Are your stones ethically sourced?
Absolutely! We establish positive, open, and collaborative relationships with our suppliers, sourcing exclusively from mines adhering to ethical safety standards and fair wages. Our stones are cut in a 'fair trade' manner, allowing lapidary cutters to set their rates and work in their own facilities (often their own homes).
Are your stones calibrated?
Whilst most of our stones are artisanally cut by hand, we do also a small range of oval and round stones in sizes that would fit a pre-made bezel cup.
Stones that have been pre-calibrated are marked as "Calibrated" in the stone's listing title and description
