Our Company

Perpetuum Jewels was founded on the premise that the traditionally obscure paradigm of the jewelry industry is to be disrupted, not by large enterprise, but by small community, grassroots efforts and independent voices.

Our Vision

A trade that is capable of informing every step of a gem's journey from mine to jewel.

A trade that guarantees adequate protection of natural resources, fair labor rights and opportunities to every human component in the distribution pipeline.

A more balanced profit equity for small mining communities.
