Learn MoreGemstone Sourcing
Stuller adheres to strict protocols in regards to the sourcing of both lab-created and mined gemstones. As a natural resource, gemstones can be found almost anywhere, but they are mined, cut, and exchanged too frequently to keep traceable documentation of their exact source.
However, we engage in several practices to ensure the integrity of the gemstones we purchase and believe in creating an open dialogue about gemstone sourcing to be as transparent and trustworthy as possible. Some of the ethical practices we engage in include:
Ethically Sourced Diamonds
Stuller procures the majority of its diamonds directly from suppliers that manufacture rough diamonds. Sourcing cut and polished diamonds that originate from Canada, South Africa, Botswana, Russia, Australia, and Namibia.
Our membership with the Diamond Manufacturers and Importers Association of America (DMIA) means that we share their commitment to upholding the highest standards for ethics, integrity, and professionalism in the diamond industry. Together, we are committed to boosting consumer confidence in diamonds.
No-Conflict Diamonds
We are committed to selling conflict-free, ethically sourced diamonds. We believe it is completely unacceptable to tolerate conflict diamonds and human suffering in any way.
All rough and polished mined diamonds sold by Stuller comply with the Kimberly Process, which ensures rough diamonds are
Diamond Screening
