The cut, colour, clarity and carat can tell you a great deal about a diamond. What they do not fully explain is why one solitaire can feel dramatically more beautiful than another.
The answer lies in light performance. The brilliance that catches your eye.
The fire that reveals flashes of spectral colour. The scintillation that creates movement, contrast and life.
These qualities are not fully described by a certificate. They are the result of how a diamond interacts with light. This is the foundation of Light Science™.
Precision
Solitaires
Every innovation begins with a question.
Could 161 facets create a different experience of light? Could an elongated emerald reveal more brilliance without losing its elegance? Could inspiration come from a flower, from sacred geometry, or from the pursuit of extraordinary brilliance, fire and scintillation?
At Aukera, Light Science™ is not only used to refine diamonds. It is used to rethink them. The result is a collection of signature solitaires found nowhere else.
exceptional?
They are lab grown diamonds that were developed by Aukera rather than selected from existing industry standards. Each solitaire represents a different idea. Greater brilliance, a new shape or a different approach to diamond cutting.

The 161-facet Signature Diamond, the Aukera Orchid™, the E3™, Extra Brilliant™, Hearts & Arrows™, Champagne Diamonds™, Ashtalakshmi Solitaire™ and Exotic Diamonds™.
No. Aukera’s signature lab grown diamond jewellery collections are only available at Aukera stores.
Yes. Every Aukera Signature Solitaire is independently certified. Alongside IGI certification, select solitaires are also evaluated through GemEx or GCAL, reflecting Aukera's focus on light performance and optical precision.
Before a diamond can be exceptional, it must be exceptional by the fundamentals.
IGI independently evaluates a diamond's cut, colour, clarity and carat — the standards that continue to define diamond quality around the world.
Because light performance sits at the heart of Aukera Light Science™.
GemEx was created to study something traditional grading reports largely leave untouched: light performance.
Its BrillianceScope® technology helped bring light performance into the diamond conversation, giving the industry a way to measure brilliance, fire and scintillation more objectively.
Long before light performance became part of the consumer conversation, GemEx was developing technology to measure it. Today, its BrillianceScope® system remains one of the best-known tools for evaluating brilliance, fire and scintillation.
GCAL looks beyond traditional grading to examine how precisely a diamond has been crafted. Its evaluation includes factors such as optical precision, symmetry and visible performance, offering a deeper understanding of the finished diamond.
When a solitaire is designed around Light Science™, precision matters. GCAL helps validate that precision through one of the industry's most detailed approaches to diamond evaluation.
The E3 Diamond™ is Aukera's interpretation of the elongated emerald cut.
The shape feels familiar at first. Then the light catches it differently. That's where the E3 begins to separate itself from a traditional emerald cut.
Some people love the clean lines of an emerald cut but wish it reflected a little more light.
The E3 was developed as Aukera's answer to that.
Extra Brilliant™ was designed around a simple idea: if more light enters the diamond, more light can return from it.
Both the faceting and the floral basket setting play a role in making that happen.
See the diamond one way and you'll see hearts.
Turn it around and you'll see arrows.
Those patterns are created by exceptional symmetry and precision during cutting.
The colour is surprisingly specific. Move too far in one direction and it becomes yellow. Too far in another and it loses what makes a Champagne Diamond™ recognisable.
It’s a rare octagonal solitaire that draws inspiration from the eight forms of Lakshmi.
The shape carries the symbolism. The cutting is designed to carry the light.
The eight sides are intentional.
They reference the eight forms of Lakshmi that inspired the design.
Aukera's Exotic Diamonds™ explore shapes that most people rarely encounter in traditional jewellery.
Hearts. Hexagons. Kites. Flames. Imperial Emeralds and more.
Usually because they aren't looking for the expected answer.
Sometimes the right diamond isn't round. It might be a hexagon, a kite or a shape they didn't know existed until that moment.
