Canadian Diamonds from Gahcho Kué mine

Canadian Diamonds from Gahcho Kué mine

September 16, 2024

The Gahcho Kué diamond mine is a joint venture between Mountain Province Diamonds, which owns 49% of the project, and De Beers Canada, which holds a 51% interest and is the mine’s operator. The joint venture property is located in the Northwest Territories of Canada, 300 km east-northeast of Yellowknife, on the traditional territories of Tłįchǫ, Dene, and Métis people. The mine site lies on the edge of the continuous permafrost zone in an area known as the barren lands due to its lack of forests.

What's Going on with the Diamond Supply Chain?

October 17, 2023

To say we are living in strange and unprecedented times at this point would be an understatement, however it truly is a bizarre time in the diamond industry. The market has yet to fully recover from the supply chain disruptions (and resulting product scarcity) caused by the pandemic that sent prices soaring in 2021 and 2022.

From the depths of over 150 kilometres beneath Canada’s North West Territories, a shiny 2.58ct diamond was born to the Ekati Mine. Fast forward, the diamond now sits pretty as a 1.08ct cushion cut in a romantic hand fabricated yellow gold ring made by our friend and client, Elana Ginsberg of K&Co Bespoke.

Rustic Diamonds

Mother Nature's Dirty Kitchen and Diamond Impurities

October 14, 2022

Inclusions in diamonds are one of the ways we set them apart. Although purer diamonds have traditionally been considered of higher value, there is almost a generic element to consider since they all look relatively the same to the naked eye. No magnification is required to appreciate Mother Nature’s artistry in these alternative diamonds, and their individuality is easily recognizable. The spectrum of variation that rustic diamonds offer provides mystery and fascination to gem geeks and casual consumers alike.

Australian Sapphires

Australian Sapphires Are Better Than Vegemite

October 03, 2022

Misfit’s Australian sapphires come from Capricorn and Great Northern Mining, in the highlands of Central Queensland. Operations are owned and overseen by FURA Gems, an ethical gemstone mining enterprise. The rough parcels (or lots) of FURA gemstones come with a certificate of origin, enabling us to stay in line with our principle of industry transparency. Ethical sapphire mining practices are also regulated by the government, requiring a license to mine, setting standards for health and safety, controlling crime and corruption, and restoring the environment.

Montana Sapphires

A Misfit Adventure for Sapphires to the Treasure State

September 22, 2022

Before the discovery of sapphire, Montana was already known for mining gold, silver, and copper. So imagine living in the 1860s, and while mining for gold, somewhat unexpectedly, a whole other jackpot, the discovery of sapphire, was made. This true story happened along the Missouri River. Initially the watchmaking industry capitalized on the availability of this very valuable gemstone supply, however the introduction of synthetic sapphires in the 1940s saved the integrity of these mines. Nowadays, finer Sapphire rough is sold to and sought after by jewellers, gem dealers, and hobbyists the world over.
