The Philosophy was simple: Ingredients are what matter most

Square Organics started with sourcing nutrient-dense and minimally processed plant proteins like sprouted whole grain brown rice, and low glycemic sweeteners like coconut nectar. Eventually, this grew into a larger understanding that the people and processes are “ingredients” that should be scrutinized and cared for too.

In the fall of 2013, this led to a partnership with Not For Sale …

ETHICALLY RESPONSIBLE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE  

The U.S.-based Spence Diamond manufacturer can do what traditionally mind diamond dealers can’t – they guarantee your diamond’s origin. This eliminates the middlemen, their unquestionable practices, and any societal conflict. Spence minimizes their environmental footprint by removing the intense impact of traditional mining. Spence’s Artisan Created Diamonds are made in the U.S., ethically responsible, and environmentally sustainable.

IDENTICAL TO TRADITIONAL MINED DIAMONDS

Artisan Created Diamonds have the exact physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds. The only difference – they are created in a plasma chamber rather than dug from the Earth.

  Using breakthrough technology and proprietary Spence equipment, Spence replicates the environment in which a natural diamond grows, taking 6-12 weeks. Each truly one-of-a-kind, gem-grade Artisan Created Diamond will come with its own inclusions, color, and clarity just as it would in nature.

PROTECTION FROM EXTRACTIVE MINING PRACTICES

The beauty of knowing where your diamond comes from means you can rest easy about who was involved in creating your diamond. As part of Spence Diamond’s commitment to creating a better world, the Artisan Diamond reduces the need for extractive mining – thereby preventing the desctructive practices that so often result in human trafficking. Spence Diamonds also commits to contributing a portion of their revenue to empowering local communities in the Democractic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, where conflict has made many people vulnerable to exploitation of the traditional mining industry.
