Hermitage or Aurias

[anya_xo]

Hermitage and Aurias are both conflict free brands that I am looking into purchasing.

I was wondering whether anyone has an opinion on whether one brand is better quality than the other (in terms of cut and overall appearance). Has anyone purchased either brands and had either negative or positive experiences that they would like to share?

Also, would all diamonds under these brand names have an ideal cut or only some?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

what do they show you to guarantee that their diamonds are conflict free??

Hi, they both quote this on their website. Presumably when you purchase the stones they would also provide some sort of certificate but I am not sure.

Please read my opinion of the damage you are helping to inflict on people in Africa.

Thanks for the links. I will have a read through those.

Aside from the question about whether the diamonds are "conflict" free or not, does anyone have any input into the actual quality of the stones and a comparison of the two brands?

Aurias would rate as better than average to excellent / ideal.
