Luxury Goods & Jewelry - San Francisco, California, United States
The Raw Stone is a source of natural rough diamonds and ethically mined gemstones from around the world. Our stones are set as is in jewelry, typically by socially conscious jewelers or individuals who want to create a piece of custom jewelry from the ground up. We are passionate about gemstones and jewelry, and believe that consumers and jewelers alike should have access to high quality, ethical, and traceable gemstones and diamonds. In order to source our inventory, we perform thorough research, deep due diligence, and secure strong relationships with industry luminaries. Living wages, humane treatment of workers, safety, education, and the absence of child labor are all key principles of the mines and lapidaries that we work with.We supply diamonds and gemstones to both independent jewelers and individuals. If you are an individual seeking to create a custom piece, we can help source your stone and would be more than happy to recommend ethical jewelers who may trust to create your design in a responsible manner. If you are a jeweler who is creating a line of jewelry, we can work directly with you to order a custom line of stones that fit your exact needs.A note about our sourcing philosophy:Diamonds: We source all our rough diamonds from siteholders and industry luminaries who we trust, and who can trace the stones back to their country of origin. Raw diamonds that are uncut are much easier to trace, as they are not mixed with other parcels in order to be polished. Gemstones: Most of our gemstones come from the Tanzania Women's Mining Association, an organization in Tanzania that pools together small scale miners, empowers women to work in mining, and educates miners on safe and ethical mining practices. When we are unable to supply gemstones from Tanzania, we work directly with mines and gem cutters throughout the world who are dedicated to modern and ethical mining and cutting practices.
