Gemstones with a conscience are all the rage these days, so whether you’re still looking for the ring, or you have your eye on a sparkly pair of matching earrings, you should definitely consider a diamond that does double duty. Fortunately, thanks to Birks’ recent partnership with Diamond Manufacturing Botswana (DMB), your bling can do a world of good. Botswana is actually the world’s leading producer of gem diamonds, and by choosing a Botswana Diamond, you are helping to create jobs, build housing and improve the health of Botswana’s citizens, and you can rest assured that the stones themselves were mined in an ethically sound manner. The Birks Botswana Diamond collection includes solitaire engagement rings, earrings and pendants set in platinum and 18 karat white or yellow gold. As with all other diamonds at Birks, Botswana diamonds are priced according to size and setting, with engagement rings starting at $3,500 for .30 carats. For more information on this collection, visit a Birks location near you (birks.com).
