​​Do you have a 'Shopfront'?
WHARTON does not have traditional Shopfronts.
We have private viewing rooms to which we welcome our clients exclusively by appointment.
​
Your consultation will always be far more personal, private and focal than you have ever experienced before.
​
Offering you not only the absolute best in quality, but also the very best value possible as we eliminate all unnecessary - and frankly - ludicrous - expenses of crowded Shopping Malls that would have to be passed on to our clientele.
​
We highly recommend to book your appointment through our Contact page and see for yourself what you could actually attain when every Dollar you Invest in a Jewel returns to you as a Magnificent Diamond - and isn't wasted on anything else!

What should I/ We bring to an appointment?
Time!
Our consultations are never rushed.
​
For many of our clients the purchase of a Jewel is a rare occasion; for most it marks a very significant moment in their lives.
To be chosen to participate in your special and personal journey is a highly fulfilling aspect of our vocation.
​
We want to make sure we get everything right and make your WHARTON experience not only a memorable - but a rather remarkable one.
​
You will be encouraged to share your very own vision with us; to be incorporated in the process of creating a unique masterpiece just for you. Perhaps you might even bring some sketches you may have made?
​
An indication of your allocated budget is well regarded, so we may guide you into a variety of options available when choosing a Diamond that is perfect for YOU.
​
​
Are your Diamonds certified?
​
Metaphorically speaking, a certificate is the passport of a Diamond.
​
Identification and verification has become more important than ever today. At the very least to ascertain your Diamond is in fact Natural and Earth Mined and not some worthless lab-grown imitation (the prices of which are plummeting weekly due to ever increasing volume in production).
WHARTON exclusively trade in Earth Mined Diamonds and any Certification that may accompany your Jewel is attended to by the Diamond Industry's 3 most respected and globally recognized laboratories.
​
In alphabetical order these are:
G.I.A. - Gemmological Institute of America
H.R.D. - The Diamond High Council
I.G.I.- (International Gemmological Institute
​
In fact - alongside their respective Laboratory Report Numbers - many of the finest Diamonds on Earth have our Name Laser Inscribed on them!
​
We refuse to engage with any other "certificates", which in our expertise by and large aren't worthy of the paper they are written on and
highly recommend against them - irrespective of where you decide to source your Jewel !!!
​
​
Our Diamonds are Guaranteed to be Ethically Sourced !
(In writing - since 2003)
Just as they falsely claim to be Diamond Dealers, many Jewellers will also claim to be trading in conflict free Diamonds.
However, there will be almost none that will go beyond impressive lip service, let alone provide any official or written guarantees to substantiate their claims.
As actual Diamond Dealers, well respected in several Diamond Bourses Globally, WHARTON Diamond Trading is not only proud to participate in a global initiative called the "Kimberley Process" but also bound to conform with its Trading Rules.
These unequivocally require WHARTON Diamond Trading to provide written guarantees to be conflict free - for every Diamond Sold!
​
Let us also clarify that a Dealer is not a Jeweller that merely sells Diamonds to the Public. We are defined as the professionals which supply Jewellery stores and in many instances furthermore Cut their own Diamonds and educate Jewellery Staff.
​
Ask yourself why a self proclaimed "Diamond Dealer" would not provide this written guarantee to you in their documentation - which is obligational to any actual Diamantaire:
​
"The diamonds herein invoiced have been purchased from legitimate sources not involved in funding conflict and in compliance with United Nations resolutions. The seller hereby guarantees that these diamonds are conflict free, based on personal knowledge and/or written guarantees provided by the supplier of these diamonds."
​
"At Wharton your special moments and memories will never be tarnished by, or based on, someone else's misfortune!"

Our dedicated polisher(s) will file away any scratches where possible, clean and re-rhodium plate any White Gold components and return your Jewel in a condition almost no different than Brand New.
​
Not to be compared - let alone mistaken for a 30second "dip-wash" in an Ultra Sound!
​
Your Jewel will retain its Brand New look and feel of the day it was added to your collection.
​
Further included in our 24month care period is one resizing - free of charge..
​
However, we will happily extent this service at any given time if the need for an adjustment arises naturally during pregnancy.
​
No doubt you should seamlessly continue to enjoy what symbolizes one of the most significant moments in your life whilst anticipating another.
​
It shall be noted that in line with WHARTON standards resizing will be attended to by exclusively utilizing the latest in laser technology; leaving no visible remnants or solder marks.

​
"TWICE AS MUCH" - by Wharton
​
For the Diamond lovers amongst you that wish to upgrade their Diamonds over time,
​
We guarantee to take in any undamaged WHARTON Jewel at its Original purchase price under condition that you add no less than an equal amount of your original purchase price to your upgrade.
​
A "White for White" and "Fancy for Fancy" - colour Diamond rule applies.
​
Exceptions may be made at our sole discretion upon request.
​
Growing your Diamond collection to incredible sizes has never been easier.
​
​
Do you provide Valuations?
​
In addition to all original Certificates that may accompany your principal Diamond, and an itemized Invoice outlining particulars of your purchase, you will also receive a separate and - most notably - INDEPENDENT Valuation for insurance purposes - at no additional fee.
​
Frankly, we find it frivolous for Jewellery Stores to provide in-house scribbles, conveniently passed on as Valuations to justify their ludicrous prices.
​
To make matters worse, there are very few amongst them that actually even have the credentials of an actual Diamond Grader or Gemmologist - and even in those rare circumstances the aforementioned constitutes a significant conflict of interest by any standards!
​
At WHARTON we believe in Integrity and happily pay third parties that have earned their respective credentials to do their job - to the best of their abilities and training!
​
​
Do you offer re-modelling services?
​
A WHARTON Jewel is only available with A WHARTON Diamond!
​
Exceptions may apply at our sole discretion in circumstances in which you:
- desire to upgrade an existing Diamond;
- wish to merge a family heirloom with one of our Diamonds in a new creation;
​
​
Is there a prerequisite for an appointment?
​
A sincere interest!
​
We require full contact details, such as Name, Surname, email and a Mobile number prior to a consultation.
​
No doubt you can appreciate that we get an insurmountable amount of contacts via email and our social media presence.
Unfortunately a large volume of these communications have proven to be solely based on curiosity.
​
Whilst we genuinely value that interest, our time is as precious as the Jewels we create - and so should yours be.
