The Diamond Expert is a private jeweller specialising in exquisite, handmade fine jewellery. As a female-founded, family-run Irish business, clients sit at the heart of everything we do. Your experience is paramount to us and we are known for our exceptional client care.

Each bespoke piece we create is guided by expert advice and a highly personalised experience.

We have a repultation for unique designs hand crafted with exceptional skill and attention to detail. Think luxury jewellery defined by craftsmanship, care and expertise.

We are all about choice, and therefore offer both natural and lab grown diamonds. And because we don't carry stock, there's never any sales pressure.

From small pavé set diamonds to larger certificated diamonds, we can create your perfect piece of jewellery to suit your exact specifications. Our natural diamonds are GIA certificated and we use either IGI or GIA certificated lab grown diamonds.

We choose all our diamonds by hand, and use only excellent cut round brilliant cut diamonds. All our natural diamonds are ethically sourced.

Yes, all our diamonds are certificated by the best internationally recognised gemological institutions, the GIA and the IGI. Your hard copy certificate will accompany your purchase.

For pavé diamond set pieces, these diamonds are certified and you will receive an electronic Certificate of Authenticity detailing their guaranteed quality, which is F-G colour and VS-SI clarity.

All of our natural diamonds and gemstones are ethically sourced from trusted partners around the world. Our diamonds are hand-cut by master craftsmen in Surat, India (95% of the world's diamonds are cut here). They are responsibly sourced from suppliers who adhere to the Kimberley Process (an international certification scheme that prevents conflict diamonds from entering the legitimate diamond trade).

Our coloured gemstones are selected from reputable traders in Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Mozambique, known for their exceptional quality and ethical standards. Each stone is hand chosen by us for its brilliance, colour, and integrity before being set into our designs.

We hand craft our fine jewellery in 18ct white, yellow, and rose gold, as well as 950 platinum. We can also create your jewellery in 14ct or 9ct gold upon request.

Yes! We offer bespoke customisation for all of our jewellery. Whether you’d like to change the diamond size, add gemstones, choose a different metal, add engraving or create a completely unique design, we can fully personalise your piece. Please contact us to begin the process.

Yes - this is of paramount importance to us.  We use the finest and strongest metals and meticulously handcraft every piece of jewellery with care so that your piece will stand the test of time.

Our team of master craftsmen has decades of experience creating fine jewellery to the very highest standards. Because of this, we offer a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee on all our pieces. 

Our fine jewellery is handcrafted using 18ct gold (yellow, white, or rose) and platinum. We can create pieces in 14ct and 9ct on request. Each piece is made to order and can be tailored to your preferred metal upon request. Read more about why we use only the finest metals here.

We create finished pieces of jewellery, we don’t sell individual loose diamonds or gemstones.

We are happy to look at individual natural diamonds (with certificates only) to see if they're suitable for a trade in against a new piece of jewellery. We do not buy lab grown diamonds. Please get in touch with us to discuss further.
