The Ethical Gem Suppliers form a collective of gem dealers dedicated to fostering transparent supply chains that uplift artisanal mining and cutting communities worldwide.

Beyond selling gemstones, their mission includes educating both the industry and consumers about responsible sourcing practices. Their sourcing spans across dozens of gem varieties and various regions such as Australia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and the United States, among others. They responsibly source through:

  • supporting artisanal miners and their communities

  • providing gemstones with verifiable origins and full traceability

  • committing to fair pay and fair treatment for everyone involved in the supply chain

  • adhering to clear and responsible environmental policies

  • promoting health and safety at mine and supplying SCS-certified recycled diamonds and gemstones
