Canadian Diamonds

Icy and elegant, diamonds mined in northwest Canada have a sparkle and scintillation all their own. Zale's Arctic Brilliance diamonds are perfectly cut and hand-set with great care. Each diamond is independently certified and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.


Conflict Free Diamonds

We take the issue of conflict diamonds very seriously. The Signet family of fine jewelers is part of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), ensuring its diamonds are from conflict-free sources. You can learn more about our Conflict Free Diamond Commitment here.
