Meet The Team | Nic Dracakis
As a master jeweller and certified gemologist, Nic Dracakis understands the importance of sourcing the highest quality diamonds and gemstones for his clients.
With over 30 years of experience in the jewellery industry, Nic has developed a global network of trusted suppliers who provide him with access to some of the world's most coveted gems.
When sourcing diamonds and gemstones, Nic focuses on three key factors: quality, ethical sourcing, and uniqueness. By prioritising these factors, he is able to create one-of-a-kind pieces that capture the essence of his clients' unique style and personality.
Quality
The quality of a diamond or gemstone is determined by a number of factors, including its colour, clarity, and cut. Nic works closely with his suppliers to ensure that every stone he uses meets his exacting standards for quality. He only sources diamonds that are certified by reputable grading laboratories such as the GIA or AGS, and he carefully inspects each gemstone to ensure that it meets his high standards for clarity and colour.
Ethical Sourcing
Ethical sourcing is also a top priority for Nic. He is committed to ensuring that all of the diamonds and gemstones he uses are responsibly sourced and free from any human rights abuses. He works with suppliers who adhere to strict ethical and environmental standards, and he only sources diamonds from countries that have implemented the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS) to prevent the trade in conflict diamonds.
Uniqueness
Finally, Nic understands the importance of uniqueness when it comes to selecting diamonds and gemstones. He believes that every piece of jewellery should be as unique as the person who wears it, and he sources stones that are truly one-of-a-kind. Whether it's a rare coloured diamond or a rare gemstone from a far-flung corner of the world, Nic's focus on uniqueness ensures that every piece he creates is truly special.
In order to source the highest quality diamonds and gemstones from around the world, Nic maintains close relationships with his suppliers and travels extensively to attend gemstone fairs and exhibitions.
By staying up-to-date on the latest trends and developments in the industry, he is able to offer his clients a truly unique selection of stones that can't be found anywhere else.
