The founder likens people to raw diamonds and sees the beauty in the raw diamonds that are waiting to be turned into beautiful pieces of jewellery that shines. So she created TWOMORROW to challenge conventional beauty norms with a curated selection of unconventional diamonds, especially Salt and Pepper diamonds, known for their unique inclusions and character. Each stone is meticulously certified by leading institutes like the Gemological Institute of America or the Nan Yang Gemological Institute, ensuring ethical sourcing and compliance with the Kimberley Process.
