We refrain from using gemstones if there is evidence or reasonable cause to believe they were mined under the following conditions:
- Fair Compensation: We ensure miners are paid fairly. With widespread access to smartphones and the internet, buyers no longer take advantage of miners during gemstone transactions.
- Environmental Considerations: We choose mining areas away from community water sources to mitigate health risks.
- Child Labor: We adhere to the International Labor Organization’s definition of child labor.
