For someone like Janet Gabriel, a designer who only uses recycled(fair-minded) gold and LGDs from Italy’s Stone Lab Diamond, she takes her sustainability message from the forest. Purchasing large tree limbs severed by serve wind and lightning storms, she creates circular wood jewelry boxes that slide open to reveal her designs. Luxury jewelers aren’t the only folks using the compelling and psychologically attractive elements of fresh flora. The North American demi-fine diamond retail space is levering trays of grass in long, vertical trays by their cash wrap and by entrance ways. While this method is very inexpensive to purchase, it is not so easy to maintain. Grass can grow relatively quickly and without natural light, it can start looking a lot more like dry, yellowed hay. That, and certain types of natural green plants needing dirt tend to draw tiny insects… not what you want to be dealing with when donning items to beautify. Which is one reason why the French demi- fine lab diamond design house diamconcept decided to forfeit any association to grass and opt for dried elements from the famed French woods, Le Bois du Fay. They use dried moss No greenwashing here…Janet Gabriel goes to great lengths to ensure the tree parts that make up her jewelry boxes are as sustainable as her 18k fair-mined gold and LGDs designs.

The look flows with their delicate, forever persevered, tiny woodland flower jewelry, each with a quarter point or less single LGD all encased within a fingerprint- proof optical glass set in 14kt gold plate. Their introductory priced diamond jewelry comes with a gentle story. The Hummingbird collection, launching this Spring, offers 15% from each sales to a non-profit helping the endangered bird species stay alive, and a clever connection to all things tiny, natural and woody.
