We are committed to going above and beyond industry standards to bring you the most environmentally responsible natural and lab grown diamonds. Since 2012, we’ve continued to grow our lab grown diamond assortment to ensure customers don’t have to decide between quality and conscience. This year, we’re taking a revolutionary leap forward with two new collections featuring the most ethical, planet first lab grown diamonds in the world.
2022: Responsibly Manufactured Lab Diamonds
The Responsible Jewelry Council certifies natural diamond manufacturers for safe and healthy working conditions — but there is not an established standard for lab diamonds. For years, we have been pushing the industry to include lab diamond manufacturers in their standards to no avail. So, in 2021, we created our own process and began evaluating working conditions at lab diamond manufacturers. At the end of 2022, 92% of our lab diamond manufacturers were audited for safe and healthy working conditions. This year, we aim to reach 100%.
2023: 100% Renewable Energy Lab Diamonds
We are proud that lab diamonds are cut and polished with sustainable production practices, but we didn’t stop there, and pushed to take sustainable production a step further. Since the growing portion of the lab diamond process uses the most energy, we’re introducing a new collection to the market that uses 100% wind and solar energy in every step of lab diamond creation. From growing, to cutting, and finally polishing, lab diamonds from the 100% Renewable Collection use exclusively renewable energy.
2023: Carbon Capture Lab Diamonds
A new era has arrived: we’re launching the world’s largest collection of captured-carbon lab diamonds with The Capture Collection. This groundbreaking approach takes sustainability to new heights by capturing CO2 emissions before they are released into the atmosphere and purifying the CO2 that is used to grow the diamond crystals in a chemical reactor. Once the rough diamond is fully grown, we cut and polish each diamond with 100% renewable energy. With The Capture Collection, we’re creating the most innovative lab grown diamonds on the planet.
