I’m interested in buying a diamond online that is not yet set in a piece of jewellery, but I don’t know if this is the best option for me?

Buying diamonds should be fun and exciting, however, all too often the process becomes a stressful experience --- don't let it. Therefore, if a few or more of the points below describe you, then there is an excellent chance that Australian Diamond Network can assist with finding your ideal diamond.

You know that quality and service do not necessarily have to equal expensive.

  • Australian Diamond Network is the destination for those of you seeking the best diamond for the best value. 

You often shop online and are familiar with the process. This familiarity brings with it a very important factor...trust.

  • At Australian Diamond Network we understand that gaining trust is difficult; but we believe that if we are to continue being a successful business, then we have to work hard to earn your trust. We will do so by being transparent and honest in all of our dealings and will be available to assist you in any way you may require.  

You have researched diamonds and have a good idea what your budget is and what your requirements are for Colour, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight. You want to purchase from a company that can offer experienced advice and provide assurance that you are getting the best value for your money.

  • Australian Diamond Network can answer all of your questions to assist in making the right choice for your requirements and circumstances. Our customers come to depend on our expertise, strict adherence to accurate diamond grading by independent third party laboratories, and our commitment to providing reliable service.

You don't want to be limited in the selection of your diamond.

  • Australian Diamond Network allows you the option of your diamond being sourced from a network of national and international suppliers.

You are looking for a unique combination of selection, convenience and price found online, balanced with the exceptional knowledge and service you would expect in a traditional retailer.

  • At Australian Diamond Network, we pride ourselves on our ability to ensure that every purchase made from us is done only after the customer is 100% satisfied with the information they have been provided to make a completely informed decision.

You are unsure if your loved one will share your taste in jewellery.

  • Choosing jewellery is a very personal choice. Be confident buy giving a loose diamond. This allows the recipient the opportunity to work with the jeweller of their choice to create the perfect piece.

 You want to be confident that you are getting exactly what you've ordered.

  • Buying a loose diamond from Australian Diamond Network allows you to compare the stone directly with the independent certificate; something that is impossible to accurately do with diamonds already set in jewellery. You can also be confident that at Australian Diamond Network we are not going to risk our reputation, let alone our entire livelihood by selling questionable goods.

You don't want to be 'sold' to or get the 'hard sell' by sales people that may or may not have your best interests in mind when you want into their retail establishment.

  • While of course we would like to get your business, and will exhaust all avenues to do so, we won't try to convince you that buying from us is the only way to go. Some customers have requests that for whatever reason can't be met...while not very common, it happens in every business. That doesn't mean we can't be of assistance. A bit of free advice can go a long way. It is easy for a company to say “we are not going to help you unless you do something for us”. At Australian Diamond Network, we have found that to the degree that we can satisfy other people’s needs, our needs will be satisfied. We are firm believers in reciprocation; if everyone takes the view that they can help others (within their own level of expertise) then there will be either direct or indirect reciprocation as a result.

What does the ‘Network’ in Australian Diamond Network represent?

Prior to starting Australian Diamond Network, Wade Burbidge spent many years of trading at the wholesale end of the diamond industry. He soon came to realise that no one individual can create an extraordinary piece of jewellery.

The journey to producing world class diamonds and jewellery is a process involving the collaboration…or a ‘network‘… of creatives - from the diamond cutters bringing out the stones inner beauty – to the jewellery designers striving to create something unique – to the jewellers that shape the material, bringing the designs to life - and to our customers, who are often the inspiration of our designs.

By aligning ourselves with the top organisations from around the world, Australian Diamond Network has unprecedented access to all that the global diamond industry has to offer.
