Many have been celebrating giving back to our planet since the beginning of April. As for us, Earth Day is our every day. We aim to make sustainability the standard throughout our entire process of handcrafting every piece with the finest materials as well as setting and finishing them in the US.
We are confident in saying that lab diamonds are better – better in the sense that they are created in a controlled environment where the ethical issues that are associated with mined diamonds simply don’t exist.
Here are a few ways our lab diamonds are more sustainable:
Conflict Free & Environmentally Friendly
From blood diamonds to the negative environmental impact, the shimmery gems that we associate with love and celebration can be quite taxing on our world.
According to the US Geological Survey, “The average stone in an engagement ring is the product of the removal of 200 to 400 million times its volume of Earth.” The electricity used to mine diamonds could power 1 million U.S. households for an entire year.
All our lab grown diamonds are free from environmental devastation and forced labor associated with earth mining, ocean dredging and habitat destruction. We are committed to reducing the impact of mining on the Earth.

Committed to Recycled Metals
Today, many of our pieces are made from recycled metal and have been certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council. Our goal is to increase the amount of recycled metals we use each and every day until we reach 100%.
