Voltaire Diamonds

Voltaire Diamonds recognizes that getting engaged, or buying any jewellery for that matter, is a personal and sentimental experience. Rather than you picking out a ring with lots of other people around, a member of the Voltaire Team will meet you at a location of your choice to discuss your preferences. Also, by not having a shop presence, they are able to keep their costs down.

Every diamond they will show you has been ethically sourced, GIA or HRD certified and sourced directly from reputable, well-established European Diamond Centers.

This is much more than choosing your favourite from a brochure! The Voltaire craftspeople create an extensive engagement rings and diamond jewellery to suit all requirements and budgets. We also create unique bespoke designs. If you have a design in mind then we will work closely with you and liaise with our craftsmen to produce the ring you want.
