Our DeBruges™ Necklace features 10 carats of genuine raw diamonds for under $300!

Our man in Antwerp told me a story about a young man who worked for a Belgian diamond cutter back in the Middle Ages. Like every red-blooded male in the city of Bruges, he had a thing for the banker's daughter, who was thought to be the most beautiful woman in Belgium. Every night the apprentice would sweep up the workshop scraps. Every once in a while, the twinkle from a raw diamond would catch his eye. He’d collect the pieces over the next 30 years.

When the time was right, he fashioned his raw diamonds into a magnificent necklace and placed it into a velvet-lined box. He presented it to the banker’s daughter and professed his lifelong love. She was left breathless by the exquisite necklace and the man’s passionate persistence. She fell for him instantly. His work of a lifetime rewarded.

Was it a true story? We hope so. Especially because we used it as the inspiration for our elegant DeBruges necklace which features over 10 carats of genuine natural raw diamonds, highlighted with faceted golden topaz. The 17" strand connects to a chain of twisted, gold-filled links and fastens with a decorative toggle clasp.

How can we possibly offer 10 carats of natural raw diamonds for under $300? It’s because we buy more than 10 carats at a time. We buy thousands of carats of precious stones in the course of a year at remarkable savings. But more importantly, by making such a luxurious diamond necklace so affordable, we can make sure that everyone’s real life love story gets a happy ending.
