Sky Diamonds (real diamonds, made from air!)

Sky Diamond is the ethical alternative for people who buy real diamonds. But these require no mining. They are made by combining hydrogen from rainwater, forming the same crystal structure as earth-mined diamonds. And unlike most lab-grown gems, this brand cuts out all fossil fuels completely.

These are very expensive, but listed as an ethical alternative to people who do pay thousands of pounds for engagement and wedding rings (and millions do).

Before ordering, find your correct ring size (you can have custom sizes and engraving if wished).

Keep jewellery out of reach of young children and pets. Send single earrings, broken chains (and unwanted watches and bank notes freepost to Animal Free Research UK or War Paws (to help animals in war zones).

How to care for and clean jewellery

Keep your jewellery in closed pouches, so it doesn’t rub and scratch. Take it off before showering, swimming, or using a sauna, and also before applying lotion or perfume.

For cleaning, soak it in lukewarm water with a little mild liquid soap, then use an old toothbrush to lift any marks. After that, rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Why choose recycled vegan jewellery?

As well as avoiding harm with vegan jewellery (no bone, fur, feather, oysters, shells), it’s also important to choose pieces made from recycled metals, to avoid mining for new gold and silver (there is enough of both on earth to last for eternity).

Mining not only harms the planet, but disturbs ecosystems (and panning for gold is harming habitats of endangered hippos on the ivory coast). Donkeys in Tanzania also have to work in hot weather to transport gold from mines. Just choose recycled, to help everyone and everything.
