Our Past, Present, and Future
Our Mission
Our main goals are providing our clients with an easy, transparent jewelry purchasing experience and making sure that every customer is 100% in love with their design. We encourage customers to ask questions and provide feedback through every stage of the purchasing and design process. We take the time to listen.
We are constantly striving to become a more responsible business. In 2014 we decided to start carrying laboratory grown diamonds and focusing on both lab and Canadian mined diamonds as alternatives to traditional “Conflict Free” diamonds. We also sell Fair Trade gemstone and gems mined in the United States such as Montana Sapphires.
All of our metals that we use in our jewelry are recycled.
We have transitioned to packaging that is recycled, made in the USA, and/or made in fair trade workshops.
