The first, the original; Lazare Kaplan International Inc. is the premier manufacturer and marketer of ideal cut Lazare Diamonds®. Founded in 1903 by Belgian master cutter, Lazare Kaplan, the family-owned company has etched its name in the jewelry industry as the purveyor of the most exclusive diamonds on earth. Each Lazare diamond is produced under the demanding Ideal Cut, which adheres to the strictest proportions, and is cut for beauty, not weight. Because more of the original rough diamond must be sacrificed to achieve an ideal cut, only a small percentage of diamonds are cut this way. When looking for elegant and sophisticated diamond jewelry, from diamond studs to diamond collars, trust Lazare Kaplan to make the old new again with subtle updates on classic styles.
In 1919, Lazare Kaplan’s cousin, mathematician Marcel Tolkowsky, first published the mathematical formula for diamonds cut to "ideal" proportions, a formula designed to optimise the brilliance, fire and sparkle in a polished diamond. In the same year, LKI became the first commercial-scale operation to cut its diamonds to ideal proportions. In 1983 it developed and patented the laser inscription process.
