                                        To us, what makes a Sapphire “Ethical” comes down to a few things. One of these is labor conditions at the mine. This includes paying a fair wage, and ensuring safe working conditions. Another is environmental impact. A beautiful engagement ring shouldn’t require environmental degradation. And a third is cutting conditions. Again, this means fair wages and safe conditions.

                                        In the ideal world, we would source diamonds from a small-scale mining community, one that would build a vibrant local economy in a community. If that community also cut the diamonds, creating more local downstream business, people of the land would be able to fully benefit from the resources of their land.

                                        Now, I’m going to be a bit controversial here because leading brands in the US market push recycled gold as the choice for those conscious consumers concerned about the environment. And here’s why.
