The story of Diavik Sourced™ diamonds began over a billion years ago under the subarctic terrain of the Northwest Territories, a vast expanse of snow-covered islands and lakes that remain frozen for up to ten months of the year.
Diavik Sourced™ diamonds originate from the Diavik Diamond Mine in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The rough diamonds are carefully extracted from the earth under the highest possible ethical, environmental and safety standards.
Formed by the fires of creation 160 kilometres beneath this captivating landscape, these terrestrial treasures were discovered in 1991 on a vast northern lakebed that is now the site of the Diavik Diamond Mine. It is here, in one of the most remote and inhospitable locations on Earth, where some of the most beautiful and brilliant diamonds are responsibly unearthed.
Renowned for producing some of the highest quality diamonds in the world, diamonds sourced at Diavik sparkle with a magnificence that rivals the spectacular lightshow of the Aurora Borealis – the Northern Lights that illuminate their birthplace. Created billions of years ago, each Diavik Sourced™ diamond is responsibly extracted and carefully tracked from mine to market to ensure its authenticity.
Today, over 40% of Diavik’s workers are from the north of Canada, nearly half of whom are Indigenous. Diavik also works closely with local companies to assist them in building capacity so they are better positioned to pursue potential future business opportunities.
