Your Beyond Brilliance diamond is from the Gahcho Kué mine, which adheres to the most stringent regulations and ethical mining standards.
Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine
Located in the Northwest Territories of Cananda, about 300 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife, and 230 kilometres south of the Arctic Circle, the Gahcho Kué mine was named as the largest and richest new mine in the world in 2016. Gahcho Kué was created in 1995 when a diamond-bearing pipe, called a kimberlite pipe was found. Two years later, three more kimberlite pipes were found, and recently a fifth pipe was discovered in the Gahcho Kué mine. It proved to be very economical with a promising diamond production.
Meaning ‘place of the big rabbits or hares’ in the local language, Chipewyan, the mine owners of Gahcho Kué operate under the strictest ethical regulations concerning the native indigenous people and local communities.
The mine owners are also committed to sustainable development concerning the environment, too, and have signed six Impact Benefit Agreements (IBA) for the Gahcho Kué mine, ensuring ethical production for each diamond.
