Our sustainability story starts with our product. Since day one, we've crafted our rings locally in NYC using recycled precious metals and ethical, lab-grown diamonds. We make each ring to order, meaning no wasteful excess inventory, and we offer a lifetime guarantee on every ring. Over the past few years, we've worked towards reducing our environmental impact in many facets of our business, from switching to 100% SCS-certified recycled gold to making sure all of our packaging is curbside recyclable. We're proud of the progress we've made, but we know there's a lot more we can accomplish. We're excited to partner with Climate Neutral to both offset our carbon footprint and help us work toward our broader sustainability goals.
