Jewellery brand will stop selling mined diamonds

[gothicdream 39,657]

@GagaSine I don't mind at all! Ironically, my ring cost the same or maybe even more than it would have at a traditional jewelry shop. But that's just because of the shop I chose to purchase from. They are considered a high-fashion brand so their items are priced at a premium, even though their materials are recycled. I love their designs and ethos so it was a dream of mine to have a piece from them.

But I have found some really beautiful shops on Etsy owned by independent jewelry makers that use recycled materials and seem to cost less (or at least similar to) traditional jewelry stores! If and when I am able to purchase more jewelry in the future, I plan to go this route.

That promotes non-ethically sourced diamonds, so we don't know her (or Joanne as whole tbh... )

No it doesn't. It was clearly synthetized by the Haus Labs.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but if people stop selling mined diamonds won’t that just increase the value and desire for them? If so I worry that would increase the violence and bloodshed over these things in other countries. 

Natural diamonds are already rare and not easy to obtain which is why people lose their lives over them. Wouldn’t make them more rare worsen the situation?

If there’s plenty in stock their price decrease... so no, they probably would became more affordable
