Our Ethos
It takes at least 50 million years to form a diamond. If you were to carbon date any diamond, it would be at least 50 million years old. Most natural diamonds are over 1 billion years old.
Because of this mining for the popular gemstones is not sustainable. Lab created gemstones are reliant on fossil-based energy, by recreating a natural formation (which takes lots of heat over millions of years). On average a 1 carat lab grown diamond uses 750kw hours of electricity in manufacture – this would power the average UK household for 94 days*
Good jewellery should last forever. All gemstones will last forever.
Jewellery is a gift from Mother Nature, revered and worn by humans for millennia. We can guarantee that the most beautiful piece of jewellery and gemstone has already been created for you. You just have to find it
Our Values
Jewellery and gemstones are a gift from Mother Earth.
We do not sell new products.
We do not discriminate between ‘precious’ and ‘semi-precious’.
We will not discriminate by specifying gender for jewellery.
We do not discriminate by using animal products.
All our inks and glues are vegan.
We will not burden Mother Earth with our packaging. Our standard packaging is plastic free and recyclable. The wool padding is made from 100% post-consumer recyclate that biodegrades quickly.
We do not use solvents or chemicals when cleaning jewellery.
