About Us
VYKA Diamonds was built around a frustration most diamond buyers never articulate but almost all feel: the sense that the price you are quoted in a showroom has very little to do with what the stone is actually worth. That the markup exists to pay for the marble floors and the velvet trays, not for the quality of the diamond sitting inside them. We started VYKA because we believed buyers in the UAE and across the GCC deserved better than that — direct access to certified stones at honest prices, with the kind of straightforward guidance that helps you make a confident decision rather than a pressured one.
Who We Are
We are a Dubai-based fine jewellery business operating on a direct, remote-first model. No showroom. No retail overhead passed on to you. We source certified diamonds — GIA certified natural diamonds and IGI certified lab grown diamonds — and work with each client to design and produce jewellery that is built specifically for them. Every piece is made to order. Nothing is pulled from a display case.
Our clients are mostly people buying an engagement ring for the first time who want to understand what they are purchasing rather than take a salesperson's word for it. They want to see the certificate, verify it independently, understand why one stone costs more than another, and make a decision they feel genuinely good about. That is exactly the experience we are set up to deliver.
The Story Behind VYKA
Before there was a business, there was a ring.
When our founder got engaged, he did what most people do — visited a few jewellery stores, looked at what was on offer, and came away with an uncomfortable feeling that he had no real idea what anything was actually worth. Prices varied significantly between stores for stones that appeared similar. Salespeople spoke in terms he did not fully understand. Every showroom had a different answer to the same question. The experience felt less like buying something meaningful and more like negotiating with incomplete information under quiet pressure.
His partner had a clear sense of what she wanted. A simple, well-made ring with a properly cut stone — not excessive, just right. It did not seem like a complicated ask. But the retail prices for even modest certified diamonds were difficult to justify, and once he started looking into how diamond pricing actually worked, the markup became impossible to ignore.
So he went looking for another way. He spent weeks working through the diamond supply chain — how stones move from rough to polished, where the margins sit, and whether it was possible to source a certified diamond closer to the trade without giving anything up on quality. He spoke to cutters and dealers, asked the questions most buyers never think to ask, and eventually found a route to a GIA certified stone at a price that reflected what it genuinely was — not what a showroom needed to charge to cover its overheads.
The ring he made her was exactly what she had imagined. The process of making it left him with something he could not set aside: the realisation that most people buying diamond jewellery pay a significant premium for the retail environment rather than for the diamond itself, and that there was no good reason why direct access to certified stones at honest prices should be limited to people in the trade.
VYKA was built from that experience. What began as one person navigating an opaque market for his own engagement became a business designed to give every buyer the same access — the same certified stones, the same direct pricing, and the same straightforward guidance he wished he had had from the start.
Our Diamonds
We specialise in two categories: GIA certified natural diamonds and IGI certified lab grown diamonds. Both are real diamonds. Both are independently graded. The difference is origin and price, and we are honest about the trade-offs of each.
Natural diamonds carry GIA certification — the most rigorous and widely respected grading standard in the world. Lab grown diamonds carry IGI certification, which is the global standard for lab grown stones. Every certificate is independently verifiable on the issuing laboratory's public database, and every stone carries a laser-inscribed report number on the girdle that matches the certificate. We do not sell uncertified stones, and we do not use in-house grading descriptions in place of independent verification.
We source to each client's brief rather than holding large standing inventory — we present a shortlist of certified stones matched to your specifications, your budget, and your priorities. You review them with full certification details and video before selecting anything.
What We Make
Our range covers engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond earrings, pendants, necklaces, and bracelets. Settings are available in 18k white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, and platinum across every major style — solitaire, hidden halo, pavé, three-stone, bezel, and east-west. For briefs that go beyond the standard options, our custom design service handles fully bespoke commissions from concept through to finished piece.
The ring studio lets you begin pairing a stone with a setting before any conversation is needed. For clients who prefer to start with a call, we are available via WhatsApp, video call, or email.
How We Work
We start with a consultation — understanding what you are looking for, what matters most, and what budget you are working with. We then put together a shortlist of certified stones matched to your brief, with full grading details and video. Once a stone is selected, we develop the setting design and share CAD renders for your approval before production begins. The finished piece is delivered to your door with full certification, secure packaging, and our 21-day inspection guarantee.
We deliver across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and the wider UAE. For clients in Saudi Arabia, we regularly deliver to Riyadh, Jeddah, and across the Kingdom, with all customs documentation handled on your behalf.
Our Guarantees
Every purchase is backed by a 21-day inspection guarantee. If the piece does not meet your expectations on delivery, you can return it within 21 days for a full resolution. We also offer a price match guarantee: find a certified diamond of equivalent quality at a lower price from a reputable seller and we will match or beat it. These are not small-print policies — they are how we operate.
