Journal

For every state of you.

What we have worked out about the stones, and the parts we are still working out.

Wearing

How a piece moves through an ordinary week. Stacking, layering, and what daily wear really does to solid gold.

Read

Making

How a stone is held, and why the shape of the metal is a decision. The work you stop being able to see once it is finished.

Living

The states a piece passes through in a day, and the case for wearing it now instead of keeping it for something.

Read

Stones

Grading, reports, metals and resale. The answers we would want ourselves before spending this much.

Are Lab Grown Diamonds Real Diamonds?

Yes. A lab grown diamond is carbon in the same crystal lattice, with the same hardness and the same refractive index as a mined stone. The only difference is where the crystal grew.
