Ethics

OONA is deeply committed to ethical practices, ensuring that every gemstone is sourced from responsible, fair, and sustainable mines in Sri Lanka. By working directly with local communities and artisans, we support fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmentally conscious mining. Our mission is to preserve traditional crafts and promote sustainable development, creating jewelry that not only reflects beauty but also a commitment to ethical sourcing and social responsibility.

What Defines an Ethical Gemstone?

Precious stones began forming some three billion years ago in the depths of the Earth, and in ancient times, they were discovered almost by chance when they surfaced. Even today, the process of mining coloured gemstones remains largely unchanged from millennia ago, relying on persistence, manual tools, and human endeavour.
