Created Diamonds and Gemstones

(A Typical Gem Quality Kiln)

If you feel that the talismanic quality of converting coal to diamond under the earth is not important, consider industrially grown diamonds, marketed as "created diamonds". Like all industrial processes, created diamonds impact the environment to some degree, but they represent a good option for some people.

These days, it is possible to make diamonds industrially for rings or in long strips that can be used for industrial purposes in the tech world, or saw blades. Chemically, these diamonds are exactly of the same nature as natural diamonds. Like all industrial processes, created diamonds impact the environment to some degree, but they represent a good option for some people who are not concerned about the talismanic element of a diamond which is naturally converted from coal to one of the hardest substances on earth. You can contact us if you are interested in this option.

Diamonds are a commodity and our work is to use our purchasing power to benefit producer communities while minimizing environmental impact. In the quest for an ethical diamond, perfection should not be the enemy of the good. Canada's careful mining practices and the efforts in Namibia, represent some of the best of what the diamond sector has to offer.

Consider buying a diamond with the acknowledgement that everything in life has a cost. If you believe that our very living means we incur a debt to existence, perhaps what the diamond represents is a dedication to giving something back — a strong courageous love to our marriage that blossoms outward, giving us strength to be in service to the great mystery that connects us all.
