Purchasing a jewelry from Kitaa – Gemstones of Greenland will also give you a certificate of origin, which is your proof that the gemstone(s) in your jewelry originates from Greenland.
Equally important is the fact that the certificate also serves as your documentation, that our organization fulfill the highest standards of working conditions, human rights, environmental impact, mining practices and product disclosure during the gemstone’s 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 those excat gemstones during the entire valuechain from clipping and sorting in Greenland, to heat-treatment, cutting and pulishing in Bangkok, Thailand, until the gemstones are set in jewelry and returns to Greenland.
