The only diamonds in the world made entirely from carbon pollution by process of CVD, Chemical Vapor Deposition. The process takes a carbon seed and places it in a chamber the size of an office desk to grow a single diamond layer by layer. A cleaner process than HPHT, Aether diamonds are the only lab diamonds that use only pollution derived carbon entirely eliminating the need for mining. Besides being carbon-negative, each carat positively impacts our earth by saving 143 lbs of emissions, 127 gallons of fresh water, and 250 tons of earth, the average natural resource cost of a traditional earth mined diamond. Aether lab diamonds are Certified B corp and are available for any design that uses .25 Cts and over. Learn more here.

The world's first 100% climate neutral lab diamond. Our IIA type lab diamonds are exceptionally made in the highest purity by process of CVD, Chemical Vapor Deposition. The process takes a carbon seed and places it in a chamber the size of an office desk to grow a single diamond layer by layer. A cleaner process than HPHT, the carbon seeds still do require mining. These lab diamonds are third party audited by SCS Global Services on a rigorous set of criteria that covers traceable verified origin, ethical stewardship, and carbon emissions. These diamonds are more responsible than the traditional lab diamonds which have been criticized for excessive energy usage. However, earth diamonds still requires significantly more resources.

For all our melee sized diamonds, .25 Cts and under, we use HPHT created lab diamonds. These diamonds are made using mined carbon under tremendous pressure using large machines. Traditional lab diamonds have been criticized for energy usage, but when compared to earth mined diamonds they still come out on top with far less water usage, less destruction of habitats, conflict-free, and emmiting less carbon emissions. The current issue with melee sized lab diamonds is that the low market price does not make it economical to produce with the cleaner more sophisticated production methods. We are still on the hunt for a cleaner melee lab diamond and have been putting the pressure on our suppliers to bring one to market.

Our Salt & Pepper diamonds come from small scale artisanal mines that use low-impact mining equipment. These mines are small businesses rather than giant corporations, and are most often family owned and operated making them informally traceable and low environmental impact. There is currently not a 3rd party certification system for Salt and Pepper diamonds. Diamonds are actually very common found all over the word and salt and pepper diamonds have historically been discarded by large mining coporations. In the past 15 years they have seen a growth in popularity by alternative jewelry designers opening up a market opportunity for small business owners. Ours are mined in Africa and are traded directly with the cutting and end sales facility in India. Our salt and pepper diamonds are available for any size style and can also be custom cut in any shape like kite and rose cut.

Our Recycled SI+ J+ earth mined diamonds come from reputable diamond trading companies that aquire their diamonds from dead stock, and trade ins of pre-used jewelry. These diamonds are verified earth mined but cannot be guarenteed conflict-free as they may have been mined 5 years ago or 100 years ago. The recycled terminology might lend these diamonds an elevated perception of benefits but the truth is they do not eradicate or decrease the current day mining for diamonds. Our recycled diamonds are available to choose for any design, of any size. Recycled diamonds should be viewed as a neutral option for diamond jewelry and have the benefits of higher resale value because of their natural geological creation story.

Our Sapphires come from small scale artisanal mines that use low-impact mining equipment. These mines are small businesses rather than giant corporations, and are most often family owned and operated making them fully traceable and low environmental impact. There is currently not a 3rd party certification system for Sapphires but we guarantee that for our Australian and Montana Sapphires we buy direct from miner and cutter making them a beautiful low impact option for fine jewelry.
