Gemstone Sourcing
Natural and created stones, chosen with intention.
Gemstones are at the heart of Adina Stone.
We work with both natural gemstones and created stones, giving our customers a considered choice between rarity, origin, colour and price point. Each stone is selected for the same reasons: beauty, quality, wearability and the way it brings a design to life.
Natural gemstones
Our natural gemstones are sourced from independent, family-led mining communities across the world.
These stones are formed by the earth, which means each one carries its own depth, colour and natural character. Small variations are part of their beauty. They are what make a gemstone feel individual, personal and rare.
Working with family-led mining communities allows us to support smaller-scale sourcing, traditional knowledge and livelihoods built around generations of gemstone expertise. It also gives us access to stones with character, rather than the uniformity of mass production.
Natural gemstones are for those who value origin, rarity and the romance of something formed over time.
Created stones
Alongside our natural gemstones, we offer a considered selection of created stones.
These are real stones, not glass and not cubic zirconia. They are lab-created using a composition closest to topaz, then finished in rich gemstone shades to reflect the colour and clarity of stones such as ruby, emerald or sapphire.
We choose created stones because they allow us to offer generous colour and clarity at a more accessible price point. They are also a thoughtful option for customers who want the beauty of gemstone jewelry with less reliance on new mining.
Created stones are not natural rubies, emeralds or sapphires, and we will always be clear about that. Their value lies in what they offer beautifully: colour, brilliance, durability and a more accessible way to enjoy statement gemstone jewelry.

Natural Diamonds
100% natural diamonds, thoughtfully repurposed
Our diamond pieces are made with 100% natural diamonds sourced from pre-loved jewelry.
Rather than using newly mined stones, we carefully select existing natural diamonds and reimagine them into new Adina Stone designs. These are real, earth-formed diamonds with history, beauty and permanence - made ready for their next chapter.
It is our way of preserving the authenticity of natural diamonds while making more considered choices in the way we create.
Why we choose repurposed natural diamonds
Diamonds are one of nature’s most enduring materials. Once formed, cut and polished, they can be treasured for generations.
By sourcing diamonds from pre-loved jewelry, we make use of precious materials that already exist. This allows us to create fine jewellery with genuine natural diamonds while reducing reliance on newly mined stones.
For us, sustainability is not about replacing one material with another. It is about being thoughtful with what already exists.
Natural, real and given a second life
We understand the appeal of both natural and lab-grown diamonds. Each has its place, and every customer will have their own priorities when choosing a piece of jewelry.
At Adina Stone, our choice is rooted in our love of authentic gemstones. We believe in the beauty, rarity and permanence of natural diamonds and we source them in a way that aligns with our values.
