Our Ethics
At Found Treasure we aim to be as ethical as possible, by hand-selecting our ethical gemstone and diamond dealers. We also work with 100% recycled fine metals and use an ancient carving technique called lost-wax carving, which reduces waste by forming the shape you need before casting.
Hallmarking
We are registered with the London Assay Office and all our fine jewellery is hallmarked. Our sponsored stamp, alongside the lasered hallmarks tell a story of the maker, metal, date and location to ensure the quality our designs. It’s the fine details that make all the difference.
Ocean Diamonds
We work with a company called Ocean Diamonds who source these rare and precious stones through scuba divers, collecting diamonds at the bottom of the ocean. These diamonds have journeyed through earth and rivers to reach the ocean and are 100% traceable.
Ethical Gemstones
Add a touch of sparkle and colour to any design. We source of green, blue and peach Sapphires via our strong connection with ethical suppliers based in Hatton Garden and hand-cut gemstones in Australia.

Due to the diamond’s traceability, there is a slight increase in cost. Our diamonds come with a GIA certificate and are of the highest quality.
-
We do work with Lab Diamonds, these diamonds are made from 100% carbon in a pressurised environment which is similar to natural diamonds. However, as these stones can be replicated they don’t hold their value the same as a natural diamond.

Our small female-owned business is based in Cornwall, and all of our designs are created near the ocean at our Falmouth based Studio.
