As of 2018, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) considers both lab-grown and mined diamonds to be true diamonds. The only difference between the two is the point of origin and its impact on the environment.

The naked eye cannot tell the difference between a lab-grown and mined diamond. Most trained gemologists cannot distinguish between a polished mined diamond and a lab-grown diamond without using advanced technology—traditional methods and machinery cannot differentiate between the two.

Since the inception of Sōl et Terre, our dream has been to make our planet a better place, one diamond at a time. This heartfelt commitment and unwavering dedication are at the very core of our mission. From the very start, Sōl et Terre has pledged 1% of our sales to charitable causes, and this promise continues to guide us.

At Sōl et Terre, we hold a deep belief in the remarkable power of our customers—the power to inspire hope, transform lives, stand up for those who cannot, and offer a helping hand to those in need. Through our platform, we empower our customers to choose the charity they wish to support from our four cherished NGO partners.

We are happy to share the impact we've generated this year with you and Jakarta Animal Aid Network, Lindungi Hutan, Plan Indonesia, and Sungai Watch.
