Reports and Traceability.
Eqiux™ diamonds. Trusted quality, verified by leading laboratories.
Eqiux™ prioritizes quality, authenticity, and traceability in every diamond. At Eqiux™, we understand that every diamond purchase is an investment in quality, beauty, and value. That’s why our diamonds come with trusted certifications from the world’s leading gemological institutions. When you choose Eqiux™ diamonds, you’re assured of expert, independent verification of every stone’s authenticity and value.
Certified by the best: Eqiux™ diamonds commitment to transparency.
Navigating the diamond market can be complex, with challenges in distinguishing between natural, synthetic, and simulant stones. That’s why each Eqiux™ diamond undergoes thorough evaluation by premier labs, including the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), American Gem Society (AGS), and International Gemological Institute (IGI), The Assay Office. Each certification provides a comprehensive report on the diamond’s 4Cs—color, clarity, cut, and carat weight—and verifies its origin, helping you make a confident, informed purchase.
The 4Cs: A trusted standard in diamond grading.
Our partner laboratories follow the highest standards in the industry, evaluating each diamond across the 4Cs with meticulous precision:
Color: Graded from colorless to yellow, where each subtle difference in hue is carefully assessed under controlled conditions.
Clarity: Eqiux™ diamonds are evaluated for natural inclusions and surface blemishes, with clarity ratings ranging from Flawless to Included.
Cut: From polish to symmetry, cut grades are assigned based on how well the diamond has been shaped to maximize sparkle and brilliance.
Carat Weight: Carat weight is an essential aspect of a diamond’s allure and value, with our reports guaranteeing accuracy to international standards.
Unmatched expertise for your peace of mind.
Each Eqiux™ diamond report not only provides valuable information but also offers unmatched peace of mind knowing the diamond has been professionally tested for quality and authenticity. The report numbers on the certificates help you easily and quickly verify online that your diamond is genuine, ethically sourced, and accurately graded by highly regarded institutions. No need to be concerned or worried about being tricked into buying a low quality, or even worse a simulant diamond. Whether for personal enjoyment, investment, or legacy, an Eqiux™ diamond represents quality and integrity.

Eqiux™ diamonds origin: Understanding the journey.
While lab-grown diamonds like Eqiux™ are not mined from the earth, their creation still involves a process that requires careful attention to sustainability, ethics, and responsibility.
Transparency is important when buying any diamond and it is an ethical responsibility to be aware of where your diamond originates.
Buying a diamond which is an Eqiux™ branded diamond provides buyers with a clear insight into where and how their diamond was created as we provide full details of the Eqiux™ diamond creation standards and process on our website.
When a brand new born/created lab-grown diamond is delivered to us in the United Kingdom, we subject it to further (after shipping) authentication testing.
Then we add our Eqiux™ tamper-proof security label to the sealed diamond package card.
This offers reassurance that the diamond was produced using ethical practices and environmentally conscious methods giving buyers of Eqiux™ diamonds confidence in the integrity of their purchase.
Why Diamond Origin Matters.
In today’s market, consumers are increasingly mindful of the ethical and environmental impact of their purchases.
Eqiux™ diamonds offer a responsible alternative to mined diamonds, providing the same beauty and brilliance without contributing to the environmental and social challenges associated with traditional mining.
By choosing Eqiux™, you support ethical production methods that prioritize sustainability, labor rights, and ecosystem preservation.
Eqiux™ diamonds: Created with integrity… Real, Sustainable, and Ethical.
Eqiux™ diamonds are real diamonds—just like those found in nature—but they are NOT mined/extracted from the earth. Instead Eqiux™ diamonds are produced in a way that minimizes environmental harm, maximizes sustainability, and supports responsible innovation.
In contrast, the mining of diamonds can be the cause of severe human rights abuses and environmental damage. Refer to “The Hidden Costs of Diamond Mining”.
Eqiux™ diamonds are created using energy-efficient technologies and sustainable practices, ensuring that they are as ethically sourced as they are beautiful.
Eqiux™ diamonds (grown using advanced CVD and HPHT technology) are real diamonds formed with the same pure carbon as natural mined diamonds, giving them the same chemical composition, brilliance, and durability.
As the demand for transparency continues to grow, Eqiux™ diamonds stand as a modern choice for the conscious consumer.
When you wear an Eqiux™ diamond it is not only stunning but also ethically produced, so you can feel good about your purchase, knowing that it has been created with care for the planet and its people.
The Hidden Costs of Diamond Mining.
Human Rights Abuses
Blood diamonds, mined in war zones, fund armed conflicts while perpetuating forced labor, child exploitation, and violence. Despite efforts like the Kimberley Process to certify conflict-free diamonds, enforcement issues allow unethical practices to continue.
Environmental Damage
Mining methods—open-pit, alluvial, underground, and marine—inflict widespread environmental harm:
- Deforestation and Habitat Loss: Forests are destroyed, displacing wildlife and worsening climate change.
- Soil Degradation: Land is left infertile and permanently scarred.
- Water Pollution: Toxic chemicals and sediment runoff contaminate water, harming ecosystems.
- Carbon Footprint: Mining relies on fossil fuels, producing substantial greenhouse gas emissions.
- Waste Generation: Extracting a single carat of diamond displaces 1,750 tons of earth, generating toxic waste.
Impact on Indigenous Communities
Mining operations frequently displace indigenous populations, stripping them of ancestral lands and resources. Contaminated environments further degrade their livelihoods and cultural heritage.
