Skydiamond is the world's first carbon-negative certified diamond. We have created the ultimate alternative, by alchemising the air we breathe into light-splintering British-made diamonds.

Less is more when it comes to a diamond’s colour. A chemically pure and structurally perfect diamond has no colour at all. Skydiamonds are graded using AnchorCert’s scale going from D (colourless) to Z (light). Diamond colour is nearly impossible to discern with the naked eye and near colourless stones (G-J) offer superb value.
CLARITY: VS2
CLARITY: VS2
The purer the diamond, the higher its clarity rating. Clarity is determined by the nature, number, size and position of inclusions within a stone as well as any blemishes on its surface. Skydiamonds come in a wide selection of clarity ratings, which is reflected in the price.

The Gaia ring is mounted on a 18ct recycled yellow gold band to elevate the sculptural gold globe, split open to reveal a marquise cut Skydiamond suspended in a deep black rhodium plated space. These organic shapes feel familiar, tactile and might be imagined as the jewels of mother earth herself, or her blinking eye watching over us and how we care for her planet. Designed in collaboration with Lily Cole, who took her inspiration from Gaia, the goddess Mother Earth, and our interconnectivity between all things seen in the geometric and sculptural works of Swedish artist Hilma af Klint.
