Towards a Net-Zero Future
Our jewelry reflects our commitment to the planet. We use recycled and sustainable materials, apply energy-efficient practices, and track our progress toward science-based net-zero targets.
Sustainability
Sustainability guides every decision we make. It shapes the materials in our Chicago showrooms, the gemstones and precious metals we offer, and the policies at our head office. We are dedicated to making choices that protect the environment. We know sustainability is a continuing journey, and we keep working to improve our practices.
Fairmined Gold
If our gold isn’t repurposed, it’s Fairmined.
Fairmined turns gold into good. It empowers small scale miners and encourages responsible mining to minimize environmental impact.
We're proud to be Fairmined certified since 2015. Every year, we not only increase our Fairmined gold jewelry purchases, but also provide grants through the Brilliant Earth Foundation to support these artisanal, small-scale miners in Peru's Madre de Dios region.
Lab Grown Diamonds
We were one of the first in the industry to sell lab diamonds as a mining-free alternative to natural diamonds.
We pioneered new standards to ensure our lab diamonds are even more socially and environmentally responsible: We require our lab diamond manufacturers to be audited for safe working conditions, and we continue to push them to increase their wind and solar energy use.
We offer three innovative lab grown diamond collections: the Renewable Collection, which showcases diamonds grown, cut, and polished with 100% renewable wind and solar energy; the Capture Collection, which features diamonds grown with CO2 captured before it's released into the atmosphere; and the Sustainably Rated Collection, offering lab diamonds grown, cut and polished with carbon-neutral energy
