Purchasing a Greenlandic ruby, sapphire or a jewelry from Kitaa.com will also give you a certificate of origin, which is your proof that the gemstone(s) originates from Greenland.
Equally important is the fact that the certificate is your documentation, that our organization fulfill the highest standards of working conditions, human rights, environmental impact, mining practices and product disclosure during the gemstones entire journey from mine to market.
We are able to do this because we only use Greenlandic gemstones extracted from the Aappaluttoq mine. From the moment the rock is broken in the pit area, it is possible to follow the gemstones through the value chain from cutting and sorting in Greenland to heat treatment, cutting and polishing in Bangkok, Thailand, until the gemstones are set in jewelry and returns to Greenland.
