Diamonds with a Clear Conscience
Since 2017, Lilian von Trapp has opposed the environmental impact of diamond mining and proposes a luxury alternative to the lab-grown diamonds dominating the industry today.
Our philosophy is to engage in an environmentally sustainable, locally sourced, and ethically responsible ecosystem, from which our creations are born.
Why Vintage Diamonds Are Our Choice
LvT Vintage Diamonds are naturally grown diamonds. They have been formed deep within the Earth's mantle under extreme pressure and heat over millions of years.
Unlike mined diamonds, which are extracted through environmentally harmful methods, vintage diamonds have already been mined, and no new extraction or destruction of ecosystems is required. By reusing diamonds from the past, we reduce the demand for new mining, making vintage diamonds an environmentally conscious alternative.
How We Work with Vintage Diamonds
This process requires a complete ecosystem of certifications and experts who source the stones and rework them in a contemporary way - polishing, certifying, and classifying them. Similar to the use of gold, the value of these stones and their circulation through history regenerates in a cycle.
Each of our vintage diamonds is more than just a stone – it carries a piece of history, preserved and reimagined into a timeless, new creation.
Why Choose Vintage Diamonds Over Mined and Lab-Grown?
While lab-grown diamonds may seem like an eco-friendly choice, they still require significant energy for production, especially in the High-Pressure High-Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) processes.
In contrast, vintage diamonds are already in existence. They preserve the Earth's resources and are prized for their unique cuts and craftsmanship, reflecting the know-how and stiles of past eras.
The Lilian von Trapp Commitment to Sustainability
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the usage of vintage diamonds. We have always focused on ethical sourcing, using only recycled materials such as gold and platinum or vintage emeralds. Our careful approach to sourcing vintage diamonds and incorporating them into beautiful, modern designs allows us to offer eco-conscious and luxurious collections.
