About Fergus James
ABOUT FERGUS
With his father a geologist, Fergus gained a deep appreciation of the natural processes that combine to create beautiful diamonds and rare gemstones. With a vision to bring quality and ethical diamonds to customers across the world, Fergus established Fergus James, formerly known as Dubai Rocks.
“Over the last 10 years I’ve built an incredible team of highly skilled artisans that hand craft each ring, using traditional ring making techniques, to ensure that every ring is a ‘one off’ and as unique as the person for which it is intended.”
“Diamond curation is an art form – we select the best diamonds so that each and every customer is dazzled by the finished product – the care, attention and precision we give to every single diamond we select, and ring that we custom make, ensures that every ring is a unique one of a kind piece – like a real work of art.”
THE FERGUS JAMES PROCESS
Every product is made to order and totally customisable.
We source GIA & IGI certified diamonds on a live marketplace between our suppliers. This allows us to find the best value option for you... and as we don't hold any stock, I am totally unbiased and can give my honest opinion on stones (this is why our Google reviews are so good)... but in the end its all up to you!
Eventually after you have selected a diamond option, orders are secured with a 25% deposit and then 75% is due on collection or prior to shipping. Rings take around 10-14 days usually but can be done quicker if urgent... Deposit can be paid online or in our office.

The 1 carat diamond is an aspirational symbol of success and achievement.
1 Carat Shapes
Whilst 1 carat diamonds are all the same weight the visual appearance that different shapes have can be vary. For example a 1 carat oval shape that has been well cut will have a much larger spread when compared to a princess shape diamond with a thick girdle. If you’re looking for a 1 carat with maximum visual impact then a marquise shape could be the one for you.
How To Get Value
If you’re looking for a bit more value than buying a diamond just under the 1 carat mark offers a significant reduction in price but a very similar visual appearance. For example a well cut 0.9 carat round diamond is only 10% lighter than a 1 carat but costs around 30% less. This is primarily because 1 carat diamonds are in demand so expect to pay a premium for them.
Add a Halo
If you’re looking to maximise the visual impact of your 1 carat diamond then it may be worth considering a diamond halo ring style. The halo ring style can give a 1 carat diamond the appearance of a 2 carat, or even 3 carat diamond – so if you lady is a lover of bling then this diamond ring style could really work for you.
