The company primarily offers diamond jewellery.[11][12][13][14] It operates online as an e-commerce store and has physical showrooms in London, Manchester, Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Zurich, Geneva, Milan, Stockholm and Dubai.[15][16][17][18]

In 2009, 77 Diamonds opened its first physical showroom in London's Mayfair district.[19][20][21][22][23]
