Our Identity
Expertise, Integrity, And Collaborative Design
At Biggar Diamonds, our identity is rooted in technical expertise, ethical sourcing, and meaningful collaboration. Located in Abbotsford, BC, our private studio is led by Alison Biggar, a GIA-trained gemologist with more than twenty years of experience in fine jewellery and professional appraisals. We operate by appointment to ensure each client receives dedicated time, privacy, and expert guidance throughout the process. Rather than a traditional retail environment, our studio follows a consultancy approach centred on education and trust. Whether you are creating a custom engagement ring, redesigning inherited jewellery, or seeking a certified appraisal, every conversation is guided by transparency, craftsmanship, and a commitment to helping you create jewellery that reflects your personal story.
Our Approach
Transforming Personal Stories Into Heirloom Jewellery
At Biggar Diamonds, every piece begins with a story. Our collaborative “Design Together With Us” approach invites clients from Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, and across the Fraser Valley to help shape jewellery that reflects life’s most meaningful milestones. From custom engagement rings to heirloom redesign and professional appraisals, each project is guided by expert gemological knowledge and careful craftsmanship. Through global sourcing partnerships, we offer access to natural and lab-grown diamonds while maintaining strict ethical standards. Alison personally reviews every stone and design to ensure exceptional quality. Throughout the process, we provide clear guidance on diamond selection, the four Cs, and market-based pricing, empowering clients to make informed decisions with confidence and clarity.
