What Is Meant By Ethically Sourced Gemstones?

Ethically sourced is the term which ultimately indicates that the gemstones are sourced from good sources. Dacoits do not buy these, are purchased from terrorists, or have been a medium to initiate wars. If you need clarification, let us shed some light on this subject. It is well known to the world that terrorists use precious gemstones, specifically diamonds, to transact and initiate terrorism. But here we are, understanding the source of the gem and ensuring it is not sourced from such sources. It is unethical, and we condemn such practices. With constant efforts, we focus on sustainable jewelry and are proud to say Preeka's uses 18k recycled gold and ethically sourced gemstones to create jewelry. 




How to ensure that gemstone is ethically sourced?

There are specific ways to know the exact source of your gemstone, and a few are listed below:

1.       Learn about the origin of the gemstone- The place of birth is mentioned in the certificate of the gemstone. It will help you know the country from which it is extracted. Every gemstone is extracted from mother nature, and only those which aren't are artificial ones. The original ones are found at specific locations. For example, Tanzanite is only found in Tanzania but nowhere else. In case it is created in the lab, then it is a man-made gemstone. 



2.       Check originality certificate- Every gemstone is made available with a certificate of originality which includes all the details from dimension to weight. You will be able to learn everything about gemstones with a simple certificate. 

3.       Understand the institute that has certified the gemstone- The certificate will have the name of the institute clearly, and you can just google their information to know whether it is a genuine institute that is offering a certificate or not. 

4.       Get it checked by an expert- Yes, get your gemstone checked by an expert; it will help you in the best possible way to understand the gemstone. It is important for a jewelry owner to understand the originality of the gemstone. It helps them to know the exact worth of the piece of jewelry. Plus, it becomes easy when they go out for the resale of the jewelry. 



If you are able to understand that the gemstone is sourced from a proper provider, then you can make the most out of the available situation. It will be helpful for you to have a sense of assurance about the source of origin of the gemstone. It is important for everyone to know about the source and know each and every detail of the jewelry bought by them.
