Ingle & Rhode is a London-based jeweler that is committed to ethical sourcing. This means that their diamonds are not only conflict-free but are also polished by adults working in good conditions and receiving fair pay. The cost and glamor of an engagement or wedding ring can sometimes overshadow the tainted history of where it came from.
The onus isn't just on the quality of diamonds but also on the gold and platinum used. Rather than depending on the gold from large-scale mining operations which produce over 20 tons of toxic material, Ingle & Rhode uses Fairtrade & Fairmind gold and platinum and also offers their clients the option of using recycled gold.
