We’re smitten with these ethical diamond companies!
POV: you’ve found the love of your life and now you’re shopping for engagement rings. You want to find the perfect diamond ring that’s true to your significant other but also kind to the environment and human kind. First of all, we’re sending a huge “congrats” your way! But that’s not all, we’re hoping to provide a touch of clarity on some ethical and conflict-free options. Unfortunately, there is an unsavory side when it comes to the production of traditional, mined diamonds. These production practices can be both destructive to the environment and unsafe for the workers.
Technology has given diamond creation an ethical remix. Introducing lab-grown diamonds. These sustainable options are man-made in a laboratory setting. This allows for less environmental burden and promotes healthy and ethical working conditions. Just like in your relationship, communication and transparency are beautiful things. We also like to see this when we’re shopping for a diamond. So, if you’re ready to purchase a sparkling symbol of your love, check out these sustainable engagement ring brands.
