Today, I’m writing about my new favorite source for fine gems, Misfit Diamonds, whose gems are all ethically sourced from Canada. The stones – diamonds, sapphires, and spinels – all come from the Gahcho Kué mine in the Northwest Territories, right on the edge of the permafrost zone. Misfit Diamonds keeps a close eye on not just the conflict-free nature of their stones but also the ethical labor practices, working conditions, and environmental factors involved in the extraction of their stones.
They offer traditional cuts and stones, but what has really captured my imagination are their more unusual colors, cuts, and gems. I just can’t get enough! While they do only sell to the trade, there’s a list of retailers across the world that sell their beautiful gems, both in settings and loose.
You can learn more about Misfit Diamonds on their website and on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

Love the quarter moon shaped one about half way down. Haven’t seen that cut before.

Their cuts are so intriguing! I know the laws of refraction tend to govern the cuts used for most fine stones, but if you’re not so worried about reflected light, I guess you can go a little crazy!

They are all gorgeous but I especially love the gems with the smoky grey caste to them.

Those are my faves, too! I’m a fiend for salt and pepper diamonds.

I give up! After almost an hour, I give up. Seems none of the US links work to buy one. i was able to find their web site. I added one to my cart but was never told how much it was. So, if anybody finds out how much a small cut stone costs to buy, please post. They sure are beatiful. I do wonder if they are still in business.

I wrote to them. They only sell to jewelers and distributors. If you click on the retail link on their website, it takes you to a list of stockists. They are significantly less expensive than fine diamonds, but they’re still diamond priced. I fell in love with an 0.8 CT kite cut salt and pepper diamond, and their price is $1,077. That’s pretty reasonable. https://stagheaddesigns.com/collections/staghead-mine-misfit-diamonds/products/0-80ct-7-76×5-40×3-02mm-kite-rosecut-21872-05
