“Mined diamonds are a gift of nature whereas manmade diamonds are a gift of human wisdom”
Lin Qiang Vice-President, World Federation of Diamond Bourses
At ILANIS, we believe that true luxury should never come at the cost of human suffering or environmental degradation. That's why we have made a conscious decision to offer both recycled and lab-grown diamonds, responsible choices that align with our core values and mission.
Recycled diamonds, also known as repurposed or pre-loved diamonds, are diamonds that have been mined, cut, and polished in the past, then previously purchased and owned by someone else. By giving these diamonds a new life, we're embracing sustainable practices and offering an eco-friendly alternative in the jewelry market. This approach allows us to provide beautiful, high-quality diamonds while reducing the demand for new mining operations. All our recycled, earth-mined diamonds are GIA certified to ensure that they meet the highest standards of quality and can be compared to newly mined diamonds in terms of their characteristics, such as cut, color, clarity, and carat weight.
“(Lab-created diamonds) are not fakes. They're not zirconias. They have all the same physical and chemic properties of a mined diamond.”
Matthew Hall, Director, Gemological Institute of America (GIA)
Additionally, ILANIS offers a range of exceptional CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) lab-grown diamonds providing an ethical and sustainable alternative to traditional diamond mining. These diamonds are created in highly controlled laboratory environments, using advanced technology to replicate the natural diamond formation process. Unlike mined diamonds, CVD lab-grown diamonds are entirely conflict-free, ensuring that no human rights violations or environmental degradation occurs during their creation.
ILANIS understands the diamond mining industry's ongoing abuses, including human rights violations, child labor, and environmental destruction. We refuse to contribute to these atrocities by demanding newly mined diamonds. The Kimberley Process only certifies diamonds as conflict-free, but doesn't address other ethical issues in the supply chain. At ILANIS, we offer sustainable alternatives, allowing you to indulge in luxury without compromising your principles.
“The ruling is simplicity itself. A diamond is a diamond no matter whether it is grown in a lab or comes out of the ground. Lab grown diamonds are diamonds.”
Federal Trade Commission, August 2018
By choosing a recycled or CVD lab-grown diamond from ILANIS, you can enjoy the beauty and brilliance of a precious gemstone while making a conscious choice to support ethical and sustainable practices. Our diamonds are not only of the highest quality but also a testament to our commitment to revolutionizing the diamond industry by promoting responsible sourcing and consumption.
ILANIS' mission is to provide conflict-free luxury, ensuring that your diamond is a symbol of love, beauty, and celebration, not a reminder of exploitation and environmental degradation. By offering recycled and lab-grown diamonds, we empower our customers to make a positive impact and contribute to a more sustainable and ethical future for generations to come.
