The house

Natural colour diamonds, tailored to every project.

Valmer Carat is a French trading house specialising in natural colour diamonds. We assist jewellers, workshops and private clients in acquiring the stone that will carry their project, taking into account the hue desired, the intensity, the shape, the weight and the budget available.

Our selection spans the spectrum of natural colours: yellows, pinks, oranges, and rarer hues besides. Where a stone does not appear among those we hold, we undertake to obtain it for you: you need only specify what it must be.

We offer loose stones only, to the exclusion of any mounted piece; this is the specialisation of the trade, and it allows us to devote our full attention to the stone itself. Each is certified by the Gemological Institute of America and filmed before any transaction, so that you may judge it as it is.

  • Roughly one diamond in ten thousand is naturally coloured, and no two colour stones are ever alike.
  • On request, other hues, other shapes and other sizes are obtained from our partners.
  • Never a mounted piece, and never a stone presented without its laboratory report.

Our story

What to know

Colour before carat

On a colour diamond, hue and intensity account for most of the price. Weight comes far behind. A small, intensely coloured stone outranks a large pale one.

Faint Fancy Vivid

The GIA places every stone on seven grades, from Faint to Fancy Vivid. The laboratory report alone is authoritative.

No two colour diamonds are alike.

The report

Nothing without a GIA report

Every stone we present comes with its report from the Gemological Institute of America. The laboratory records the natural origin of the colour, the hue, the intensity, the weight and the cut. We present no stone without that document.

  • OriginColour of natural origin, established by the laboratory
  • HueDominant colour and any modifiers
  • IntensityGrade placed on the Faint to Fancy Vivid scale
  • Shape & weightCut, measurements and weight in carats

Frequently asked

Before you write to us

Answers to the questions we are asked most often.

Are the diamonds naturally coloured?

Yes. The stones we present are diamonds whose colour is of natural origin, as established by the Gemological Institute of America in the report that accompanies each of them.

Does every stone come with its GIA report?

Yes. The GIA report is shared with you before any commitment, so that you can verify every detail, and the original is handed over with the stone.

Do you offer jewellery?

No. We supply loose stones exclusively, which you may then entrust to the jeweller of your choice for the setting.

Do you work with private clients?

Yes. Whether you are a private client or a jewellery professional, the approach is identical and every request receives the same attention.

What if the stone I want is not on the list?

We take care of obtaining it through our partners, based on the characteristics you give us. The lead time is confirmed according to the stone requested.

Do you deliver internationally?

Yes. We deliver in France and internationally; shipping arrangements are confirmed at the time of order.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Payment is made by bank transfer.

How quickly do you reply?

We reply promptly to every request, with the list of available stones that match your project.
