Aether diamonds, like other lab grown diamonds, are identical to natural diamonds in every way, but they are created in a controlled environment using cutting-edge technology rather than deep below the earth's surface. Aether takes sustainability a step further with a patented process to transform air pollution into diamonds.
A thermochemical process is used to capture CO2, which is then purified and pumped into high-pressure cylinders for storage.
Captured CO2 is combined with green hydrogen to produce high-purity Atmospheric MethaneTM.
Atmospheric MethaneTM is pumped into specialized CVD growing chambers, where the diamond start to take shape, one ambitious atom at a time.
Once the diamond material has been grown, it is rough cut into small cubes. Advanced software maps the material and produces a cutting plan. From there, the stones are cut and polished using traditional methods.
Aether is not just a diamond, it is crafting a better tomorrow. The diamonds are more than just symbols of love and commitment - they are active participants in the healing of our planet. To become a caretaker of the future is to embrace environmental stewardship through all facets of life. Aether diamonds offer unparalleled traceability, from the point of initial carbon capture all the way through to final delivery. We meticulously track each carbon atom's journey, showcasing our commitment to transparency. It's a journey of transformation, a path we proudly share with our customers, ensuring that each Aether diamond you hold is not just a stone, but a milestone in our collective journey towards a more sustainable and transparent world.
Our diamonds are produced with 100% renewable power. We take power consumption and access to clean energy very seriously. That is why we have partnered with ClearLoop to fund the development of solar farms in parts of the US where the greatest economic and environmental benefits can be achieved.
Regular lab-grown diamonds are made from fossil carbon sources like methane gas and graphite, both of which come from the ground. The industry has simply traded mining for a different type of extractive process. Aether diamonds are made from 100% captured carbon, making them a lasting climate solution.
Combining direct air capture technology with diamond synthesis and powering the entire process with renewable energy allows us to go beyond carbon neutral and achieve a negative carbon footprint. That means for every diamond produced, there's a measurable reduction in atmospheric carbon.
As a certified B Corp, we are counted among businesses that are leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy. Aether's impact is more than just environmental. It's a call to action for a brighter, cleaner, and more sustainable future
No, lab grown diamonds do not fade over time. They maintain their brilliance and color permanently, just like natural diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds, so they have the same durability and longevity.
Advantages: More affordable, environmentally friendly, guaranteed conflict-free, identical quality to natural diamonds.
Disadvantages: Lower resale value, some traditional jewelers may not carry them, perceived as less prestigious by some buyers.
Yes, lab grown diamonds test as real diamonds because they are real diamonds. They have the same chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical properties as natural diamonds. Standard diamond testers cannot distinguish between lab grown and natural diamonds.
