Product
We firmly hold the belief that the essence of 'fine jewelry' transcends mere craftsmanship and aesthetics. Each aspect of our responsible supply chain is significant - from the ethically sourced precious materials we procure to the esteemed partners we collaborate with in order to breathe life into our exquisite creations of superior quality.
Manufacturing
We place a high priority on partnering with suppliers who hold independent certifications from reputable standard-setting bodies, with a focus on health and safety, human rights, fair labor practices, governance, and environmental protection. Our commitment to enhancing transparency within our trusted supplier networks underscores our dedication to sustaining a positive impact through the production of our exquisite jewelry pieces.
Recycled Gold & Silver
We steadfastly reject the use of 'dirty gold' due to its detrimental impacts, ranging from persistent labor injustices to the serious environmental consequences of mercury and other forms of degradation. Our commitment shines through as 96% of our gold and 97% of our silver are sourced from recycled materials, reflecting our genuine concern for the well-being of miners, their livelihoods, the communities they support, and the environmental sustainability of our practices.
We are dedicated to ensuring that all our gold, if not sourced from recycled materials, meets the Fairmined standard. Fairmined transforms gold with a positive impact by empowering small-scale miners and promoting responsible mining practices that mitigate environmental harm. Our goal is to achieve Fairmined certification by 2025.
Lab-grown diamonds
Not all lab-grown diamonds are equal; ours are ethically impeccable. They are certified as sustainable and ethical, with production that is 100% climate-neutral in reputable facilities. Each lab-grown diamond we offer proudly bears the SCS-007 Certificate of Sustainability from SCS Global Services, a pioneering multi-stakeholder sustainability standard specifically designed for the diamond industry. This certification guarantees that our supply chain adheres to stringent criteria concerning ethical practices and responsible manufacturing. Suppliers are required to showcase a dedication to sustainable processes, traceability of diamond origins, and initiatives that benefit communities and promote a safer world. The SCS-007 certification ensures that all individuals involved in the jewelry-making process are treated ethically and with accountability.
Sourcing
We adopt a comprehensive strategy in our sourcing of precious materials. Although recycled materials enhance circularity, they may pose traceability challenges. In addition to providing newly mined diamonds that meet the highest international standards, we now introduce SCS-007-certified lab-grown diamonds with a net-zero carbon footprint. This approach enables us to offer customers premium and ethical products across various price points.
Moreover, we have embarked on leveraging cutting-edge blockchain technology to address authentication and provenance challenges. As pioneers in the industry, we proudly introduce blockchain-enabled certificates, ensuring transparency regarding the origin and history of your jewelry. This groundbreaking approach not only authenticates your jewelry but also elevates its value. Each jewelry item is accompanied by a distinctive blockchain-enhanced ownership certificate, unlocking a realm of exclusive advantages and unforgettable experiences.
Planet
Our dedication lies in enriching the world with beauty, not depleting it. We strive to create a climate-positive footprint by integrating sustainability into every facet of our operations, starting from responsible materials sourcing to the core of our business practices.
Carbon-neautral lab-grown diamonds
This year marks the commencement of our initiative to expand our product range with new carbon-neutral precious materials. One significant development is the introduction of lab-grown diamonds crafted using 100% renewable energy in state-of-the-art laboratories. These diamonds are produced with advanced techniques that simulate natural diamond formation conditions, enabling us to offer premium quality products at diverse price points. Each of our lab-grown diamonds is accompanied by the SCS-007 Certificate of Sustainability from SCS Global Services, signifying their net zero carbon footprint. This strategic move aligns with our overarching objective to achieve climate positivity.
