Frequently Asked Questions
Carat Vs Karat
Karat and carat are different units of measurement for jewelry. Karat measures gold purity, while carat measures diamond and gemstone weight.
Gold is soft, so alloyed with metals to strengthen. Karat measured in parts of 24. 24k is pure gold at 24 parts. Other values have varying gold purity. 18k = 18 parts gold, 14k = 14 parts, 12k = 12 parts, etc. 9k is lowest, but 14k is often chosen for style and durability.
Sustainability & Ethics
Ethical Luxury, by Design
At Thenetjeweler, sustainability isn't a trend — it's been woven into our practice since 1967. For over 50 years, we've believed that fine jewelry should be beautiful and responsible. Today, that commitment is expressed through every lab-grown diamond we set and every piece crafted in our Montreal atelier.
Lab-Grown Diamonds: Zero Mining Impact
Lab-grown diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined diamonds — the only difference is how they're born. Created in controlled environments using advanced technology, they require no open-pit mining, no habitat destruction, and no displacement of communities.
- Zero mining footprint — No earth is moved, no ecosystems disturbed
- Significantly lower carbon footprint — Lab-grown production uses a fraction of the energy and water of traditional mining
- 100% conflict-free — Every diamond we use is traceable and ethically sourced, with no ties to conflict regions
- Certified & transparent — Each stone comes with full grading documentation so you know exactly what you're wearing
Lab-grown diamonds aren't a compromise — they're the future of fine jewelry.
Montreal Craftsmanship: Made Close to Home
Every piece in our collection is designed and crafted in Montreal, Québec. Local production means:
- Reduced shipping emissions — Your jewelry travels far less distance from bench to box
- Support for local artisans — We employ skilled craftspeople in our community, preserving traditional goldsmithing techniques
- Tighter quality control — In-house manufacturing means we oversee every step, from stone setting to final polish
- A smaller supply chain — Fewer hands, fewer miles, less waste
When you choose Thenetjeweler, you're supporting a local business with a global conscience.
Conflict-Free, Always
We have never sourced mined diamonds from conflict regions, and we never will. Our shift to lab-grown diamonds takes this commitment further — eliminating the risk. Every stone is selected with full traceability and ethical sourcing documentation.
Our Promise
Since our founding in 1967, responsible jewelry has been our standard — not our marketing. We're proud to offer pieces that you can wear with pride, knowing they reflect your values as much as your style.
