Our Stone Collection

Better for the environment, better for workers, and better value for you- all without sacrificing quality

The choices we make in jewelry are more than just about aesthetics—they’re about ethics and the planet’s future. Traditional mining practices for diamonds and gemstones can have significant environmental impacts, including deforestation, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. However, with the advent of carbon-neutral diamonds and created sapphires, we now have beautiful, responsible alternatives that help protect the environment.

Carbon Neutral Diamonds

Carbon neutral diamonds are laboratory-grown diamonds that are chemically and physically identical to mined diamonds but are produced with a minimal carbon footprint. These diamonds are crafted using renewable energy sources and innovative technologies that offset the carbon emissions generated during their creation. Our partner, Greenlab is a leader in the effort to create environmentally responsible diamonds.

Environmental Benefits:

  • Reduced Carbon Emissions: The production process for carbon-neutral diamonds is designed to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. By using renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, these diamonds contribute far less to global warming compared to traditionally mined diamonds.
  • Preservation of Ecosystems: Traditional diamond mining often leads to the destruction of ecosystems and biodiversity loss. By choosing carbon-neutral diamonds, you help reduce the demand for mining, thereby preserving natural habitats for people and animals
  • Lower Water Usage: Mining operations require vast amounts of water, leading to water scarcity in some regions. Carbon-neutral diamonds are created in a controlled environment that uses significantly less water, conserving this vital resource.

Created Sapphires

Created sapphires, also known as lab-grown sapphires, are gemstones produced in a laboratory setting using the same elements and conditions that occur in nature. These sapphires are not only indistinguishable from their mined counterparts but are also a more sustainable choice.

Environmental Benefits:

  • No Mining Required: Created sapphires eliminate the need for destructive mining practices. This means no deforestation, no soil erosion, and no disruption of local ecosystems, making them a much more eco-friendly option.
  • Energy Efficiency: The process of creating sapphires in a lab is more energy-efficient than traditional mining. Advances in technology have reduced the energy consumption associated with lab-grown gemstones, further reducing their environmental impact.
  • Ethical Production: Unlike some mined sapphires, which can be associated with unethical labor practices, created sapphires are produced under controlled, ethical conditions, ensuring fair labor standards and supporting worker welfare.

Making a Responsible Choice

When you choose carbon-neutral diamonds and create sapphires, you’re making a conscious decision to support sustainable practices and reduce your environmental footprint. These gems not only offer the same brilliance and beauty as their mined counterparts but also carry the assurance of being an eco-friendly choice.

Explore our collection of carbon neutral diamonds and created sapphires and join us in the journey towards a more sustainable future. Whether you’re selecting an engagement ring, a pendant, or a pair of earrings, you can feel confident that your choice is helping to protect our planet now, and for future generations.
