Taché was built on our love of diamonds, a love we’ve been pursuing since 1957. We’re headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium, but our passion for these captivating gems takes us all over the world. More than 1500 people, from polishers to traders, from researchers to engineers, make up our group, and despite our varied roles, we all work under the spell that diamonds cast.
The Taché Story
For the love of diamonds
The Company
As an industry leader, we deal with diamonds from rough sourcing all the way through to finish. Over the years, we’ve developed a reputation for meticulous quality control and a reliability of supply that is rock solid. In addition to the diamonds themselves, we also offer our customers services like rough diamond production financing, globe-spanning distribution and insightful market consultancy.
We’re proud to be one of De Beer’s oldest sightholders. Our commitment and passion has made us the preferred partner for many other well-known names as well.

Strategy
Befitting a stone formed over millennia, we take a long-term approach to growth.
At Taché, we don’t seek growth for its own sake. To us, if bigger doesn’t enable better, it’s simply not worth pursuing.
So we intend to grow in two main ways: a) by acquiring companies that will provide us with a competitive edge and enable us to grow and evolve our position in the marketplace;
And b) by providing innovative services that our clients desire – or don’t yet know of their existence in the marketplace.
Pushing boundaries is in our DNA.

Corporate Governance
Integrity is earned. We intend to continue earning it.
We are proud of the reputation that we have built over the last 50 years.
We guarantee that all of our diamonds are ethically sourced, contain no synthetics, and are responsibly manufactured in and from conflict-free countries.

Kimberley Process (KP)
At Taché, we strictly adhere to the principles of the Kimberley Process. We guarantee our customers that all of our diamonds, whether rough or polished diamonds, are sourced from conflict-free areas. The Kimberly Process is an agreement between 52 governments that controls the shipment of rough diamonds between countries. Under the KP, each shipment of rough diamonds that crosses an international border must be in a tamper-proof container and accompanied by a government issued certificate (the Kimberly Certificate) that confirms that the diamonds are from conflict-free sources. Rough diamonds can only be shipped between KP participating countries and no uncertified rough is permitted to enter a participant’s country.

Best Practice Principles (BPP)
The BPP is an independently audited (SGS) set of ethical policies introduced by De Beers. It lays out an ethical framework for the De Beers Group and its sight holders. The BPP covers a range of corporate and social responsibility issues, including the welfare of employees, business and financial reputation and consumer confidence. As a De Beers sight holder, Taché strictly adheres to the De Beers Best Practice Principles in both the diamond and jewellery industry. Complying with all international laws and agreements, such as the Kimberley Process, are fundamental to this process.
