Sourcing & Supplier Transparency Information
Ethica work with a handful of lab-grown diamond suppliers around the world that have an innovative approach to growing diamonds, meaning they monitor their energy consumption and look to offset this in various different ways. Some growers they work with are already working with renewable energy. The patented Ethica Diamond is sourced from a single origin, it’s currently the only manufacturer of this product in the world.
Ethica works with manufacturers that use SCS certified 100% recycled or Fairtrade Gold and fair mined Platinum from a single source mine.
Most of the materials carry third-party certification, where certification isn’t available they are working with suppliers whom they have long-standing trustworthy relationships with.
