Did you know that 250 tons of ore is mined for each carat of diamond?
After it has been mined, the diamond are sold to the site holder, who in turn sells it to the wholesaler.
Diamonds are then cut and sold to the store who sells it to the consumer.
Diamonds can change hands more then 6 times before reaching the end-consumer.
We firmly believe in the moral, ethical, and environmental benefits of re-cutting diamonds.
To us, there is simply no better way to create a sustainable, intelligent ecosystem of supply within the jewelry industry.
