We hand-select diamonds with intention — because every stone tells a story.
At Icecool diamonds, hand-selecting diamonds isn’t just a process. It’s a philosophy. Each stone that passes through our Hatton Garden workshop has been chosen with intention — for its beauty, brilliance, and character.
Here’s how we ensure every Icecool piece starts with a diamond worthy of its setting.
1. Only the Most Exceptional Make the Cut
At Icecool diamonds, we don’t deal in volume — we source with precision and purpose.
Each diamond begins with a search across the market — not just in London but globally — through a trusted network of suppliers who understand the exacting standards we uphold. We carefully narrow down the options from this wide-ranging selection, assessing brilliance, cut, proportions, and overall character.
Only the most exceptional stones pass this process, ready to be part of our curated collections or set into bespoke pieces crafted for individual clients.

2. Ethically Sourced, Carefully Chosen
We work only with long-standing suppliers who share our values — prioritising responsible practices and adherence to the Kimberley Process.
Ethics matter just as much as excellence. That’s why we take care to source from partners we trust, ensuring that we select every diamond we offer with integrity, fairness, and accountability in mind.
3. Why We Hand-Select Diamonds — Not Just Buy Them
Every client is different, and so is every diamond we select. Whether you’re creating a bespoke engagement ring or remodelling an heirloom, we’ll carefully choose a diamond that complements your vision.
Some clients want maximum sparkle. Others seek understated elegance. We listen carefully before presenting only the stones that truly align with your preferences and budget.
4. Hand Selecting Diamonds with the Eye, Not Just the Certificate
While we adhere to diamond grading standards such as those from the GIA, we ultimately trust our eyes — and our experience — the most.
Some diamonds with lower colour grades may face up beautifully. Others may technically pass but lack character or brilliance. We don’t accept diamonds just because they meet grading criteria; we choose them because they speak to us and align with what our clients are truly looking for.
Whether it’s exceptional sparkle, vintage charm, or something entirely personal, we select the stone that feels right — not just the one that looks best on paper.
5. A Personal Experience: Viewing the Diamonds We Select
We invite clients to view a curated selection of diamonds in person. This personalised service is part of what makes Icecool diamonds special — it helps you feel confident in your choice before we even begin the design.
We’ll explain each stone’s traits clearly and simply, helping you compare them side by side — without pressure or overwhelming technical language.
