OUR MATERIALS
Ancient Alchemy
To work with nature’s most precious materials, formed over eons deep within the earth, is—put simply—an honor. We believe that each stone shines with its own light, whether it is a flawless white diamond or a hazy azure sapphire, rich with inclusions. Where some might see imperfection, we see unique beauty, which is why our collections include an array of precious and semi-precious gemstones and colored diamonds, from white, champagne and yellow, to grey and black.

OUR SOURCING
We source only recycled gold and conflict-free stones, in compliance with the Kimberley process. We also work with lab grown stones and offer the option of antique diamonds and single origin gems where minimum impact is a consideration.
SMALL VICTORIES
One effort that sets us apart in the jewelry industry, is that our melée (those tiny diamonds that glitter in a halo or along the band) is always reclaimed instead of newly mined, with the exception of black diamond, as these are all new to market. This little bit goes a very long way, as only 20% of all mined diamonds are gem quality.

OUR IMPACT
Disturbance of precious earth, water and soil contamination, and decreased biodiversity are just some of the effects of mining, so we consider our reclaimed and recycled material initiatives an important—and imperative—choice for our jewelry.
DIAMOND MELÉE INITIATIVE
Our reclaimed diamond melée initiative weighs in at roughly 200 carats per year. Since the mining of one total carat of even these tiny diamonds requires the movement of approximately 250 tons of sediment, this project alone saves on the disturbance of over 400,000 tons of earth annually.
RECYCLED GOLD INITIATIVE
Additionally, our exclusive use of recycled gold—totaling around 6,220 grams each year—means we have not contributed to the movement of roughly 6,165 tons of sediment.
