All Natural Diamonds

Traditionally, only the most transparent diamonds are cut into gemstones and set in jewelry. A true shame, Margriet thought, as there are countless beautiful diamonds of the wildest of colours and shapes. She wanted to show the world the beauty of these natural diamonds. In 2017, After 33 years of goldsmithing, Margriet Cuijpers started cutting diamonds herself. She could finally decide for herself which diamonds to use and how to use them.

This new adventure led to her current brand: All Natural Diamonds by Margriet. She cuts and processes all types, sizes, colors and shapes of the diamond and she expertly fixes the stones in every piece of jewelry using microscopic setting technique. Craftsmanship and creativity go together, the result is unique, contemporary and valuable jewelry.

Her goal? To show the beauty of all stones in her jewelry.

With her specialisation as stonesetter, it is not surprising that she has always been bewildered by diamonds and stones. Already during her years in the professional goldsmith education, she was in love with diamonds. Margriet’s love for diamonds became a passion when she started to study the skill of cutting diamonds in 2017. After finishing her study of diamond cutting, she was accepted as a member of the oldest diamond bourse in the world, the Amsterdam Diamond Bourse, hallmarking her position as one of the few goldsmiths in The Netherlands with an elaborate knowledge and skill in both diamond cutting and goldsmithing. You find this skill in all her jewelry: she is able to set the wildest of shapes of rough and refined stones and diamonds, leading to unique shapes and forms of jewelry.
