Canadian diamonds are natural diamonds extracted from legitimate source mines : either one of the Territories or one of the provinces of Canada. Canada has played a leading role in the diamond industry in order to ensure that its diamonds are extracted in strict compliance with ethical principles and according to fair work practices.
In addition, they are undoubtedly in accordance with the Kimberley process, an international gross diamond certification system set up to avoid the purchase of diamonds offered by rebel movements in order to finance their military activities.
All our engagement rings are entirely made in Quebec in our Montreal workshop.
GIA and CanadaMark certified natural diamonds and IGI certified Lab Grown diamonds are used at St-Onge Jeweller. The independent GIA and IGI reports provide a complete description of the diamond while the CanadaMark card confirms its origin. A certificate of evaluation for insurance purposes from our laboratory is also offered with any purchase at St-Onge.
The diamond world is both complex and fascinating. The many criteria that comprise it are precisely what makes it sometimes challenging to find your way around. In order to better understand this wonderful world, we have created a simple guide to the four main criteria: carat, size, colour and clarity.
