The best way to dive into the Aether is to check out our process page, which walks you through the unique process for creating our diamonds. You can also follow us on social media @aetherdiamonds, and if you’re still craving more information, we recommend taking a stroll through our Press page.

Absolutely. That's what makes them the rarest diamonds you can buy. We're proud to be the first company ever to offer gemstone quality diamonds made entirely from air. Read more about how we create our diamonds on our Diamonds Made From Air page.

They really are. We ensure that our production process is carbon neutral by using clean energy wherever possible and using high quality carbon offsets for anything else. Then through our patented process to convert captured carbon into diamond, the carbon physically sequestered in the diamond makes the product carbon negative.

Absolutely. The composition of our Atmospheric Lab-Grown Diamonds is identical in every way to a mined diamond except where they come from and we think that makes them even more special.

Worry not. The conflicts come from the mines, not from the air. When you buy a diamond from Aether, there’s no risk of supporting corrupt governments or unfair working conditions. Despite the often touted "conflict-free" labels, mined diamonds can have other types of conflict besides labor practices, including impact to surrounding communities and ecologies, severe environmental consequences, and funding of governmental regimes. We are here to help shape a radically different reality for the diamond industry.

Every Aether diamond comes with a full grading report from the International Gemological Institute, the world's largest and most trusted independent laboratory for testing and grading diamond gemstones.
