Stone Spotlight: Aquamarine

Color: Colors range widely within the blue to blue-green spectrum, including pale blues, frosty blues, seafoam greens, and deeper greenish-blues Our Sources: We source Aquamarines from Maine, New Hampshire, Colorado, Malawi, Madagascar, and other countries around the world. The Fairmined New Hampshire Aquamarine Emerald-Cut Carved Solitaire Stone Cutting: We generally source pre-cut gemstones. For stones sourced outside of the US, we look for suppliers who employ stone cutters in the same region where the stones are mined. Enjoy 5% off your first order & be the first to know about new collections, exclusive offers & more! More on Aquamarines: Aquamarines are March’s birthstone! They are rated 7.5-8 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making them hard and durable enough to wear everyday. Aquamarines are a part of the Beryl gemstone family, which includes Emeralds, Goshenites, Morganites, and Heliodors. The Aquamarine Pendant More on Our Commitment to Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing: W.R. Metalarts strives to know the full story of the materials we use in our jewelry. We are committed to supporting artisanal miners and mining communities, promoting healthy and safe working conditions, and avoiding environmentally destructive practices. We are dedicated to deepening our understanding and working to address the historical and ongoing harm of the jewelry industry on indigenous communities and communities of color all around the world. We do not claim to have all of the answers; we are constantly evaluating our practices as we gain a more nuanced understanding of our complex industry. Transparency is critical so that you, our clients and collaborators, can trust that we’ve done all we can to create the most beautiful jewelry - not just the end result, but beautiful at every step of the journey. The way that we back up these values is to do our homework, putting our suppliers through rigorous vetting processes. We don’t take our vendors at face value when they say a stone is “conflict-free” or “sustainable;” we push them to give us the whole story about the journey of a stone and if they are not able to back up their claims of “ethics'' with sources or credentials, we won’t work with them. We source directly from local cutters and miners, when possible, which is one way to ensure ethical, responsible, and sustainable sourcing, practices and conditions. It takes time and diligence to find suppliers that we trust, but once we find them, we forge incredible relationships built on our shared values of transparency and doing good. Through direct relationships, ongoing assessment, and accountability we continue to strengthen and develop these practices and the demands for them. The Mokume Gane Square-Cut Maine Aquamarine Solitaire Thank you for supporting responsible and sustainable sourcing!

Stone Spotlight: Amethyst

Amethyst Color: Soft lavender to deep purple. Our Sources: Maine Mineral and Gem Museum. We often use stones mined as part of the intergalactic Find (also called the Fourth of July find) in the mid 1990's. Mined by the Intergalactic Mining Corporation at the Eastman Prospect at Deer Hill in Stow, ME. Stone Cutting: We source pre-cut pieces.

More on Amethyst: This stone is the birthstone for February and is also associated with the zodiac sun sign of pisces. The ancient Greeks believed that this crystal got its purple color from Dionysus, the god of wine, pouring wine over it. There are many beliefs that associate amethyst with peace and it is believed to have a calming affect on whoever wears it. More on Our Commitment to Ethical and Sustainable Sourcing: We go beyond sourcing stones that are "conflict free" because we view the certification as problematic in several ways. First of all, it excludes small family mining and refining businesses that are unable to afford the certification, but who are producing excellent products by putting their money into paying their employees and ensuring safe conditions rather than paying the costly fee for certification (if you are familiar with the challenges of "organic farming" certifications in the US, this is a similar phenomenon). Second, the "conflict-free" certification only means that company has had to prove that profits have not gone to fund civil war activities in certain conflict regions---it does not ensure safe working conditions, fair wages, or safe and sustainable environmental practices. Another growing concern are the labor abuses that take place in large stone cutting factories worldwide, which conflict free certifications do not regulate. We find that sourcing directly from local cutters and miners is the best way to insure ethical, responsible and sustainable sourcing, practices and conditions. Through direct relationships, ongoing assessment and accountability we continue to strengthen and develop these practices and the demands for them. Thank you for supporting responsible and sustainable sourcing! It is truly an honor! Enjoy 5% off your first order & be the first to know about new collections, exclusive offers & more!
