RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
OUR METALS & MATERIALS
At Bliss Lau, responsible sourcing is at the core of everything we do. The origin of
our materials, diamonds, gemstones, and metals, are traceable and transparent. We strive to source from suppliers that minimize environmental harm, respect human rights, and support fair labor practices throughout the supply chain.
OUR METALS & MATERIALS
GEMSTONES
An encapsulation of Earth's unique power, each gemstone tells a story of time,
transformation and beauty. We responsibly source stones that embody the planet's natural artistry and our belief in transparency.
Diamonds
Like a moment of captured sunlight on your hand, we believe there is beauty in all diamonds. We offer a variety within our commitment to responsible sourcing, allowing you to choose a diamond connects
with you.
Antique Diamonds
Antique diamonds (reclaimed or post-consumer diamonds) are extracted from previously used jewelry or sourced from vintage jewelry and estate collections. These low-impact stones come in a variety of unique or historical cuts.
Lab Grown Diamonds
For those seeking an alternative to earth mined stones, our SCS Certified lab-grown diamonds offer the same brilliance, durability, and beauty as natural diamonds and are carbon neutral. Our vendors have all voluntarily participated in our transparency review.
Sapphires
Sapphires are at the heart of our design philosophy. Eclipsed only by diamonds for durability, they are perfect for everyday wear. We curate a collection in a vibrant array of colors from the responsible mining community across the globe.
Garnets
In keeping with our commitment to supporting women in the global jewelry industry, we offer garnets from the Moyo Gem initiative, a responsible miner-to-market gemstone collaboration based in East Africa. We also source heritage and antique stones.
Emeralds
Our emeralds are heritage gemstones from Brazil. Soft and porous compared to diamonds and sapphires, they are known to have multiple inclusions which cause the stone to be more delicate. We recommend emeralds be worn with care.
Jade
Our jade is sourced from antique jewelry and mines respectful of the land and people. Our black and lavender Mayan jade is from a woman owned operation in Guatemala, then cut in-region, supporting local artisans, using their ancestral craft
Tourmaline
Celebrated for its stunning spectrum of colors and durability, tourmaline is perfect for everyday wear. Our newly mined comes from the Cruziero Mine, an environmentally conscious mine in Brazil. We have a limited selection of Heritage Rubellite from Afghanistan.
Our Metals & Materials
MEtals
We craft with responsibly sourced Fairmined, Single Mine Origin, and repurposed metals because responsible sourcing is the future of fine jewelry. We ensure each piece is incredibly impactful.
Single Mined Origin Gold
SMO gold ensures complete traceability from mine to final piece. Mined from a specific, identifiable source and adhering to internationally recognized responsibility standards of environmental and social responsibility, it guarantees quality and purity while supporting fair wages and safe working conditions for miners.
Fairmined Gold
Fairmined gold Represents gold mining which supports artisanal and small-scale miners while protecting local ecosystems. Fairmined Certified Mines create equal opportunities for women, pay fair wages and are required to reduce environmental impact over time using environmentally conscious techniques.
Repurposed Gold
Post-consumer repurposed gold can include sources like used jewelry, dental fillings and crowns, metals recovered from circuit boards and circulated currency. To ensure traceability, we require documentation from all partner fabricators, unlike standard repurposed gold, whose origins can be unclear
PLATINUM
Renowned as the world’s most precious metal, platinum offers an exceptionally secure hold on gemstones. Naturally hypoallergenic and ideal for daily wear, it develops a soft, luminous patina over time. Repurposed platinum is available for bespoke creations upon request.
SILVER
Our silver is post-consumer recycled and refined in the U.S. Post consumer silver is sourced from existing silver product melted down, and refined to produce silver that matches the purity and quality of newly mined metal.
OUR PARTNERS
TRANSPARENCY REVIEW
Our commitment to responsible sourcing and transparency extends to our partners and artisans. Each vendor we work with undergoes a thorough vetting with our Transparency Review. We evaluate their environmental stewardship, labor standards, and business transparency—requiring documented compliance with our standards.
SUPPORTING WOMEN & RESPONSIBLE MINING
In further effort to support women and independent artisanal miners in the jewelry industry, BLISS LAU supports the Moyo Gem Initiative, and TAWOMA, Tanzanian Woman's Mining Organization as well as ARM, the Alliance for Responsible Mining on the Fairmined Gold initiative.
