The price of diamonds

Not only are we moved by sustainability and ethics in our jewelry production, but we are mindful of cost, as well. I found it interesting to see in this weekend's New York Times a comparison of diamond costs based solely upon where you purchase. 

At Tula, our diamonds are 100% conflict-free and are sourced from small, family-run, local Los Angeles businesses!

From NYTimes:
"Color and clarity impact the price of a 1/2-carat diamond solitaire ring, but so does location, as evidenced by the price difference between Van Cleef & Arpels, on Fifth Avenue, and Solitaire Creations, a diamond-district standby."
