4 generations

The Scheldeman family has shared its passion for jewellery and precious stones since 1932. In 1956 my father Germain decided to go his own way, and so begins the Scaldis story. Together with his wife Beatrice he opened a shop in Kortrijk. On the basis of commitment and passion, Scaldis has grown to become a renowned name in Kortrijk and throughout the wider region. I took over the leadership of Scaldis in 1999, and my wife Christel and I have continued according to the values that my parents held so dear: outstanding quality and personal service.

We are incredibly proud that our daughters Charlotte and Josephine have recently joined us at Scaldis. The fourth generation to contribute enthusiastically to the family business.

Expertise

Diamonds are our greatest passion. For your precious stone jewellery, we will seek out the best quality stone to match your budget. With years of extensive knowledge handed down from father to son, Scaldis is truly the home of professional diamond experts. Charlotte has now also completed a range of training programmes, including Diamond Grading at the Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) and at HRD Antwerp and Basic Gemmology at HRD Antwerp (Hoge Raad voor Diamant).

Certificats

Whenever you purchase a diamond larger than 0.30ct, we provide a certificate issued by the prestigious HRD or GIA institute as an extra service. This objective report confirms the authenticity and quality of your diamond and details its main attributes based on the four Cs.

Ethical considerations and sustainability

Kimberley process

The Kimberly Process protocol is intended to make the trade in raw diamonds as transparent as possible. At Scaldis, we guarantee customers that all of the precious stones we sell are acquired from legitimate suppliers who source stones in conflict-free zones and in full compliance with UN resolutions.

Natural diamonds

We are adamant about using exclusively natural diamonds in our collections. A natural diamond is a thing of wonder produced by the earth. Each authentic and unique and will retain its value over time.

Sustainability

Every piece of jewellery that Scaldis sells is created with sustainability in mind. We use fair-cycle gold in some of our collections. Moreover, the regulations and technical advances that apply in the diamond mining industry today have helped to reduce the impact on the environment to a minimum.
