Diamonds Made From The Elements
Founded by Dale Vince OBE, Skydiamond alchemise their diamonds in Gloucestershire, England. They harvest carbon from the atmosphere to hold it forever in a diamond, they combine carbon with hydrogen from rainwater captured in the Cotswold countryside. Wind and sun provide their energy, their entire process is powered with their own renewables provided by their sister company, Ecotricity. Skydiamond jewellery is also created using recycled precious metals.
Compared to both mined and lab-grown diamonds, the Skydiamond process is the only one with negative emissions. This is due to the use of 100% renewable electricity, direct air capture for CO2, and hydrogen production from the electrolysis of rainwater.

The Ultimate Responsible Alternative To Mined Diamonds
The manufacturing of Skydiamonds replicates the earth’s process for mined diamonds, making them structurally and chemically identical. For every carat of Skydiamond produced, greenhouse gas emissions reduce by 99.79% compared to mined diamonds. Skydiamond do all of this without offsetting, creating exceptional products for people and planet.
Once created their diamonds are sent in batches to world class cutters and polishers in India; a woman’s collective who train and pay female artisans at the same level as their male counterparts, and give them flexible working hours to accommodate family commitments.
