I’m so happy to be able to highlight them in our blog – for our customers get to know them, their sourcing practices, their philosophies, and their backgrounds. We’ll always be completely transparent (which I know is rare in jewelry). So many brands and retailers make claims like ‘ethically sourced’ or ‘sustainably sourced’ but when you really dig in, you learn those labels are usually just claims.
I want our customers to have all the information so they can make informed decisions that feel aligned for them. I want them to know what’s available to them and truly understand all their options – post-consumer diamonds, recycled gold, mine-to-market colored gemstones, salt & pepper diamonds, antique diamonds, plus all the conventional options out there.
Visit our blog for more on our Gem Dealers: Jared Holstein who supplies our post-consumer recycled diamonds, Johannes Orstadius , our spinel and colored gemstone supplier, and Ashkan Asgari , our favorite alternative diamond dealer.
What are you most grateful for as brand owner in the past year?
I’m grateful for all our customers. I’ve connected so much with people online during this pandemic – it’s been really cool. And I’m thankful that I’ve still been able to be a part of people’s big life moments and exciting self-splurges even without a physical showroom.
It’s been a tumultuous year but it’s great to see people still getting engaged, still treating themselves, and continuing on with their lives. These moments are a real light in the dark.
