I am sure after hearing about Natalie Portman’s engagement ring representing her ethical values; you too would want the same thing. Especially for a special piece of jewellery that represents the love in your life, for the rest of your life. This can be particularly daunting, especially when most jewellery companies aren’t even transparent about where they get their diamonds and other precious stones from. Luckily, I found Brilliant Earth! They not only use stones sourced from socially responsible harvesting methods, they are also active in raising awareness, and donating a portion of their proceeds to communities affected by unethical jewellery practises. Below is an overview of Brilliant Earth’s Values.

Brilliant Earth believes that luxury goods need not come at great human or environmental cost.

Awareness

Aware consumers make informed choices. We work with nonprofit agencies to provide comprehensive and objective information about our industry. We believe that through their purchases, our customers will drive the future of the jewelry industry.

Community

We donate 5% of our profits to help communities who have suffered from unethical practices in the jewelry industry. We strive to create a long-term and sustainable approach to community development.

Respect

We believe in promoting socially responsible business practices that respect human beings and the environment. We endeavor to treat all individuals with respect, both inside and outside the company.
