We exclusively use lab-grown diamonds and gemstones so that no further mining of the Earth needs to occur to create our jewellery.
Lab-grown diamonds and gemstones are created in rough crystal form by scientists, instead of forming over millions of years in the Earth’s mantle.
They are visually and chemically identical to mined diamonds and gemstones but come without the environmental destruction and ethical concerns.
Our gold and platinum designs have 100% recycled content. This means that the precious metal used in your jewellery had a former life and then has been melted down, to be reused by us, rather than further mining occurring.
