About Ilana Belsky

Ilana Belsky began her journey into diamond cutting more than two decades ago under the guidance of her father, a renowned master diamond cutter. Even though she rejects contemporary tooling whenever possible - selecting instead the traditional copper wire tools that have been employed for centuries - it is within the realm of diamond cutting that she truly started to veer away from established customs. Only by fully abandoning conventional guidelines did she uncover her genuine passion and fully embrace the freedom of artistic expression. Ilana's cutting of diamonds draws inspiration from the organic beauty of nature and the inherent allure of raw diamonds themselves. In the art of manipulating rough diamonds and sculpting them into freeform cuts, Ilana's approach is truly remarkable. With an artist's intuition, she carefully observes the diamond, seeking out the areas where light caresses its surface. Guided by this delicate interplay of light and form, Ilana masterfully cuts the diamond, transforming it into a unique masterpiece. This hands-on process is a far cry from the computer systems used by modern factories to analyse and plot for cutters to follow, often using automatic tools. Set within our range of classic-contemporary designs, we make iconic jewellery that will last a lifetime, and beyond. Every one of our jewellery designs has been created to draw the eye to the intrinsic beauty of our unique stones. And each piece has been painstakingly crafted to hero the natural beauty of a freeform diamond, allowing light to flow through it and create wonderous reflections of liquid light. Every one of our diamonds has been cut here in the UK by one of the last remaining diamond cutters, with skills passed down through generations. We think this provides a story that is as unique as the stone you could be wearing. You can have no greater confidence in a piece of jewellery and its captivating beauty will endure for a lifetime.
