The LeGassick Diamond

What is the difference between a LeGassick diamond and other diamonds?

For many years, one of the secrets of the LeGassick family is how to always find the brightest and whitest diamonds... and that secret is to always have the diamond in front of us, hand selecting a stone and always looking at the diamond first. LeGassick want the best diamonds! LeGassick look for white diamonds, and diamonds with no visible inclusions/marks to the naked eye. We also look for diamonds cut to the best proportions. LeGassick will judge a diamond by its brilliance, its fire and performance, and to do this we look at every individual stone to ensure any diamond that qualifies to become a LeGassick diamond has fire, brilliant and scintillation. We will look at any accompanying paperwork and certificates, but we don't rely on this information in making a decision for a diamond is to become a LeGassick diamond.

I have found cheaper diamond jeweller elsewhere? Why?

There are many diamond brands and generic diamonds that are offered at various price points. Therefore, it is even more important that you understand the true quality and value of your diamond and how that affects the price.

Ethical guidelines of evaluation require that each individual diamond be graded the same way all over the world when it comes to colour, clarity and carat weight. These are all rarity factors that affect the price of any diamond; however, the last piece of the puzzle, cut, affects the final value by as much as 50%.

Many diamonds are cut poorly to save on production costs or time – resulting in diamonds that can look smaller than they actually are and sparkle less. LeGassick wants to ensure that every LeGassick diamond is white, visually clean and cut to some of the best proportions from around the world. We also carry Hearts On Fire, the world's most perfectly cut diamond, to ensure that we can offer our clients a perfectly cut diamond. Our diamonds are the best of the best, all to ensure, a LeGassick diamond is a whiter, brighter, more beautiful diamond.

What size diamond (how big) can I get in my LeGassick diamond ring?

All LeGassick diamond and engagement rings are available in a wide variety of diamond sizes, many starting from 0.30ct and ranging as high as 2.00ct and over. Online at legassick.diamonds, most carat weights displayed stop around 1.00ct; however, if you are interested in a larger size center diamond, please contact us so we can help you find your perfect diamond.

Why is my diamond bigger than what I purchased?

All LeGassick diamonds are individually cut and sourced so naturally no two diamonds will be the same. To guide you in finding your perfect diamond, we have listed an entry diamond weight. The exact diamond you may receive may weigh a little more than what has been described, e.g., you may receive a 0.52ct instead of 0.50ct. This will not affect or change the price you pay.

Are your diamonds ethically sourced?

LeGassick only works with vendors and purchases diamonds from countries that adhere to the Kimberley Process. Introduced by the United Nations in 2003, the Kimberley Process is an international, cooperative diamond monitoring system designed to eliminate the flow of conflict diamonds, or “blood diamonds,” and thus prevent diamond sales from financing violent movements that occurred in the 1990s. The 75 member countries that participate in the Kimberley Process agree to trade strictly within the organisation and require that all rough diamond imports be accompanied by documentation issued by the originating foreign participant. Should you have any further questions about diamond sourcing, please send us your enquiry.

At LeGassick, we look to select diamonds independently graded by the worlds best international grading companies to give you peace of mind and assurance you are getting ethically sourced diamonds of the best quality.

Book a jewellery clean.

Why does my white gold jewellery have a yellow tinge after a few years of wear?

White gold is essentially an alloy of pure gold, so naturally this can have a yellow tinge. All white gold jewellery is rhodium plated to give a beautiful, ultra white colour. As rhodium plating is a coating that is plated on white gold, it can wear off over time and will need to be re-applied to maintain white gold's beautiful ultra white, reflective colour. Any white gold jewellery piece purchased from LeGassick comes with complimentary rhodium plating for the life of the piece.

Do you provide insurance appraisals?

Yes! Every LeGassick piece purchased over the value over $2,000 will be accompanied with a full jewellery appraisal certificate. This will be emailed to the client via the nominated email address at the time of shipping. Jewellery appraisals for any pieces under $2,000 can be done by special request.

Should I insure my LeGassick jewellery?

Insuring your LeGassick diamond jewellery is a great idea! If your piece is ever lost, stolen or damaged, knowing your piece is insured gives you piece of mind that you are protected.

Can LeGassick insure my jewellery piece?
