SUNSTAR EXPERIENCE
A star is born . . .
The SunStar experience. A glittering journey, paved in diamonds and decadence.
SunStar Diamonds take you on a visual and interactive adventure. From beginnings deep in the Earth’s core one hundred million years ago, to the dazzling display of jewels in our store today.
From the mining process, to cutting and polishing, and finally – a setting that displays your diamond in all its beauty... SunStar’s exciting exhibits, show-reels and educational presentations bring the diamond process to life. Marvel as our in-house diamond cutters and polishers unleash the potential of a stone still in its raw format or observe our master goldsmiths practice their art on the premises, handcrafting the fine jewellery available in store.
Discover the ‘four Cs’ of diamond grading - cut, colour, clarity and carat. Our comprehensive advice will replace the mystery of purchasing a diamond, with complete confidence.
