Full Transparency
As our generations evolve, new questions are being asked, transparency in the process is starting to become as important as the stone itself. Historically, gemstones have passed through many hands before reaching the end consumer. Earth to Market™ gemstones are different because we purchase them closer to their source. In efforts to continually improve and provide transparency, we go to ever-increasing lengths to hold our suppliers accountable as we all work toward a sustainable business.
Minimal Environmental Impact
The issue of sustainability is growing among jewelry buyers. You can rely on the fact that Earth to Market gemstones emerge from the Earth through small endeavors that leave a minimal environmental impact. The local communities use traditional hand tools and centuries-old techniques to find and secure rough stones. Frequently the disruption to the land is minimal as they are working congruently alongside a moneymaking crop.
Cultural Diversity
Each region and countryside is different, from mountains to rivers and everything in between. These regions source the stones in a way that is the most gentle to their environment; practicing techniques of collection and protection as part of their heritage. On a higher level, we believe the diverse cultures add to the value and authenticity of each Earth to Market™ gemstone allowing the locale to promote what they feel is the best and what makes them the proudest.
