ORIGIN TRACEABILITY
Every diamond tells a story, and at ALTR, that story begins with Responsibility.
From the moment a seed is prepared and a diamond is created, we ensure Origin Traceability. Every diamond's journey is documented and verifiable, assuring our clients that the beauty they wear is backed by transparency and integrity. Knowing the story behind a diamond adds depth and meaning to every piece we craft.
ETHICAL STEWARDSHIP
Our commitment to Ethical Stewardship enables us to put people and communities at the heart of our processes.
Fair treatment, safe working conditions, and respect guide every relationship with our artisans, partners, and suppliers. This dedication ensures each diamond embodies more than its material value, serving as a mark of care, trust, and accountability. More than just a journey of these technical stuff, its about the journey that diamond has been through and the hands it has touched, encompassing the story of each person, and is passed down adding value to its journey and provenance.
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION
Powered entirely by 100% renewable energy, ALTR blends traditional techniques with thoughtful, responsible practices. Every ALTR diamond uses less than 25% of the water required for an earth-mined stone, while recycled gold and sterling silver reduce the need for virgin metals and their climate impacts. By avoiding fuel-intensive mining, water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and harsh refining processes, ALTR creates jewelry that is both exquisitely crafted and environmentally conscientious.
NET ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT
Luxury should never compromise the planet. ALTR has become the first diamond‑sector producer to achieve a 100/100 Sustainability score, reaching a true Net‑zero Carbon Footprint, a historic milestone in Responsibility.
Certified to SCS-007 standards, every aspect of our operations, from energy and manufacturing to logistics, is engineered to minimize emissions and environmental impact. Each diamond we craft carries this commitment.
SUSTAINABILITY INVESTMENTS
We understand that meaningful change extends beyond our workshops. Through sustainability investments, we actively support initiatives that empower communities, advance responsible technologies, and strengthen environmental and social systems across the industry.
Our work is designed to leave a lasting legacy, proving that true luxury is measured not only in carats but in positive impact.
