VRAI MEANS TRUE

WHY VRAI CREATED DIAMONDS ARE UNMATCHED

IMPECCABLE ORIGIN

Nested among the apple orchards of America's beautiful Pacific West, Diamond Foundry is converting harmful greenhouse gas into rough diamond using zero-emission energy from the Columbia river.

American ingenuity & craftmanship at work.

GROWN IN AMERICA

Real zero carbon footprint. (No carbon offset required.)

Very little energy used per carat — ten times less than what mining requires.

What this is not: Diamond rough mined in Africa or Russia, enriching African and Russian governments. Natural diamond of “self certified” origin (per mandated by G7 bureaucracy). Huge carbon emissions – De Beers alone emits 1.9 million tons of CO2 each year for diamond mining, more than entire countries.

MASTERFULLY CUT

We always cut to perfection, for maximal brilliance.

Our master cutters hail from Belgium with four generations of diamond cutting expertise & history.

Our team members even included the cutter who co-invented the Princess Cut.

WE ARE CREATORS

We tell you the name of each cutter & polisher involved in your diamond.

We pay top wages for quality craftsmanship.

Many team members have been with us for a decade and longer.

IN AN INDUSTRY-FIRST, WE CUT TO ORDER

We cut to order & polish our rough into any diamond shape & size for you.

What this is not: Diamonds polished in mass factories with no-name laborers. Diamond polished for compromising yield over brilliance

EACH UNIQUE

The nature of diamond formation

The creators at Diamond Foundry are trying hard. But crystals never grow perfect. There are always inclusions and varied growth pattern.

What this is not: Cookie-cutter "synthetics"

GIA DIAMOND GRADES - CERTIFIED

Diamond industry labs such as GIA and IGI grade by eye sight with unreliable consistency. Not only is this greatly subjective, they explicitly refuse to guarantee their grades.

We use science-based metrology and one billion data points for each carat grown to issue 4C diamond grades on the GIA diamond scale. And we actually offer complete warranties and guarantees.

100% GUARANTEED DIAMOND VALUE

We 100% guarantee the value of your VRAI created diamond – if you need or want, receive a credit in the full amount of the purchase price paid.
