YOU BUY DIRECT FROM THE SOURCE!!!!

We use our World Wide Network of over 2000 Wholesale Loose Diamond Cutters, Brokers and Manufacturers to find you the best quality loose diamond or diamond jewelry piece at the Absolute best price. We quote the Absolute best quality certified diamonds currently available on the World Wholesale Certified Loose Diamonds Market. We specialize in access to the best selection of Ideal Cut, AGS and GIA certified loose diamonds known as "Hearts and Arrows" or "Hearts on Fire" diamonds. These diamonds are exceptional for diamond solitaire rings, diamond pendants, or three stone diamond anniversary rings. We can also offer great wholesale diamond pricing on Diamond Tennis Bracelets and Diamond Stud Earrings.

All diamonds quoted will be fully certified; either through the World's most highly respected and recognized Independent Grading Labs such as GIA, AGS, AGA and HRD or through our own Suncoast Gemological Laboratory run by Master Gemologist Appraiser Thomas Seguin. Don't be confused, a certified diamond grading certificate issued by a Professional Grading Lab should not be confused or compared with a local merchant appraisal.

You choose from hundreds of Fine Cut Certified Loose Diamonds at Exchange Prices. Whenever possible, we quote only those loose diamonds that fall within GIA's standards for "International Fine Trade Cut", usually only the top 10% of all certified loose diamonds on the market! Our Absolute Diamonds Education Center lists the "Preferred" ranges that determine "International Fine Trade Cut" as established by GIA.

Your selection is delivered in five days or less via fully insured registered mail.

The Absolute Diamonds Exchange (ADE) offers a 7 day unconditional money back guarantee. If you are dissatisfied with your selection for any reason or no reason at all, simply return it to Suncoast Gemological Laboratory for a full refund of the total purchase price.
