New blog is coming soon.
We’re very keen to expand our own knowledge about the jewellery industry as well as keeping our readers up to date with goings-on. Connecting with other bloggers and subjects is a key part of this and we’d love to hear from as diverse a group of contributors as possible.
Hosting content is a great way to connect with other writers and causes and it would be great to develop some our network out there in the blogosphere.
The message from many LGD sellers and producers is that Lab-grown diamonds = Good and Mined diamonds = bad. They frequently cite the failings of mined diamonds and treat mined diamonds as a single product group with uniform effects and process.
It’s true that a mined diamond can come from a large mine that has a significant environmental impact however it’s also possible its come from a small scale mine which is a lifeline to impoverished communities.
The exact colour of Demantoids can vary from location to location and there is a relationship between the colour and how much the stones sparkle.
Stones found in the Ural mountains in Russia have the most intense green colour of all currently known deposits of the stone and these stones command the highest prices.
Either Fairmined or Fairtrade gold are the most ethical materials to make wedding rings from, this is because they ensure that the miners who took the gold from the ground receive a fair price for their work and made sure they protected the environment in which they live and work.
