Your Gemstone Guide
Gemstones rock. They come in myriad beautiful colours and they also have their own unique energy that can help correct imbalances in our own vibrations, realigning our body and spirit. But how do you know which stone to use? Our handy guide is here to help.
Whether you’re curious about how we source our sustainable gemstones, want to know how lab-grown Diamonds are created, or are simply looking for the stone that will bring you calm and serenity, our Gemstone Guide has all your burning questions answered.
Why do gemstones look different from one another?
No two gemstones are exactly alike. Natural gemstones are hand-cut from larger rocks which means there are variations in colour, appearance, pattern, clarity and size. This is completely normal and is part of what makes our gemstone jewellery so beautiful – and unique.
Are your Diamonds ethically sourced?
Our Diamonds are ethically sourced. All our natural Diamond suppliers adhere to the Kimberley Process, which regulates ethical, conflict-free Diamonds from mine to market.
To further reduce the impact of our Diamonds, we predominantly use melee stones, which are a by-product of Diamond mining. This means your AC Diamond jewellery is kind to people and the planet.
Do you use lab-grown Diamonds?
We use lab-grown Diamonds in our fine jewellery. Lab-grown Diamonds are identical to their mined counterparts in beauty and appearance – but without the environmental or social impact.
They are created by replicating the same conditions that form natural Diamonds, meaning they have the same chemical structure and even fewer imperfections. Where lab-grown Diamonds are used, this will always be noted on the product page.
Are your gemstones sustainable?
We only use sustainable gemstones. From Lapis to Malachite, every stone is either semi-precious or precious and responsibly sourced.
Our gemstones are either mined from sustainable sources or lab-grown, and the origin of each stone is always noted on the product page.
What type of Pearls do you use?
We use freshwater Pearls in all our jewellery. These naturally sourced Pearls are formed in freshwater mussels found in lakes, rivers and ponds.
Each Pearl has its own unique shape, size and lustre, making every piece of Pearl jewellery one of a kind.
Responsible Jewellery Council Certification
We are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council and have undergone a rigorous process to ensure every aspect of our business, from factories to office recycling, meets the highest sustainability standards.
