Frequently asked questions
What types of jewelry does DITANI offer?
We specialize in fine jewelry crafted with high-quality diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires. Our collections include rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and more, ranging from classic designs to our own unique designs. We offer a wide range of custom jewelry for personalized creations.
Are your gemstones natural or lab-created?
All of our diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires are natural gemstones sourced from ethical suppliers. We do not use lab-created stones. Each gemstone is carefully selected for color, clarity, cut and carat weight.
How do you guarantee the quality of your gemstones?
Our gemstones undergo rigorous quality checks and are often certified by reputable organizations such as the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the Gemological Institute of International (IGI). We prioritize ethical provenance, ensuring that our diamonds are conflict-free and meet the requirements of the Kimberley Process.
What metals do you use in your jewelry?
We primarily use 18k gold (yellow, white or rose) and platinum for their durability and hypoallergenic properties. All metals are hallmarked for authenticity and we can fulfill individual requests for other alloys in custom jewelry.
Do you offer custom jewelry making?
Yes! Our custom-made service allows you to customize designs with your choice of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, metals and engravings. Whether it’s a unique engagement ring or a custom necklace, we will create the piece of jewelry you dream of.
How does the custom-made process work?
Get started by contacting our team via email, phone, or through our website form with your request. We will provide you with gemstone options and a quote. Once approved, production typically takes 4-9 weeks, depending on the complexity of the piece. You will receive information and updates throughout the process until your piece is finally made.
What are your prices?
Our prices reflect the quality of the gemstones, materials and workmanship, starting at 600 euros and increasing depending on the size of the gemstone, rarity and complexity of the design. Custom-made items are quoted individually. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
Do you provide certificates of authenticity?
Yes, each piece comes with a certificate detailing the gemstone specifications (carat, color, clarity) and metal purity. All of our colorless diamonds over 0.30 carats are also accompanied by lab reports from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the International Gemological Institute (IGI).
What kind of guarantee do you offer?
All of our jewelry comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. This covers repairs to loose inlays, broken clasps, and manufacturing defects. Normal wear and tear, stone loss, or damage from misuse are not covered by the warranty.
What is your return and exchange policy?
We offer a 14-day return policy for unworn, undamaged, in-stock jewelry that is in the “Ready to Ship” status. Custom-made jewelry is a final sale and cannot be exchanged or returned. Returns of jewelry in the “Ready to Ship” status must include original packaging and certificates. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.

What is the meaning of the name of DITANI?
To maintain their shine, clean your jewelry carefully with warm soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals and store your jewelry in DITANI boxes to prevent scratching. For emeralds and rubies, which are more delicate, professional cleaning is recommended every 6-12 months. Diamonds and sapphires are more durable, but they still need to be cared for.
We offer the “Lifetime Care” service, which includes a free professional cleaning of your DITANI jewelry once a year. The service is unlimited and is performed in person at our boutique at 18 Krichim St., Lozenets, Sofia.
