Magic and Meaning in Every Stone

Select the perfect stone for your vision.

Diamonds are timeless symbols of love, commitment, and celebration. Each stone represents strength and endurance, and reflect unbreakable bonds. As you embark on the journey of love, your diamond will be a reminder of your promises - to yourself, to your loved ones, and to your future.

Natural diamonds are born in the heart of the earth, forged in the crushing pressure and immense heat of the earth’s mantle. They are rare and unique gifts, imbued with the magic of millions of years of transformation and growth.

Lab grown diamonds are a product of human innovation and advancement. They are made by layering isolated carbon atoms onto themselves, creating crystals that are chemically, physically, and optically the same as natural diamonds. However, grown stones are not guaranteed to be the more ethical option. We work with lab grown diamonds sourced from vendors we trust to foster as much conciousness in our selection as possible. 

From antique diamonds, natural diamonds, lab grown diamonds, to silken and glowing sapphires our intent for every jewel is to seek that one that sings to you and your love.

Natural Diamonds

Diamonds have seen ages pass, and have witnessed times that are just stories and lore to us now. Saturated with a sense of mystery and enchantment, natural diamonds have been treasured and sought after for centuries, and have been used in many ritual and ceremonial contexts, adding to their sense of mystique and significance. Natural diamonds hold the magic of the historic, and it's an honor to work with them and bring them to life.

Misfit Diamonds, one of our primary natural diamond sources, believes establishing documented origin is one of the first steps to creating transparency in the diamond industry. They explore the working conditions, labor practices, and environmental factors involved in the extraction of each of their precious stones.

We also work with Poli Trading Company, where they work tirelessly to source antique and vintage gems, as well as bold, modern cuts.

Lab-Grown Diamonds

We source from Stuller, working alongside our lovely rep to select the most glorious option available. By request, we can also source from the Diamond Foundry.

By choosing a lab grown diamond, please know that Maria and her team will select the prettiest lab grown option available, unless you would like to discuss options via email. The chosen lab grown diamond will come certified, in the DEF color range with VS1+ clarities, and very good to excellent ratings.

Sapphires

Sapphires are gems of mystery and magic, long associated with celestial powers and the heavens above. Their vibrant and widely-varied hues evoke a sense of romance, passion, and profound emotions. Sapphire beauty transcends time and trends - they are a wonderful choice for heirlooms and talismans.

Beyond their symbolic and nostalgic value, sapphires are also practical and durable gemstones, boasting a hardness second only to the diamond. This means that it can withstand daily wear and tear without losing luster or brilliance. Sapphires are a perfect choice for those who want a gemstone that will last a lifetime of love.

We curate our sapphires from vendors we adore, such as Kins from Choice Gem Co. in Seattle, Nadine from I Love Green Rocks, Poli Trading Co., and Earth's Treasury. With origins from Ceylon to Montana, truly any hue imaginable can be sourced. 

Considering the Future

It's important to note that lab grown diamonds may not hold their value over time, and have an unclear secondary market value. They can also come from mixed sources that are neither kind to those who create them, nor the environment. We hope to find a balance between affordability and concious sourcing, now, and in the future as lab grown jewels continue to become more popular. 

Whether you choose a natural diamond or a lab grown diamond, we believe that every piece of jewelry is saturated with magic and meaning. It's not just about the stones, it's about the stories they hold and the memories you create with them.
