Misfit Diamonds

My favourite are the ones with intense enough fluorescence (usually Strong to Very Strong) that they respond to the UV in natural daylight, causing them to fluoresce in the sun, like the 1.8ct antique cut Pear at the end 🪲

Fluorescent stones absorb UV at the atomic level, which “excites” their electrons, causing them to temporarily shift from a stable state to an unstable, high-energy, excited state. As they return back to their stable states, the energy is released in the form of luminescence, which is why they glow under UV exposure.

I listed a couple of kinds of fluorescence in this video, however, there are also diamonds that fluoresce a range of different colours, including White, Red, Green!

The A T T I C x Misfit love runs deep, we’ve been misfit-ing together since before Misfit began. Our origin stories began in Toronto as young upstarts with a love of jewellery and unique stones that are outside of the norm. I still remember that meet-up at Dark Horse Coffee in 2016, and the milky Grey Pear that I knew Susan would love before I even showed it to her. It’s been an honour and a privilege to grow alongside founders Melissa Gobeil and Susan Shaw over the years, their intuitive designs always have seemed a half-step ahead of the industry, helping set trends and redefine how classic concepts with modern aesthetic touches. It’s their passion for ethical luxury and innovative design are part of what sets them apart in a crowded Toronto jewellery scene; I look forward to my visits to their studio, both because it’s a sincere pleasure to reconnect with dear friends and catch up about life and to excitedly chat about unique stones and new concepts they’ve been cooking up behind the scenes. Here’s to many more Attic x Misfit collaborations over the years, I can’t wait to see what this dynamic design duo has in store for you in 2027.

Am I the only one? Regardless of how you set it, this ethereal misfit is going to look gorgeous. Fancy White Diamonds are one of the lesser known Fancy Colours in the Diamond world. They get their colour from microscopic cloud inclusions throughout the stone, which give them a silky white body colour. The neatest part about them is these cloud inclusions bend and scatter light passing through the stone, which can give them an opalescent blush of colour in natural day light that is incredibly beautiful 🦄

Love and respect to the good folks at GIA (Gemological Institute of America), but this one hurt a little 🥺 Fortunately for us, we’re firm believers that letter grades and classifications do not define a diamond and this 2.05cy Step Cut stunner is a perfect example that reading a certificate isn’t always the best way to look at a diamond. What do you think, do we ask for a recheck or accept the grading?

The kind of I1 that could hold its own in the company of SI1s and VS2s, you can find it listed online under Stock ID 24276-01 ✨👀

From the Island of the Misfit Toys comes a new kind of diamond. Naturally imperfect, these diamonds aren’t the diamonds your parents grew up with. They’re a different kind of beautiful, one that exist outside of conventional classification categories; far from flawless, these misfits celebrate their imperfections as the source of their natural beauty.

Free-form faceted raw diamonds from Canada’s Gahcho Kué Mine, would you rock these rugged stones in a piece of jewellery?
