All of our stones are conflict-free, from sources that adhere to the Kimberley Process or from Canadian mines. When we wear recycled materials we honor our own power to adapt, reinvent and flourish. It also reduces our carbon footprint. And by using gems sourced from Canadian mines and Kimberly-certified distributors, we support an honest day’s work.We also use lab-created stones for some of our colored gemstones to further reduce the impact of mining rare natural gems out of the ground. They are visually and chemically the exactly the same as mined stones, but do not contribute to the land destruction and resource depletion in the way that naturally-mined stones do. We offer our custom bridal clients the option to choose lab-created diamonds, which also are exactly the same as natural diamonds, except they don’t require the environmental damage incurred in mining.
