Ptak introduces eco-conscious collection

February 05, 2008

Mamaroneck, N.Y.—Those choosing to wear Gary Ptak's new collection will have a clear conscience about their purchase.

Ptak, a Mamaroneck-based jewelry manufacturer and Gemological Institute of America-trained gemologist, has launched the Conscience Collection, a line of colored-diamond jewelry that utilizes recycled metals and lab-grown diamonds and gemstones.

The line combines two trends: minimalist design in precious metals featuring colored diamonds, and the luxury jewelry market's movement toward being more socially and environmentally aware, also known as being "green."

Ptak said there are few differences between the lab-grown colored diamonds he uses in his pieces and diamonds that come out of the earth.

"These stones may have tiny inclusions, but for the most part, we have seen that they tend to have more brilliance than mined stones while bypassing the unfavorable social issues connected with stones taken from the Earth," he said in a statement. "In my opinion, they are as desirable as the most captivating stones taken from nature."

The Conscience Collection includes rings for men and women, earrings, bracelets and pendants.

The pieces are made in 18-karat gold in all colors, palladium or platinum—80 percent of which is recycled—with yellow, pink or blue diamonds.

Other gems, including rubies, emeralds and sapphires, are also available.

The Conscience Collection is a subsidiary of Gary Ptak LLC.
