Sustainably Sourced Materials

​

We take great pride in our rigorous selection of materials, always striving for the highest standards of sustainability. Here's how we ensure our pieces are not only exquisite but also eco-conscious:

 

Natural Diamonds: Paredes & Co. is committed to the responsible sourcing of natural diamonds. We only work with suppliers who adhere to the Kimberley Process, guaranteeing that our diamonds are conflict-free and ethically mined.

​

Lab Diamonds: As part of our commitment to sustainability, we proudly offer lab-grown diamond as a responsible alternative to natural diamond. Lab-grown diamonds are ethically sourced, have a reduced environmental impact, and offer exceptional quality and transparency.

​

Moissanite: For those who prefer a more affordable sustainable alternative, we offer moissanite, a lab-grown gemstone that sparkles just as brilliantly as natural diamonds. Moissanite is eco-friendly, as it minimises the environmental impact associated with traditional diamond mining.

​

Gemstones: We source natural or lab-made gems from suppliers committed to fair trade practices, ensuring ethical treatment of workers, fair wages, and minimal environmental impact. Each gemstone is carefully selected for its quality and beauty, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.

 

Gold: Our gold is sourced from responsible mines that prioritise ethical and environmentally friendly practices. We use recycled gold whenever possible, reducing the demand for new mining operations.

 

Sterling Silver: Our sterling silver is crafted from recycled materials, minimising waste and supporting a circular economy.

​
