OUR GEMSTONE PROMISE

At Hope Noel Jewelry, we are committed to offering you authentic, high-quality gemstones that are ethically and responsibly sourced. 💎✨

Our Gemstone Promise:

  • Local Partnerships: 🤝 We work exclusively with trusted, local small businesses—relationships we’ve cultivated over the years to ensure exceptional quality and ethical sourcing.

  • American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) Membership: 🌿 All our suppliers are members of the AGTA, a nonprofit trade association dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity in the colored gemstone industry. AGTA members adhere to a strict code of ethics, ensuring transparency and responsible sourcing. 

  • Transparency & Ethical Sourcing: 🌍If you can’t trace where a gemstone comes from, chances are it wasn’t sourced ethically. Our suppliers work directly with miners and their families, ensuring a transparent and ethical supply chain. By choosing these trusted partners, we can be confident that the gemstones we use are sourced responsibly.

In the gemstone world, unethical mining and labor practices are, unfortunately, all too common. Many businesses have turned to lab-created stones as a result. I occasionally offer lab-created stones, but we primarily use natural gemstones. Lab-created stones are an option when affordability is a key factor, particularly for precious gemstones like sapphires and diamonds. At Hope Noel Jewelry, we stand by the beauty of natural, ethically sourced gemstones. While responsibly sourced stones may cost more, we believe it’s worth it—for the integrity of our craft, the well-being of those in the supply chain, and the beauty of the Earth’s natural treasures. ✨

Thank you for supporting a business that values ethics, quality, and transparency. đź’›
