Burgundy Diamond Mines, owner of the Ekati diamond mine in Canada, has entered into a strategic partnership with André Messika Ltd. and Crossworks Manufacturing Ltd. to bring fancy yellow diamonds to the network of premier jewellery maisons.
Under the terms of the collaboration, Crossworks will be responsible for cutting and polishing a selection of fancy yellow rough diamonds produced at Ekati, while Messika will distribute the polished stones within the network of “the world’s most prestigious jewellery maisons.”
“We are delighted to join forces with Crossworks and Messika to manufacture and distribute our exclusive collection of fancy yellow diamonds. With Crossworks’ exceptional manufacturing capabilities and Messika’s esteemed position in the luxury jewellery market, we are confident these diamonds will reach their highest potential,” said Burgundy’s CEO Brad Baylis.
The company said the partnership is founded on a shared commitment to leadership in provenance, traceability, and product excellence, and each diamond will be tracked using Sarine’s Diamond Journey technology.
