Our clients trust us with their most important projects or investment queries

Independence is key and our deep experience and understanding of the
international private wealth environment generally enables us to make
substantial cost savings and offer better returns for our clients. We believe
that less is more and in that respect not only strategy, but also structure
matters.


DIAMOND SERVICES




DIAMOND CONSULTING & INVESTMENTS

Over the past 25 years, we have established direct business relationships with
important diamond manufacturers and dealers. These companies have proven
themselves over the years as reliable partners, with spotless track records and
a solid reputation, both financially and compliance wise. Our
independence allows us efficient sourcing, from which our clients directly
benefit. 

Based on our 3 independent academic studies, covering the period 1999-2018 and
thousands of public auction sales of investment grade gems, we can claim with a
high degree of certainty that investment grade diamonds offer true
diversification in a portfolio and protect against inflation.

KEY FACTS ABOUT THE DIAMOND INDUSTRY



At the end of a devastating civil war in West-Africa beginning 2002, the diamond
industry together with governments, NGO’s, international organisations and
private companies started implementing structural changes, which makes the
industry one of the most controlled and sustainable ecosystems of organisations
and communities in the world. Unlike some of the myths surrounding diamond
mining, 95% of diamonds by value are extracted by a handful of large scale
diamond miners in geographically diverse locations, such as Botswana, Russia and
Canada. They directly and indirectly employ over 10 million people, which
support tens of millions more in their daily livelihoods, generating
multi-billion dollars of socio-economic benefits. Also the remaining 5% of
smaller scale production gets checked by a whole chain of government bodies,
private companies and specialised banks, before being imported and distributed
in the key trading centres. Thereafter diamonds are cut and polished in
manufacturing centres such as Antwerp and Surat where again many checks and due
diligence are conducted before they reach the jewellery manufacturer or brand.

With over 25 years of experience and know-how in the complete diamond value
chain, Rocks International privileges working with the best-in-class for its
diamond sourcing. The sourcing process goes beyond the conflict-free guarantee
and also includes elements of financial robustness, sustainability and ethical
behaviour of the diamond partners.


HOW IT WORKS



Over the past 25 years, we have built an extremely valuable eco-system in the
global diamond industry. This expertise and network enables us to provide
concrete solutions or answer to the most difficult queries of our clients.
Most of our clients have very precise needs, so we prefer to work through clear
written mandates, offering transparency and accountability to both sides.
On a more philosophical note, we prefer quality over quantity, sustainability
over growth and are proud that some of our clients became very good friends and
our best ambassadors.




ROCKS JEWELLERY



Rocks Jewellery, part of Rocks International, creates personalised timeless
diamond jewellery. Our design and jewellery creations are made in partnership
with one of the most renowned private ateliers in Antwerp, while our
clients benefit substantially from our wholesale diamond purchase prices. We are
proud that our jewellery is handmade by very experienced local artisans, who are
remunerated correctly for their skills. Furthermore our Swiss
Hallmark underscores our commitment to excellence and authenticity.

All of our diamonds (above 0.25 cts) come with an international
recognised certificate, guaranteed conflict-free and sourced in
Antwerp from very reputable diamond manufacturers and diamantaires, with a long
and spotless track-record in the business. Often they are suppliers themselves
to the top tiers brands worldwide. For the smaller diamonds, we receive all
necessary assurances both in terms of quality as conflict-free origin directly
from our suppliers.

By organising diamond supply and jewellery manufacturing at the same
location, we also commit ourselves to keep our carbon footprint as low as
possible.
