Responsible labour

Environmental care

Preference for lower-impact sources and recycled materials where possible.

Certification

Images represent examples of cut, colour and clarity; every stone is unique and will be assessed individually.

Supplier transparency

We attach supplier notes and any available lab reports to each purchase. For high-value stones we recommend formal lab certification.

Our long-term suppliers are required to provide third-party audit summaries or supplier self-assessments covering labour and environmental practices.

Any heat, clarity enhancement or treatments are disclosed prior to purchase so you can choose untreated or treated stones based on preference and budget.
