Part of our stunning Beaverbrooks Diamond collection, Maple Leaf Diamonds are true Canadian treasures, considered to be among some of the most beautiful and brilliant diamonds in the world.

How incredible is that?!
“Mined in the heart of the north of Canada, Maple Leaf Diamonds are formed in the earth up to 3.5 billion years ago. When you wear a Maple Leaf Diamonds ring or piece of jewellery, you know you have a rare, beautiful, and eternally precious gemstone from the Arctic wilderness to treasure. What’s more romantic than that?” – Lorna, Head of Diamonds and Jewellery. Read more from Lorna in her bio.
We venture back three billion years to tell the story about these treasure-forever diamonds, uncover their stunning diamond ring and jewellery collections, and what makes them so special…
Three billion years in the making
Formed somewhere between 900 million to over three billion years ago beneath the pristine arctic wilderness of Canada’s ice fields, Maple Leaf Diamonds were formed under extreme pressure and high temperatures.
The pristine Canadian North has become symbolic of the purity and beauty of Canadian diamonds. When the rough diamonds are selected, they remain natural and untreated, revealing their natural beauty and exceptional fire from their expert cut. All of their stunning diamonds beautifully reflect the hushed and picturesque landscape from where they came from, conjuring images of pristine, frozen wilderness. It's very clear to see why Maple Leaf Diamonds are amongst some of the highest quality diamonds in the world.
Being able to trace exactly where your diamond came from is something that makes Maple Leaf Diamonds even more special and makes an incredibly romantic idea if you're buying a loved one a stunning diamond. The laser-inscribed tracking number on the girdle isn’t visible to the naked eye, but if you use an eye glass, you can see your very own unique diamond identification number that corresponds to the certificate of origin, as well as the Canada Mark symbol to validate the diamond's Canadian origin.
If you're lucky enough to already own a stunning diamond from the Maple Leaf Diamonds collection, then trace your diamond here and see where it all began.
