ETHICAL GOLD
We prioritize fair-mined, mercury-free gold and also use recycled gold. Mercury, commonly used in artisanal mining, harms human health and contaminates land and oceans.
gems and diamonds
We use conflict-free and recycled diamonds and offer lab-grown alternatives. For colored gemstones, we work directly with miners to carefully vet vendors to ensure fair labor practices and environmental sustainability.
Artisans
We partner with organizations that celebrate skilled artisans and preserve the timeless art of jewelry-making.
Ethical Gold
While recycling reduces demand for new materials, it doesn’t address the challenges faced by mining communities. Since gold mining will continue, it’s crucial to support environmentally friendly practices that avoid harmful methods like mercury use.
We prioritize recycled gold and also fair mining practices, sourcing gold hand-panned by women in Borneo, Indonesia. This traditional method avoids environmental contamination and human harm while directly supporting responsible mining and uplifting local communities.
GEMSTONES PEARLS & DIAMONDS
For diamonds, we exclusively use conflict-free stones and prioritize recycled options whenever possible. We also offer lab-grown diamonds, which are identical in chemical composition to natural diamonds and are a carbon-neutral alternative.
For colored gemstones, we strive to work directly with miners to shorten the supply chain. While no universal standard for ethical gemstones exists, we thoroughly vet vendors to ensure they prioritize fair working conditions and environmental sustainability.
