Our diamonds are ethically manufactured to the strictest international standards, including those of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme and of the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council), of which we are proud members. S. Schnitzer is vertically integrated in the worldwide diamond pipeline, from mine to consumer, and strives to empower and improve diamond communities across the globe.
Exquisite stones feature the top parameters of the four C's – carat, cut, colour and clarity. Uplifting, timeless jewellery designs combine creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial flair with an unwavering commitment to excellence.
