A NOD TO OUR
BRACELET THAT
STARTED IT ALL

      In 2008, Diamonds Do Good launched
    with our iconic Green Malachite Bracelet.
The bracelet helped to raise over $1 million dollars
 for Diamonds Do Good. The bracelet was sold in
jewelry stores across the United States and helped
educate consumers on the positive impact natural
diamonds have on communities around the world.

THE VISION &
  THEME BEHIND
 THE NEW ICONIC
    BRACELET
 The need for unity and equality has never been
 more important and we have each grown in our
          own way through the last year.
    The inspiration behind this design should
 reflect each designer's personal journey and the
        theme of "growth, unity, equality."

                               EQUALITY
GROWTH
      UNITY
