The short answers is no. We try to use ethical semi-precious stones which are a safer option for us. Arianotte is a new brand and we decided not to include diamonds on our first collections for 2 reasons.
The first is practical, most women don't feel safe wearing real diamonds at a daily level and Arianotte Jewellery are meant to be worn by women on a daily basis.
The second reason is the value of a diamond and the conflicts around it. We proudly call Arianotte a sustainable and ethical brand. We have done our best to minimize all the negative impact this brand would have on the environment and on society. We cannot say that we are 100% sustainable and ethical because there might have been something we missed but we can say for sure that we've done our best, didn't take the easy road and we chose to work with the best suppliers we could find, who share the same passion about sustainability.
Around these 5 years it took to build this brand, we didn't know if we could find conflict-free diamonds and we decided to skip this project for now.
