About our Founder
When my now husband and I set out to look for ethical engagement rings, we weren’t able to find a jeweler who could tell us exactly where our diamond was coming from. With limited options, we ended up overpaying for rings from a popular “ethical” jewelry brand which in hindsight were poor quality, mass produced stock settings.
That frustrating buying experience really is what pushed me to look for a different way to do bridal jewelry. I wanted to create custom rings, that didn’t exploit other human beings or cost as much as a car. This trifecta wasn’t just a unicorn in the fine jewelry world; it merely didn’t exist.
I spent over 7 years sourcing gemstones from all over the world, looking for the most premium quality suppliers and gaining a deep knowledge of the industry and the gemstones that are the heartbeat of it all.
As a mother of two little boys, I felt a deep desire to help the children afflicted by diamond mining practices and make this pursuit bigger than just myself and my family. I wanted to make sure the jewelry I created was a source of good in this world.
Lab grown gemstones are the future of fine jewelry and we’re proud to be able to state our jewelry’s origin in something as bold as our brand’s name.
