reached the highest level of understanding in our practise of acquiring and selling diamonds. Marlow certificated diamonds are of the highest quality because we know what to look for.

What’s the difference?

The difference is quite straightforward. Should you purchase diamonds from an uncertified specialist you risk buying low quality, and secondly, you could end up paying inflated prices for a diamond that is not even pure.

Marlow certificated diamonds are affordable and of the highest quality because we are regulated by being certificated. You will also score big time on your purchase price because there is a standard buying price for specific carats of diamonds.

So you see, it is in your best interest to buy from a certificated jeweller. Marlow is a certificated diamond specialist.

Most of us have seen the movie Blood Diamonds with Leonardo DiCaprio in it. It tells of the diamond mining in Sierra Leone and the exploitation of people to mine the diamonds. It shows that the diamonds are sold to fuel warfare.

Marlows is one of the leading certified diamond specialists around today. We take great care in ensuring that we maintain the highest standard when differentiating between a blood diamond and a certified diamond.

Our customers can rest assured in the knowledge that when they purchase any diamond products from us that it is a certified diamond that has been acquired without the abuse of or loss of any human life anywhere on the planet.

Why bother with a certified diamond?

That question has been posed by many and the simple answer is this: as a third-generation family business, we have not acquired nor do we intend in the future to acquire diamonds by means of transgressing the basic human rights acts of any individuals.

For any customer who buys a diamond that is not a certified diamond the message that you send to the illegal diamond miners is that their methods of acquiring diamonds through murder and exploitation are acceptable.

Purchasing from Marlows will give you the peace of mind to know that as a certified diamond specialist, there was no blood shed for your specific investment. Always consider the plight of these people in underdeveloped countries and purchase certified diamonds from a certified supplier specialist like Marlows.
