The expertise of the diamond dealer

Out of respect for the customer and the diamond, we only offer diamonds under our quality control, which we have carefully selected and from our own production. For requests outside of our production, the search is done in the field of known and nearby diamond dealers.
i-diamants is a space 100% dedicated to diamonds and the jewelry that magnifies them.

Concerned with continuing a tradition of quality right down to the frames that dress our diamonds, we have chosen to offer a service of handmade custom jewelry by French craftsmen selected for their quality know-how.

The setting is not a simple accessory, the purity of the lines and the finishing touches must equal that of the diamond. A good work of jewelry adapts to perfection the proportions of the jewel to those of the chosen diamond and the finger size. We offer you the best of the great classics of French jewelry.
