      Born from a desire to make diamonds more accessible and easy to wear, our made to order collection is organic and minimal in design, bringing a little understated luxe to your daily style. 

      We believe diamonds are far too beautiful to be reserved for engagement rings or special occasions which is why we have handcrafted stacking rings, pendants, stud earrings and hoops, all in 9ct gold. 

      Whilst we adore the rarity and uniqueness of natural diamonds, we are always trying to improve our sustainable and ethical practices which is why we chose to use only lab grown diamonds in this collection.

       

      Let’s explore the pros and cons of diamonds vs lab created diamonds...

      Natural Diamonds

      The traditional choice…

      Pros

      • Every natural diamond is completely unique and one-of-a-kind
      • Diamonds are extremely durable
      • Natural diamonds have a sentimental value to people and are the traditional option
      • Diamonds are still an important source of income for many small scale miners in the Congo, switching entirely to lab grown alternatives could disfranchise these communities.

       

      Cons

      • It’s difficult to trace with 100% certainty the origin of the diamond and the issues of conflict or blood diamonds are still very present
      • Even eco-friendly mines still create a significant carbon footprint and many of the practices used to mine diamonds have a negative environmental impact on the area

       

       

      Lab created diamonds

      Lab grown diamonds are created by using technology which replicates the earth’s natural diamond growing process which results in exactly the same physical and chemical properties as a natural diamond

      Pros

      • Lab grown diamonds are given the same certification and grading as natural diamonds
      • They are identical in composition and hardiness to natural diamonds
      • You can be sure of the ethical and sustainable qualities of a lab grown diamond

       

      Cons

      • Lab grown diamonds lose the one of a kind element that natural diamonds have as they are mass produced

If you’ve been a fan of Anvil and Ivy for a while, you’ll know we showcase our signature, organic freeform style throughout all our pieces enabling you to mix and match between collections knowing all theitems work beautifully together.

      Both new collections have been handcrafted in our Maldon workshop with each item individually formed ensuring no two are the same.

We’re very excited to announce this collection also features our first pair of huggie hoops. We know how much our customers love a pair of effortless and easy to style hoops and so we’re delighted to now offer these celestial huggies, they work great alone or worn with multiple piercings fora statement look.
