TOAST TO THE HOLIDAYS AT KITCHEN AT COBBLE HILL

A MODERN MEDITERRANEAN BRUNCH WITH WINE AND GEM PAIRINGS!

Guess what wine and gemstones have in common… they are both expressive of “terroir”… of the earth!

Just as the elements in the soil impact how a wine tastes, the minerals that were present in the earth when a gemstone was formed determine how a gem will look!

These are but a few similarities that may surprise you!

Our experience is designed to nourish appetites, joy, curiosity, and community - and expand things to know and questions to ask about responsible sourcing!

Beyond Kitchen on Cobble Hill’s delectable Mediterranean flavors, guests experienced a flight of 3 wines, paired with 3 gemstones, discovering the dynamic qualities of the gems, up close and personal!

Diamond or Colored Gemstone Deposit

$500.00

Source an heirloom-worthy diamond or colored gemstone for your engagement ring that is uniquely beautiful to you and aligns with your values.

This could be:

• POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED DIAMONDS - these memorable diamonds support climate action because they have already incurred a cost in their carbon footprint, whether they are 4 or 400 years old.

• RESPONSIBLY SOURCED DIAMONDS - such diamonds from Botswana, Australia, Canada, or other nations have a more holistic goal of protecting people, their skills, and the natural environment.

• RESPONSIBLY SOURCED COLORED GEMSTONES - colored gemstones sourced from artisanal miners (some of which are women) create sustainable local economies through vertical integration.

• LABORATORY GROWN DIAMONDS - not all laboratory-grown diamonds are climate-friendly. I only source lab-grown diamonds whose energy-intensive production is powered by renewable energy - specifically, powered by a solar plant within an hour drive from where the diamonds are grown and precision cut just outside of Surat in the western Indian state of Gujarat, India. Note that while laboratory-grown diamonds are economical, they will not hold their value.

$500 DEPOSIT includes

• a discovery call to explore gem options that align with your values, identify the budget, shape, and other considerations

• presentation of 2 - 3 options, depending on rarity

• this non-refundable deposit will be applied to the purchase of your selected diamond or colored gemstone

WHAT IS RESPONSIBLY SOURCED JEWELRY?

The phrase “sustainable jewelry” is problematic for many reasons and it may not mean what you think. Greenwashing is prevalent across all industries and the word has become ambiguous and overused.

A better, more holistic goal is responsibly sourcing. Beyond ethical, conflict-free, and traceable, this practice encompasses protecting people, their skills, and the planet. Ideally, this is achievable through vertical integration that enables remote, local economies to sustainably thrive.

Curating responsibly sourced gemstones for intentional bespoke jewelry

When it comes to sourcing gemstones for bespoke jewelry, the trusted partners I collaborate with provide as much information as possible about the who, where, and how of their materials.

THE PROVENANCE OF A GEMSTONE

For example, every gemstone sourced from Nomad’s has an accompanying Provenance Report. The origin is disclosed in 4 possible levels of traceability, with each level corresponding with a degree of certainty of information and history of the stone.

Demonstrating traceability to origin with a Provenance Report — A sample report outlining details of a single Nomad’s gemstone, as well as the history of origin and traceability story.

PRECIOUS METALS

For precious metals, this can mean using certified post-consumer recycled gold - or a step further is mercury-free Fairmined gold.

Choosing fine jewelry with Fairmined gold respects people and the planet

WHAT IS FAIRMINED GOLD?

Just as we know where our food is from and who made our clothes, why not the gold in our jewelry? Let’s compare recycled gold versus Fairmined gold…
