THE JOURNEY OF OUR JEWELLERY
OUR SUPPLY CHAIN
Sourcing
Gemstones
We source salt and pepper diamonds, sapphires, lab grown diamonds, mined diamonds and tourmalines from suppliers across the globe. Sapphires sourced in Sri Lanka are typically cut in Sri Lanka, however Montana Sapphires and Australian Sapphires can be cut in their country of origin, or in India's expert cutting facilities.
Diamonds are mined in many countries including Botswana, Canada, Angola and South Africa. Tourmalines are found in Brazil, Kenya, Madagascar, Namibia and more. Both often find their way to Surat in India, the world capital of cutting-edge gemstone cutting technology, to be cut and polished.
Casting &
Metals
Most of our rings are cast at a state of the art facility. Using CAD (Computer Aided Design) technology, we're able to create 3D models of your piece so that it can be printed and cast to our exact specification.
Our suppliers use recycled gold, which is all classed as 'chain of custody', meaning that it's journey from earth to hand is ethical and fair. Platinum recycling is much less common place, although our supplier is working on this, with much of the platinum used in our pieces mined in South Africa.
We choose these suppliers due to their advanced facilities, and exceptional working conditions for their staff.
Setting, Polishing & Repairs
All of our centre stone setting, resizing and repairs are done by our trusted gemstone setter, Dimitar, and his team in London's Hatton Garden.
Dimitar trained in Bulgaria before moving to London to expand his skills. Learning from the best jewellers in the heart of London's jewellery quarter, he quickly gained a reputation for his exceptional craftsmanship.
We're incredibly lucky to work with Dimitar and his team. It allows us to invest in the future of the industry, and ensures each piece passes through the hands of one of the UK's finest craftspeople.
THE FINISHING TOUCH
ENGRAVINGS
Laser engraved in house, each piece receives its 'Flinn' signature, in addition to your personalised engravings.
Available with every piece of fine jewellery, you can include a special date, note or even a small simple image.
WHO ARE OUR SUPPLIERS?
We pride ourselves on working with only the most ethically sound gemstone creators, miners and traders who we have built long standing relationships with. That’s why, in 2024, four of our team members went on a trip to Hong Kong, Sri Lanka and India to meet with our gemstone suppliers to ensure they aligned with our commitment to responsible gemstone trading. During this trip these team members visited mines and offices, and spent time with members of these companies at all levels to make sure every worker was treated fairly and each gemstone comes to us from only the most ethically sound origin.
Earth Kind
Sourcing
We always aim to source our gemstones in the most eco friendly way possible, making sure gemstone mines aren’t too detrimental to the planet and opting for lab grown gemstones where possible.
Conflict Free
Zones
We only work with suppliers from conflict free zones, meaning you can wear your beautiful gemstone with peace of mind, knowing it hasn’t funded any form of conflict or violence.
Sound Working Conditions
All our gemstone suppliers have been vetted to ensure all their workers are treated fairly and work within a safe environment.
