Facets maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards conflict diamonds. Our diamonds are purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with United Nations resolutions. The World Federation of Diamond Bourses Code of Practice (WFCOP) and the World Diamond Council (WDC) requires us to strictly follow these regulations.
While lab grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical to naturally mined diamonds, they lack the emotional and store of value properties of natural diamonds. LGDs as they are popularly known are a different product to natural diamonds and cheaper by far. They are well suited for entry level and fashion jewellery as their value continues to diminish over time.
They are in our opinion not ideal for proposal or engagement rings, which serve as precious symbols of your long-term commitment and love.
There are many myths about lab grown diamonds that have been pervasive, and sustainability is just one of them. These myths are of recent origin and consumer research clearly shows an incomplete understanding of the facts pertaining to LGDs.
The NDC has released a well-researched analysis based on reliable third-party data to address these myths in one document and it can be accessed here: Natural Diamond Council Busts Industry Myths with Diamond Facts

Typically the process from design concept to finished piece takes between 4-6 weeks and is largely dependent on the complexity of the design and time required to source the diamonds/gemstones to be used.
Design finalisation is dependent on the design iterations made which can lengthen the process and delay completion.
Our designers create new designs every season which are made into finished pieces. To view these pieces and to appreciate the high level of craftsmanship, please visit our office by prior appointment.
Absolutely. One of our main strength is our business connections over five continents built over four decades. We are specialists in sourcing unique shapes and rare fancy coloured diamonds either for that special occasion or as an investment.
We also have access to a wide network of coloured gem dealers and are able to source for precious gemstones for your bespoke jewellery designs.
Yes we are able to restore, repair and remake most types of gem set precious metal jewellery (platinum, palladium, gold and silver) and in some cases are able to offer re-polishing of diamonds/precious stones that have abraded/worn out surfaces or are chipped at the edges. Redesigning to refresh your heirlooms while maintaining their sentimental charm is a key service we provide and we are good at it. Our multiple customer reviews are proof of our ability.
Sure. Please give us a prior call and we'll be happy to receive you. Cleaning is free of charge for customers and ring re-sizing starts at S$80 nett. Your first resizing is free within the first 12 months from delivery.
We also undertake polishing and plating and repairs (if required) of your jewellery pieces and this is charged separately depending on the condition of your jewellery and the extent of the repairs required.
Fine jewellery is not impervious to normal wear, impact of daily activities or physical trauma. This is particularly true for rings since hands are regularly subjected to considerable abuse. Jewellery is both precious and long lasting but like all objects precious and dear to us, needs to be looked after and maintained just as carefully.
Please refer to our article on caring for your jewellery as your reference for jewellery care & maintenance.
