Raw diamonds are a thing of the future.
Todd Reed, ex pastry chef, makes simple, elegant and richly textured rings, bracelets, necklaces using raw diamonds. Recently my good friend Suzi got a double band as an engagement ring from her extremely with-it fiancé Mike – now listen up because this is enviable. Mike worked closely with the jewelry designers to create this ring especially for Suzi – and they worked with him to combine gold and silver elements to meet his budget. Suzi is walking around like all she’s got is a left hand.
We’ve blogged about ethical diamonds in the past – this is an antiquated industry, fatal for some, unjust for others, that really, truly needs to change. It’s up to the hip and happening about-to-be-engaged to find ethical solutions to our traditions. Todd Reed is definitely one shining star example.
The gold used in Todd’s work is recycled and all of the diamonds are purchased through reputable sources including many ecofriendly locations.
