It’s natural that you want to cement your relationship with a stunning diamond engagement ring. But where to start? Well here are some basics:

• • Everyone talks about the 4 Cs, but we start with a 5th – Conflict Free! The diamond industry has a dark side that, fortunately, has been increasingly exposed. We sidestep the human and environmental exploitation and greed of many mines by sourcing our diamonds exclusively from Canadamark, where they “cut diamonds, not corners.” Canadamark responsibly mines its diamonds in Canada’s Northwest with great attention paid to both the environment and to host communities.
