    Ethical Jewellery & Gemstone Sourcing

    Ensuring the backstory of your gemstone is as beautiful as what it represents.

    Updated on  October 23, 2025 by  William Stone
    Ethical Jewellery & Gemstone Sourcing

    Crafting with care — for people, the planet, and generations to come.

    At Stones Diamond Ring Specialists, ethical craftsmanship has been part of our philosophy since 1970. For over five decades, we have remained committed to sourcing our materials responsibly, supporting trusted suppliers, and minimising our environmental footprint — so that you can wear your jewellery with pride, knowing it was created with integrity.

    Our Diamonds — Trusted Origins, Certified Quality

    All of our diamonds are sourced through reputable suppliers who adhere to the highest ethical standards, including those guided by the principles of the Kimberley Process.

    We work closely with partners who source diamonds that are:

    Conflict-free — We only deal with suppliers who can guarantee their diamonds have not funded violence or unethical practices.

    Certified by GIA — The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the world’s leading authority in diamond grading and ethics. All Stones diamonds over 0.50ct are GIA-certified, ensuring complete transparency regarding their quality.

    Responsibly mined — Our long-standing relationships with trusted suppliers mean we know where our diamonds come from and that they meet stringent ethical standards.

    Our Coloured Gemstones — A Global Standard of Responsibility

    We take the same care in sourcing our beautiful, coloured gemstones. Whether it’s an Australian sapphire, a Mozambique ruby, or a Sri Lankan Ceylon sapphire, we only work with trusted suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices.

    Where possible, we prioritise Australian-mined gemstones, reducing environmental and social impact while celebrating local craftsmanship.

    Our Gold — Recycled, Responsible, Minimal Waste

    At Stones, we are proud to recycle and refine our gold every year, reducing the need for newly mined metal and significantly lowering our environmental footprint.

    All offcuts and filings from our workshop are collected, refined, and reused, ensuring minimal waste.

    We can also work with your own heirloom gold to create new pieces — preserving sentiment while protecting the planet.

    We primarily use 18ct gold and platinum, both of which are highly durable and suited to recycling, allowing us to produce jewellery that is both sustainable and long-lasting.

    Our Craftsmanship — Made to Last, Not to Waste

    Every piece of jewellery we create is designed to endure. By choosing Stones, you’re investing in:

    Jewellery that doesn’t need replacing — reducing demand for newly mined materials.

    In-house manufacturing that limits unnecessary transport and reduces carbon footprint.

    Repairs and restorations that extend the life of your treasured pieces

    Our Promise to You

    We know that jewellery represents more than just beauty — it represents values, meaning, and legacy. That’s why we’re dedicated to:

    Sourcing diamonds, gemstones, and metals responsibly

    Minimising waste through thoughtful craftsmanship and recycling

    Sharing the story behind every stone, so you can wear yours with pride
