History of the business
Maison A. Vernain SA was founded by our grand-father Honoré in 1900 and entered in the Geneva's commercial registry in 1903. Our grandfather, who was destined for a career as a notary public clerk but was not attracted to it, decided to learn the trade of diamond-cutter in a diamond-cutting workshop. He then founded his own diamond-cutting factory in 1900 near the Geneva's train station in the district of Montbrillant.

How to choose your diamond
The price of a diamond is based on the 4C's rule. Carat for the weight, Cut for the cut finish, polish and symmetry, Color for the hue in diamonds & Clarity for the level of inclusion.
The heavier, colourless, pure and well-cut a diamond is, the higher its price will be.
