What Are Diamonds and Gemstones With Known Origin?
All natural diamonds and gemstones have an origin. To have a known origin is to have documentation — or provenance — that details the diamond or gemstone’s journey from earth to market. This is the highest level of confidence a jeweler can provide their customer when selling natural — or mined — diamonds and gemstones.
