Among other things, diamonds are prized for their superlative optical qualities. More than any other precious stone, a diamond reflects or returns light, an attribute the experts call brilliance. But no matter how flawless they may be, diamonds do not sparkle naturally. A rough stone bears little resemblance to a beautifully cut gem. Of course, cutting them isn't easy. Diamonds are the hardest natural material known to man. Only a highly skilled artisan can successfully cut and polish a stone, which will increase its brilliance and value at the same time. Henri Daussi has been one of Europe's premier diamond cutters for more than half a century.

Founded in Antwerp, Belgium, the unofficial diamond capital of the world, the company is family-owned and operated. Henri Daussi wedding rings are still made much the same way they were at the start. Rough diamonds are sourced directly from the mines. Certified gemologists carefully select each stone before turning it over to the diamond cutters. Once the diamond is inspected and its strengths and weaknesses have been accessed, it can be cut by an experienced artisan.

Unlike many of his competitors, Henri Daussi never compromised on cut quality. Because size determines value, most cutters are encouraged to simply trim their stones, instead of cutting and polishing them to maximize their beauty and brilliance. All Henri Daussi wedding rings are cut according to the ridged standards set forth by the founder. In other words, cut quality is never sacrificed for size.  
Each stone that enters their Antwerp cutting facility is cut to its full potential and beauty by an experienced artisan. Superior craftsmanship and an adamant refusal to compromise make Henri Daussi wedding rings the most eye-catching accessories on the market.

Because they get their diamonds directly from local mines, Henri Daussi can guarantee with absolute confidence that all of their stones are conflict-free. Not to mention that fact that they are the highest quality stones in all of Europe!

In addition to employing some of the best diamond cutters in the world, there is another reason why Henri Daussi wedding rings outshine their peers. As a young artisan, Henri Daussi fell under the spell of diamond cut that had fallen out of fashion in his time. It was an elegant and romantic cut called the cushion cut. After years of working with it, the young master discovered that it actually reflected more light than most other cuts. To this day, the most popular Henri Daussi wedding rings are cushions that are cut according to the exacting standards handed down from the founder.
