Avilan

Avilan has been providing an ethical, sustainable diamond choice since 2011, but as of July, 2012, we are officially certified as such. Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) assessed Avilan's processes and awarded us with the Responsible Source Certification, an award developed by SCS with 25 years of experience in the sustainable product trade. T... his means that Avilan has attained the highest level of sourcing responsibility in the eco-label industry. SCS has certified that Avilan diamonds and diamond parcels are 100% post-consumer and processed with fair labor practices. By selling only post-consumer diamonds, Avilan Storied DiamondsTM are free from the negative social and environmental impacts associated with diamond mining, meaning these diamonds are ethical and sustainable. Additionally, as a company, SCS has certified that Avilan has established a baseline use of energy, water, waste, and greenhouse gasses, and has made a commitment to reduce these uses over time. SCS also verified that Avilan has supplier screening and supply chain risk assessment practices in use. Avilan uses these screening and assessment processes to ensure that all of our diamonds are indeed post-consumer products, free from societal and environmental harm.
