Diamond Education: Diamond Quality Promise
The Robbins Brothers Difference.
Selection
Each Robbins Brothers location carries hundreds of diamonds to choose from so you can easily compare diamonds side by side for visual beauty.
Price
Robbins Brothers buys diamonds direct from sight holders all around the world which means we eliminate the middlemen and will pass those savings on to you.
Quality
Our diamond buyers are very demanding and we select only 1 out of 10 diamonds shown because they do not have enough visual beauty (we reject those that don't sparkle enough). We also refuse to sell fracture-filled or laser drilled diamond.
Experience
We strongly recommend you buy a diamond by seeing its visual beauty by using the tools of a professional diamond buyer. When you visit a store we encourage you to inspect your diamond under different lighting conditions and under 10x magnification.
Can you Pick the Robbins Brothers Diamond?
We reject 9 out of 10 diamonds we review.At Robbins Brothers we visually inspect every diamond to ensure that it meets our exacting standards. As no two diamonds are alike, we encourage you to inspect your diamond under the right lighting conditions, under 10x magnification and loose, out of its setting. While color, clarity, carat weight, and cut are important, at the end of the day, remember it is how beautiful your diamond sparkles.

At first glance, this diamond looks like a candidate for acceptance, but upon closer inspection you'll notice a chip at the top of the diamond. In addition to diminishing the diamond's beauty and brilliance a chip of this nature reduces a diamond's durability and is likely to fracture further over time.
The chip in this diamond means that Robbins Brothers rejected this diamond.
On paper (or online) a diamond like this one sounds like the "perfect deal" because the 4C's give the impression that the diamond is beautiful and brilliant. However, the diamond's overall appearance is extremely cloudy and dull and as a result, this diamond has virtually no brilliance or sparkle.
At Robbins Brothers this diamond was REJECTED regardless of its 4C's because it just isn't as beautiful and brilliant as a diamond should be.
This diamond is nicely cut and relatively bright. However, there is an eye visible dark inclusion that is centered and stands out, with another inclusion (this one looks like a thick white cloud) to one side that is also easily visible to the naked eye. As a result of these markings, this diamond was rejected by Robbins Brothers.
This diamond does everything a diamond should do: it is very well cut and exceptionally proportioned with inclusions off to the side that cannot easily be seen with the naked eye. The combination of these and other characteristics result in a diamond that is beautiful and brilliant. This diamond is the 1 out of 10 that makes it a Robbins Brothers Diamond.
Keep in mind that some of the "Rejected" diamonds you'll see in this section would seem like the "perfect diamond" from their diamond grading reports, but obviously they are not.
