2022 Mission Report

Our Beginning

An Ethical Approach

When we couldn’t find a standard that met ours, we created a new one. We started by creating a rigorous protocol for diamond sourcing that goes beyond current industry practices: Beyond Conflict FreeTM Diamonds which are selected for their ethical and environmentally responsible origins.

We were one of the first jewelers to offer blockchain-enabled diamonds at scale, to provide traceability of a diamond’s origin and ownership. Choosing a riva diamond offers unparalleled transparency of your diamond’s provenance.

We strive to use 100% recycled precious metals to minimize our footprint and help diminish the negative impacts of metal mining. Precious metals can be recycled repeatedly without degrading their integrity, which means we don’t compromise quality or beauty to make sustainable jewelry.

OUR CRAFTSMANSHIP

Design Sets Us Apart

Our number one goal is to make incomparably beautiful jewelry, just for you. At our San Francisco design studio, our team designs every piece to delight you, from the first time you see it and every day after. We carefully consider the entire piece—the artfully tapered prongs; the hidden accents under the center gem; the precisely curved interior of each band. We obsess over comfort, quality, and durability to ensure that this is jewelry you will cherish for a lifetime.

“Sometimes you think you've found love, when it's really just one of those objects that are shiny in a certain light--a trophy, say, or a ring, or a diamond, even. Glass shards, maybe. You've got to be careful, you do. The shine can blind you. The edges can cut you in way you never imagined. It is up to you to allow that or not.” ― Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming
OUR COMMITMENT

Giving Back

Caring about the planet and its people is part of who we are. That’s why we established the riva Foundation, a donor-advised fund, focused on three critical areas – Responsible Sourcing, Social Impact, and Climate Action.

We contribute to programs that are dedicated to improving social and environmental practices, including Feeding America, the Rainforest Alliance, and the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. We support initiatives for education & vocational training; fair mining practices; protecting children from child labor; and restoring land that has been destroyed by unregulated mining.

In 2015, we helped fund the riva Mobile School in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This offered an education and a safe place for kids, who otherwise might have been working in the diamond mines.
