What our clients have to say.
"Hi Pierre: Just further from Rob's email, I just wanted to thank you personally for your time and effort in creating the ring of my dreams! Have been so unproductive today as I keep staring at my finger. Thank you so much! Tamlyn"
"Hi Pierre, Tamlyn was very happy with her ring as it was in white gold we both agree it looks a lot nicer . Thanks so much for all your help and input in designing and making the ring. You did a great job and we can’t thank you enough. Kind regards. Rob and tam"
"Hi Pierre & Pam: Just a quick note - Julie is *very* happy with the ring and it seems to fit well, so no changes needed! Thanks for making what could have been quite stressful a very easy and enjoyable experience. Regards Chris"
" Engaging Pierre's service in search for the wedding ring was one of our best choices through out our whole wedding journey. Not only is he very well versed in answering all our queries, the level of services that he has provided has certainly been the most delightful; from taking the time and patience in explaining the basic, to personally delivering the finished ring to our door step. I would gladly recommend his service to anyone in search of a diamond ring."Warmest regards, Pam and Ray To Whom It May Concern: When looking for a special diamond ring my partner and I did a lot of research. We looked at jewellery stores, diamond wholesaler and dealers, even interstate dealers. Choosing the right stone can be very confusing as there are so many options. After much research we chose to deal with Pierre Joubert of The Diamond Club. We found Pierre to be extremely honest and open with us. He guided us through the options and helped us understand and narrow down the options without any hard sell. Martin Dear Pierre, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the exceptionally superb ring that you made for us. I shopped high and low and educated myself extensively on diamonds and I knew what I wanted was going to be difficult to find. Difficult insofar as the characteristics I was after were hard, if not near impossible, to find given our budget. Only yesterday I looked at my beautiful diamond and realised how very lucky I am to have found exactly what I wanted for the price we had budgeted for. For some time I thought it might be a pipe dream. Lisa
A Poem by Jacqui inspired by a Diamond Club Creation Tinkle, twinkle little star oh how big my diamonds are one for the future – one for the past and the big one for our love that will last and last So long I have waited for this ring to be created and now it’s on my finger for ever it shall linger Every time I get a glance my eyes admire it’s elegance then deep within I feel this love given to me by God above I wish that all our days could be DIAMONDS
Pierre went out of his way to provide great service including after sales service. I would highly recommend Pierre to anyone seriously looking to purchase an independently certified quality diamond at very competitive prices. (From a happy customer) Dear Pierre,I am so pleased with our purchase that I will most definitely be sending all of my friends and family to see you. We will be in touch in the near future to talk about some diamond earrings, now that I have my beautiful ring, my current diamond earrings pale in comparison. Thanks again for all your help and your efforts in sizing and re-sizing, picking up and dropping off were above and beyond what I expected. Kind regards, (From a happy customer). Pierre's products and prices offered the best value for money in Perth and even better than the Eastern states. (Liz) To Pierre On February 9th of 2006 my partner came to pick up the engagement ring we had ordered from you. I am pleased to say that we are both really happy with your work. The ring is stunning, the diamond is gorgeous and the setting is absolutely perfect, exactly what we wanted. (From a happy customer). I would highly recommend you Pierre Joubert, The Diamond Club, to anyone seeking a high quality engagement ring at the best possible price with the best customer service. Thanking you, Angela Dear Pierre We loved the fact that our diamond has “birth certificate”. This Independent Laboratory Certificate provides peace of mind as we know the diamond you provided was that which you promised and is of genuine quality. Of all the retail jewellers we visited not one of them offered this service.Please feel free to share our experience with any of your perspective clients and please ask them to contact me directly should they have any questions regarding our experience. I look forward to speaking with you soon regarding the design of our wedding bands. Yours sincerely Selina Pierre,As for service, you can tell that providing people with their dream diamonds is a passion for you. Both of us were amazed by the fact that you went out of your way on numerous occasions to make us happy. For example you recognized how busy we were and that Joondalup was not close to our home or work so you came to my work. You also went out of your way to match the colour of the gold to my existing jewelry so that my engagement ring and wedding band match all my jewelry When we asked if the ring could be ready for our engagement party next weekend, you were able to supply us with the ring, with temporary diamonds on loan, so we had something to show off until our diamonds had arrived. Then you again came to my work picked up the ring, put our diamonds in and returned it to my work. Pierre, you are amazing and have enabled us to have the most amazing ring that symbolises our love for each other. Both of us are quick to sing your praises and not only recommend people see you for diamonds but insist they do. It seems an injustice that other people can not share in the great secret the jewelry companies don’t want getting out, that thediamondclub.com.au is providing quality diamonds at an extremely affordable price. Thank you once again, we will continue to use you for all our diamond purchases. Hopefully there are many in the future!!! Sincerely, (From a happy customer) TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I am writing to recommend Pierre Joubert of The Diamond Club in the purchase of an engagement ring. After looking at many diamonds from a wide range of dealers Pierre was recommended to me. I found Pierre’s professionalism and knowledge a breath of fresh air from what I had dealt with. Pierre found me the diamond I was looking for at a competitive price and he had no problem with providing the setting I wanted. The result was a very happy fiancée. I have no hesitation in recommending Pierre for what is a significant and lifelong purchase. Sincerely, Gerard
Dear Pierre, Thank you so much for the engagement ring you created for us. The diamond is fantastic. We have recommended you to many people that are in the market for diamond jewelry. We will return sometime soon to get you to help us choose our wedding rings. Best regards, Simon Dear Pierre, Let me start by saying that I am no longer Claire, I am now introduced as the girl with THE ring. People I haven’t met know of my ring and how amazing it is. I have so many compliments and gasps of awe over my beautiful ring that you helped us design. We came to you after we had scouted around for endless days through the jewelry shops in Perth learning the 4 Cs and trying to find something individual, yet affordable. We heard about The Diamond Club through my mum’s hairdresser who said that you were very good at getting a diamond to match the one she already had. We didn’t think that you would be as good as you turned out to be. You helped us work through what we really wanted and what was important to us, while still working within a budget. When you showed us what diamonds we could get by going through you we were very pleasantly surprised. I’m sure that it’s not very often that people overestimate the price of an engagement ring. However you sourced diamonds that were perfect for us, we spent less than first anticipated and we got more than we could have hoped for. The closest ring we saw anywhere else was nearly double the price, with inferior diamonds. Sincerely, Claire Dear Pierre Thank you for creating such a lovely engagement ring. We are so happy with the lovely diamond and setting. Do thank you jeweller for creating this stunning ring.All the best Nick Dear Pierre We would like to express how thrilled we are with the diamond you sourced for us and the engagement ring you subsequently designed and provided. When we began the process of looking for our engagement ring, we, like most couples began our search at the well know city jewellers unaware that a service such as yours existed. The fact that you were able to import our diamond direct meant that we were able to purchase our engagement ring at “wholesale prices” and so effectively we ended up with a better quality and larger diamond than we could have afforded if we had spent the same amount of money at a retail jeweller.

The two biggest laboratories in the world are GIA and EGL. Both of these are reputable with the main difference being that GIA applies a stricter grading system where as the EGL approach is “softer”. This may result in the same stone obtaining a different grading from the two laboratories. GIA might grade the colour of a stone as “H” where EGL might grade it as “G”. Both these laboratories grade stones according to their prospective master set of stones. This difference is also reflected in the price of the stone. A stone with a softer grading will carry a bigger discount than a stone with a stricter grading which equal out the playing field. Colour and clarity grading is an opinion of humans grading the stones and not an exact science. The same lab might at different times (with different employees) grade the same stone differently. However, on the most important part of the grading report both laboratories are exactly the same. The proportions of the diamond i.e. the table width, total depth, and crown and pavilion angles etcetera are an exact science and are measured and calculated using sophisticated measuring instruments. These proportion of the diamond determents the brilliance of the stone and therefore should be ideal. An ideal cut “H” is a much better stone to buy than a poorly cut “F” Round Brilliant: The most common style of cutting both diamonds and coloured stones. The standard round brilliant consists of 57 facets; 1 table, 8 bezel facets, 8 star facets 16 upper-girdle facets on the crown; 8 pavilion facets, 16 lower girdle facets; and usually a culet on the pavilion. Modifications of the round brilliant include such fancy shapes as the marquise, half moon, pear shape and many others. Princess: Is a relatively new shape and generally has 70 to 76 facets (no culet). Normally it is close to a square shape (+ or - 10%), but may come in elongated versions. Watch out for girdles which are extremely thin and thus prone to chipping. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.00-1.10. Pear: A variation of the Brilliant cut, combining the Round and Marquise cuts, with 58 facets to only 56 facets (when the pavilion facets at the head and tail are eliminated). Shoulders should have a gently but distinctly rounded arch. Common length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.50-1.75. Oval: A brilliant style of cutting very similar to a Round except it is elliptical. It was invented by Lazare Kaplan in the early 1960s. Oval brilliant usually has 56 or 57 facets. Beware of uneven or high shoulders (they should have a gently but distinctly rounded arch). Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.30-1.65. Marquise: This shape has a boat shaped girdle with 57 facets. The shape and placement of the facets is of the brilliant type. The name "Marquise" came from a legend of the Marquise of Pompadour that the Sun King wanted a Diamond to be polished into the shape of the mouth of the Marquise. Look for uneven "wings" or undefined points. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.75-2.25.Emerald: A form of step cutting. It is usually rectangular but sometimes may be square, in which case it is known as a square emerald cut. It has rows (steps) of elongated facets on the crown and pavilion, parallel to the girdle, and with corner facets. The number of rows of elongated facets may vary, although the usual number is three in the crown and three on the pavilion. Inclusions are slightly more visible in "step-cut" shapes relative to "brilliant styles. Look for too narrow or missing corners. The bevelled corners protect the stone and make it easier to set. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.30-1.70.Radiant: Rectangular or square stone with cut corners. The original patented cut has 70 facets but it is readily available in modified versions with 62 to 70 facets. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.20-1.50 for the rectangular stones. Heart: Look for uneven or flat "wings" or too shallow cleft. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 0.90-1.10.Trillion: Popular choice for side-diamonds to enhance centre diamond. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 0.90-1.10.Cushion: Evolved from the 'Old Mine Cut' that was developed before the turn of the century. It is square to rectangular cut with rounded corners and 58 facets and is characteristically with large facets, depth, and an open cutlet (the tip on the bottom of the diamond).The four main factors which determine the value of the diamond are: Size (Carat Weight) Cut Colour Clarity They are often referred to as the "Four C's". Carat weight: A diamond's weight is expressed in carats. Carat weight is the easiest of the four C's to determine. To get the exact weight, however, the diamond must be loose. One carat is divided into 100 "points" so that a diamond of 50 points is described as a half carat in size, or 0.50 carat. Within common weight ranges, there is little or no variation in per-carat price. Cut: The cut of a diamond which is also referred to as its facets relates to its proportion. Many cutters choose to sacrifice some of the diamond's beauty to produce a stone that is a larger carat weight. Cut, more than any other quality aspect gives the diamond its sparkle. A diamond gets its brilliance and scintillation by the cutting and polishing of its facets, allowing the maximum amount of light that enters through its top to be reflected and dispersed back through the top. With proper cutting the light passes through the top, bounces off the sides, and then travels back out the top, giving the diamond optimum brilliance. If the diamond is cut too deep, light passes through the side of the diamond. If the diamond is cut too shallow, light passes through the bottom of the diamond, also inhibiting maximum brilliance. Two popular overall proportion indicators are Total Depth Percentage (D %) and Table Percentage (T %). D% is the diamond's depth expressed as a percentage of its width (average diameter for rounds). T% is the diamond's "table" width expressed as a percentage of its overall width (diameters for rounds). Round diamonds with cutting proportions within the range generally considered attractive have depths from 55 to 63 percent. The table size of most round diamonds lies between 56 and 64 percent. With non-round shapes ("fancy" shapes), much greater proportion variations are encountered. In most fancy shapes, higher D% and T% are more common and are dependent on width to length ratios. Round Facet Diagram Colour: Diamonds come naturally in almost every colour of the rainbow. However, most people prefer diamonds in the white range. Colourless diamonds are more valuable, because they are rarer and their lack of colour, or whiteness, in a diamond that allows the light to pass effortlessly through the stone and disperse that beauty back to the observer. The colour grading scale established by the GIA (Gemmological Institute of America) varies from D (totally colourless) to Z (light yellow). D through F is virtually colourless. G, H and I diamonds appear colourless when mounted. J, K and L diamonds look very nearly colourless, but you can see some colour in larger stones. Beyond M, most people can see colour pretty easily. The colour of the metal in a mounting can either mask or enhance the diamond colour. Yellow gold makes slightly yellow or brown diamonds appear more colourless. White mounting (gold or platinum) makes the colour more perceptible. Colour Diagram Fluorescence: Fluorescence is not formally a colour grading term. Many diamonds glow when exposed to light which contains relatively high amounts of ultraviolet. This is due to a natural interaction between the light's energy and the atoms in the diamond. Some diamonds, (about 10%), fluorescence strongly enough so as to be somewhat noticeable in regular (incandescent) light. Strong fluorescence in colourless to very near colourless grades (D through G) sometime can give the diamond a hazy appearance. Generally, for very light yellow colour diamonds, fluorescence is considered to be beneficial since it makes the diamond appear whiter. The beauty of any diamond that exhibits 'faint' fluorescence is not adversely affected in any way Clarity: Clarity describes the clearness or purity of a diamond. This is determined by the number, size, nature, and location of the internal (inclusions) and external (blemishes) imperfections.
