Custodians of the Earth’s Jewels
Responsible mining pioneers.
A gemstone’s crystals form over thousands, millions, even billions of years, in conditions of unimaginable heat and pressure. Each and every gemstone is, among other things, a lesson in patience and endurance.
At Iridis we take inspiration from the earth’s jewels, their durability and natural beauty, as we embrace the challenge of helping transform our industry for the better.
We recognise that the road towards truly responsible gemstone mining is long and challenging. There is much to be done. Yet we see this, too, as an opportunity – an opportunity for us to set a positive example that others will choose to follow.
A fully transparent supply chain encourages an entire industry to be more responsible, and it provides the designer and consumers with a real choice.
We know that the future is collaborative and that we must do this together to create a brighter, more resilient gemstone industry.
Our vision and goals.
Introduce a new grading system for tourmaline.
Celebrate and share the power and untold stories of gemstones.
Realign the gemstone-mining industry’s relationship with the earth from one of mere extraction to one of respectful reciprocity.
