As pioneers of the industry and sensitive to its surroundings, the Facet group is currently a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), an international non-profit organization that promotes ethical, social and environmental practices in the diamond, gold and platinum metal industry through the entire supply chain.

Facet Barcelona guarantees that all its diamonds have been verified through exhaustive quality controls with the latest technology in the market.

 

We are committed to the identification of synthetic diamonds, thanks to specialized instruments that allow us to obtain molecular information about the diamond and differentiate between natural and synthetic diamonds.

This process allows us to certify that only natural diamonds were used in all the jewellery in our collections, as specified in our natural diamond guarantee stamp.

In addition, Facet is the first Spanish jewellery company to be certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) and to adhere to the TRACEMARK traceability protocol, which ensures the complete traceability of a piece of jewellery throughout the entire supply chain, from the mining company to the final consumer.

Trust, innovation and professionalism are the main values on which we base our development and growth. Being aware of human rights, we carefully and respectfully adhere to the standards communicated by the United Nations Global Compact.  www.unglobalcompact.org.

Facet Barcelona is, in addition, in agreement with the guarantee system (Sdg) that ensures that our diamonds have been obtained from trusted sources. We guarantee that these diamonds are conflict free, protected by the reciprocal guarantee system established by the Kimberley process. The Kimberley process regulates safe business practice in the diamond world.

CUT

The beauty of a diamond depends on how the light reflects off of it. The most common is the ´brilliant-cut´ which has 58 facets, but there are many more.

CARAT WEIGHT

The weight of a diamond is measured in carats. Although all diamonds are rare, the bigger the diamond, the more precious and valuable it will be.
