CONSCIOUS CHOICE

Monarc Jewellery founder Ella Drake is bringing aboveground diamonds to the New Zealand market for the first time with her new line of ethical engagement rings. Sourced from Diamond Foundry in California

(which counts Leonardo DiCaprio as a key investor), these diamonds are a sustainable and eco-conscious choice with a carbon footprint of zero. Formed through harnessing solar power, aboveground diamonds are structurally and atomically identical to mined diamonds and bear their own natural characteristics and inclusions.
