According to Boyet Diamond, it has shattered the diamond industry's traditional monopoly marketing model, significantly reducing the exploitation of profits at all levels of the supply chain, and sharing these profits with all customers.

Affected by COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Boyet Diamond has accelerated its move into the Asia Pacific region by integrating all the Group's resources within China to establish a jewellery processing factory in Guangzhou.
The company has also brought together a team of top jewellery artisans from around the Asia Pacific to provide direct services to customers in the region.
