Behind the Scenes: How Hinch & Liu Selects the Finest Lab-Grown Diamonds

At Hinch & Liu, we believe that every diamond tells a story—one of brilliance, precision, and ethical craftsmanship. Our mission is to bring you the finest lab-grown diamonds, carefully curated to meet the highest standards of quality and beauty. But what goes on behind the scenes to ensure that every diamond we offer is truly exceptional? Let’s take you through our meticulous selection process.

1. Only the Best Sources

We work with trusted diamond laboratories that use cutting-edge technology to create high-quality lab-grown diamonds. These labs employ either High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) methods, ensuring diamonds with remarkable purity and brilliance. Our long-standing relationships with these certified producers allow us to handpick only the best stones.

2. Internationally Recognised Certification

Quality assurance is paramount. All Hinch & Liu diamonds above 0.25ct are certified by the IGI (International Gemmological Institute) or GIA (Gemmological Institute of America). These globally respected organisations provide detailed grading reports, verifying the diamond’s cut, colour, clarity, and carat weight. Customers can also verify each certificate through the official IGI and GIA online report check systems.

3. Superior Diamond Grading Standards

We follow a strict grading system to ensure that every diamond meets our premium quality standards:

• Colour: Only D-E-F (colourless) diamonds are selected, ensuring a bright, icy-white appearance.

• Clarity: We choose VS1+ diamonds, meaning they are eye-clean with no visible inclusions.

• Cut: An excellent cut maximises the diamond’s brilliance and fire, making it sparkle from every angle.

4. Ethical & Sustainable Commitment

Sustainability is at the heart of our brand. Lab-grown diamonds are not only 100% real diamonds but also an eco-friendly and conflict-free alternative to mined diamonds. By sourcing responsibly, we ensure that our diamonds have zero environmental destruction, no unethical labour practices, and a significantly lower carbon footprint.

5. Stringent In-House Inspection by Experts

Beyond third-party certifications, every diamond undergoes a rigorous in-house quality check by our Gem-A certified gemmologist. We analyse the stone under magnification, assessing its brilliance, symmetry, and overall appearance. Only diamonds that pass our internal inspections make it into our collections.

6. Perfectly Matched for Jewellery

When crafting our jewellery, we take extra care to match diamonds in terms of colour, cut, and clarity. Whether it’s for an engagement ring, necklace, or bespoke piece, we ensure that every diamond complements the design flawlessly, enhancing the overall aesthetic and luxury of our jewellery.

7. Transparency & Customer Confidence

We believe in complete transparency. That’s why every diamond comes with detailed information about its specifications, along with a certification report that customers can verify. When you shop with Hinch & Liu, you can be confident that you’re getting a genuine, high-quality, and ethically sourced diamond.
