At Ethica Diamonds, we believe in creating beautiful jewellery that doesn't cost the earth – or its inhabitants. But going a step further than that, we have always strived to to be a business which gives back and has a positive impact. That's why we're incredibly proud to announce our collaboration with the Born Free Foundation and its esteemed patron, Joanna Lumley, to create a truly special bespoke pendant to raise money for the amazing work Born Free does, which is very close to our hearts.
Our brilliant in-house designer, Laura Basham, worked with Joanna Lumley to create this beautiful pendant to be auctioned at the Footsteps For Freedom Gala. We used green lab-grown diamonds totalling 3.65cts and light-blue lab-grown sapphires totalling an additional 2.04cts, set in recycled gold to create a truly beautiful piece of jewellery with minimum impact to the environment.
"The whole world is in our hands: sink or swim, jeopardy or protection, survival or a miserable absence of our planet's most glorious animals. It is up to us: as humans we must wield our devastating power with compassion, humility and courage. I love this graceful and stunning pendant, which is as beautiful as it is wise. It captures Born Free’s ethics and ambitions perfectly.” - Dame Joanna Lumley
It’s been so rewarding to create something so meaningful to support Born Free with their amazing work, which raised a phenomenal £10,000. Plus, it demonstrates our mission perfectly, that we can create truly meaningful and stunning pieces of jewellery without harming the environment, animals or people through mining.
Every penny raised from this pendant went straight to Born Free, helping them continue their vital work. It’s our way of doing our bit, from our little corner of Cornwall, to make a difference.
If you love this pendant, we can recreate it with customisations to suit you and we would donate a percentage of the profits to Born Free to continually support their work. Get in touch with our team here.
Also, stay tuned for a bespoke collection of jewellery designed exclusively for Born Free which will also continually support their mission!
