Your Diamond Expert David Law
For over 40 years, I have sourced and selected diamonds for my clients with a keen eye for brilliance and beauty.
When you work with me, there’s no overwhelming list or pressure to choose from stock. Instead, I handpick a selection of diamonds that match your vision, ensuring you experience the WOW factor when you see them in person.
Natural vs. Lab-Grown Diamonds – Which is Right for You?
Both natural and lab-grown diamonds offer stunning beauty—the right choice depends on what matters most to you.
✔ Natural Diamonds – Formed over billions of years beneath the earth, each carries a unique history and rarity.
✔ Lab-Grown Diamonds – Created using the HPHT (High-Pressure High-Temperature) method, ensuring exceptional quality, brilliance, and durability
Making an Informed Diamond Choice with Confidence
💎 My Approach: I provide impartial, expert advice on both options, helping you choose a diamond that aligns with your style, values, and budget.
All my lab-grown diamonds come with both a GIA certificate and an American Gem Society (AGS) report, offering additional assurance of their quality and grading integrity.
The Diamond 4 C's - Explained
Diamond 4C's Colour
Diamond colour impacts both its beauty and value. In most cases, the less colour, the rarer and more valuable the diamond—but there are exceptions, like fancy-coloured diamonds (pink, yellow, blue) that have their unique appeal.
The GIA colour scale grades diamonds from D (completely colourless) to Z (light yellow or brown). Each grade is assessed under controlled lighting to ensure accuracy.
💎 My Approach: I help you understand how colour affects a diamond’s appearance and price, so you can balance beauty and budget.
Diamond 4C's Clarity

Diamond 4C's Cut
Cut is the most important of the 4Cs—it determines a diamond’s brilliance, fire, and sparkle. A well-cut diamond acts like a mirror, bouncing light through its facets and returning it to the eye.
Diamond cuts range from Excellent to Poor, with shapes including:
💎 Round Brilliant, Princess, Oval, Marquise, Pear, and Emerald.
💎 My Approach: I help you choose a cut that maximises brilliance, ensuring your diamond has the sparkle it deserves.
Diamond 4C's Carat
Carat weight refers to the physical weight of a diamond, not its size. 1 carat = 0.2 grams, but the appearance can vary based on the cut and proportions.
💎 A larger diamond isn’t always the better choice—I help you explore options where a slightly smaller carat weight with a superior cut may offer more brilliance and value.
What Makes a Lab-Grown Diamond Shine?
HPHT vs. CVD – The Diamond Growth Process Matters
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, but their quality varies. While mass-produced CVD diamonds are often cheaper, HPHT diamonds offer superior brilliance and consistency.
That’s why David exclusively endorses HPHT diamonds in his lab-grown diamond ring creations.
✔ HPHT (High Pressure, High Temperature)
Produces natural-looking diamonds with exceptional colour, clarity, and brilliance, requiring no post-growth enhancements
✖ CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition)
A mass-produced process often requires artificial treatments to improve colour and clarity.
I only offer hand-selected HPHT lab diamonds for flawless brilliance—ensuring exceptional quality and beauty in every engagement ring I create.
Why You Should Consider a Lab-Grown Diamond
Ethically Grown – Created responsibly with no environmental impact from mining.
Lab-grown diamonds eliminate the need for mining, reducing the ecological footprint while maintaining the brilliance and durability of a natural diamond.
Identical quality – Brilliance, durability, and beauty to natural diamonds
With the same chemical, optical, and physical properties as mined diamonds, lab-grown diamonds offer exceptional clarity and radiance.
Greater flexibility – Choose a larger, higher colour and clarity diamond
Lab diamonds allow you to opt for a stone with higher specifications while staying within budget, giving you more freedom to create your perfect ring.
Exceptional value – Enjoy the prestige of a diamond at a more accessible price.
Lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology, offering significant cost savings without sacrificing beauty or craftsmanship.
