Today, on The Forward Minds podcast, we spoke to the co-founders of Kimai - a Belgium-based jewellery brand that focuses on lab-grown diamonds. Sidney Neuhaus and Jessica Warch grew up together in Antwerp, also known as the diamond capital of the world, before relocating to London. It was here where they solidified their passion for sustainably-sourced jewellery and launched the lab-grown diamond brand, Kimai.
Neuhaus and Warch joined us to discuss the impact of mining and how lab-grown diamonds are physically and chemically identical, and without the negative social and environmental impact. Kimai was launched in 2018 and has successfully cut out the mines and middlemen for a more transparent and sustainable process from design to delivery.
