Our Story/ Responsible Sourcing

Responsible Sourcing

Few of the world's diamonds meet Engagement Rings's standards for ethical sourcing and exceptional quality.

Mining Practise and Standard
Beyound Conflict Free Conflict Free
does not finance rebel movements
protects against human rights abuses
minimizes environmental degradation
maintains safe responsible labor practices
supports community development
Beyound Conflict Fre TMDiamonds

Engagement Rings goes above and beyond the current industry standards to offer Beyond Conflict Free TM Diamonds that have been selected for their ethical and environmentally responsible origins. Jewelers that offer “conflict free” diamonds are limiting themselves to the Kimberley Process’ definition, which narrowly defines conflict diamonds as rough diamonds used to finance wars against governments.

Our suppliers demonstrate a robust chain of custody protocol for their diamonds and have the ability to track and segregate diamonds by origin. These suppliers are required to source diamonds that originate from specific mine operators who follow internationally recognized labor, trade, and environmental standards. We are a Certified member of the Responsible Jewelry Council, the leading ethical standard within the jewelry industry.

Recycled Precious Metals

As part of our commitment to environmental responsibility, our gold jewelry is crafted from primarily recycled precious materials. Because our recycled metals are refined back into their pure elements, they are of the same high quality as newly mined metals. Current disruptions in the supply chain at this time may affect the availability of recycled precious metal. Engagement Rings remains committed to sourcing recycled materials when possible.

Dirty gold mining has a history of civil war, labor abuses, and environmental devastation. Our objective is to diminish the negative impacts of dirty gold by reducing the demand for newly mined metals.

Lab Created Diamonds

Lab created diamonds are grown in highly controlled laboratory environments using advanced technological processes that duplicate the conditions under which diamonds naturally develop. Lab created diamonds display the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, and exhibit the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle. Lab created diamonds offer excellent value and provide a mining-free alternative to naturally sourced

Recycled Diamonds

Recycled diamonds are a responsible choice. These diamonds have been mined, cut, and polished, were previously purchased, and are now being made available again. Because they are repurposed after a prior purchase, these diamonds require no new mining. This reduces the demand for new diamond mining and avoids perpetuating ongoing abuses. Our recycled diamonds have been graded by an independent gemological lab, so can be compared to newly mined diamonds for their quality characteristics.

CarbonFree ® Commitment

As part our commitment to sustainability, we're proud to announce that we are now Carbon free®. After calculating our carbon footprint, we partnered with Carbonfund.org to offset our carbon emissions by contributing to Tropical Rainforest Conservation in Brazil.

The Tropical Rainforest Conservation project focuses on protecting 750,000 acres of tropical rainforest in Brazil, helping to reduce global carbon emissions, conserve the habitat for many threatened and endangered species of plants and animals, and improve the local water quality. We will continue identifying ways to reduce our footprint and offsetting emissions that we cannot eliminate.

Colored Gemstones

Colored gemstones are a vibrant and distinctive choice, and have been sought after for centuries. We strive to offer gemstones sourced in alignment with safe working conditions and environmentally responsible principles. Many obstacles still exist in obtaining information about gemstone mining conditions around the world which makes it challenging to trace some gemstone origins and track the conditions under which they were mined.

By continually working with our colored gemstone suppliers to improve standards and traceability, we strive to promote higher standards for gemstone sourcing to transform dangerous mining conditions and encourage responsible practices. For instance, many of our sapphires originate from Sri Lanka, where miners employ techniques that minimize impact to the environment and operate in small cooperatives that share the costs, labor, and profits from the sale of gemstones.

Gemstone Origin Highlight

Australia

Sapphire

Highlight: Australia's internationally recognized policies provide more protections to the well-being of mine employees by promoting health and safety in the workplace and providing competitive wages and benefits. Australia protects their nation's ecosystems by following environmental regulations that include land restoration and minimize impact on water quality. Mining companies must pay a fee that is returned after mining is complete when the land meets or exceeds its original condition.

Malawi

Sapphire

Highlight: The Chimwadzulu Hill Mine in Malawi aims to formalize procedures based on fair trade principles to safeguard workers and the environment. Small scale sapphire mining is only permissible for a part of the year in order to protect local wildlife habitats, streams, watersheds, and groundwater. The mine helps support its seventy workers by offering above-average wages and health care, rebuilding a local medical clinic, and establishing an elementary school. The mine is also a contributor to the local economy and an example of fair trade principles in action.

Sea Of Cortez

Pearls

Highlight: These rare black cultured pearls are cultivated within a peaceful bay alongside the Baja peninsula known as the Sea of Cortez. After nearly being harvested to the point of extinction in the 1930s, Sea of Cortez cultured pearls have slowly begun to resurface. The Sea of Cortez farm is founded, owned, and operated by a collective of marine biologists whose goal is to preserve a rare oyster species and protect its natural habitat. The farm operates consistent with fair labor practices and helps contribute to the local economy of the state of Sonora in northwest Mexico.

Shri Lanka

Sapphire

Highlight: Sri Lanka produces Ceylon sapphires of extraordinary color and quality. Miners in Sri Lanka employ age-old techniques that have been used for thousands of years while minimizing damage to the environment. Government regulations promote the use of low-impact mining techniques as well as remediation of the land after mining is complete. In addition, new ventures must undergo an assessment by environmental groups. Operating in small cooperatives, artisanal miners share the costs, labor, and profits from gemstone sales.

Zambia

Emeralds

Highlight: Many emeralds originate from mines that actively promote socially responsible practices, have taken steps to minimize their environmental footprint, and contribute to social projects, such as upgrading a hospital clinic and building a secondary school.
