What are Bellataire® diamonds?

Bellataire® diamonds are ultra-pure, natural mined diamonds that have been restored to their intrinsic color by a proprietary process developed by Lazare Kaplan and General Electric Company (GE). Bellataire-brand diamonds are exceptional quality, mostly “D” through “G in color, seldom lower in clarity than VS1, and are cut to the most demanding standards in the diamond industry.

Bellataire® diamonds are completely natural diamonds. Nothing is added to the natural diamond crystal nor anything removed from it in the process of transforming a rough diamond to a polished gem. Bellataire® diamonds are Natural Mined Diamonds, expertly processed by Bellataire® to bring maximum beauty and value to these Natural Gems.”

Colorless Bellataire® diamonds are extremely rare Type IIa diamonds that were originally crystallized without color and were destined to become extraordinary gems. During their journey to the surface of the Earth through volcanic pipes, these crystals were subjected to intense heat, tremendous pressure, and explosive turbulence. These extreme conditions caused molecular misalignment in these crystals, resulting in a brownish tint and internal stress. The Bellataire process simply provides comparable conditions of heat and pressure, allowing these crystals to spontaneously relieve themselves of their molecular stress and return to their proper alignment and their original colorless state. It is this process of restoration that leads to the description of Bellataire® diamonds as “The Diamond Nature Intended”.

Our diamonds are purer and more rare than 99% of all diamonds. They are naturally mined and are collecton quality. Simply restored to their intrinsic color by our propietary process. They are available in many shapes, sizes, and colors.
