We only work with designers who are conscientious of more than just diamond sourcing (please ask us more), but also about the impact on the environment and on the families they are supporting. Our designers use ethically sourced stones, many times even recycled diamonds and almost all of them use recycled gold. The rings are made by them, by their hands, in their studios, with people they know + trust. It is easy to feel good about a ring purchased from them because you know it’s supporting their family, their passion, and the smaller end of a very large, often mass-produced overseas industry. We also believe in female owned companies as nearly all our bridal is made by the hands of a woman.
