A Thousand Facets

Jay Moncada from Perpetuum Jewels


Listen Later

Jay Moncada is behind perpetuum jewels, a supplier of antique diamonds and responsibly sourced gemstones. He has made his life purpose to educate himself and others on how to create a business that is environmentally responsible. He serves at the board of Ethical Metalsmiths and collaborates with pure earth!

Perpetuum Jewels was founded on the premise that the traditionally obscure paradigm of the jewelry industry is to be disrupted, not by large enterprise but by small community, grassroots efforts and independent voices.

About Ethical Metalsmiths:

EM is a community of caring buyers, jewelers, designers, and suppliers committed to responsible, environmentally-sound practices for all facets of the Jewelry Industry. Their mission is to inspire responsible jewelry practices through education, connection and action.

 

Perpetuum Jewels is a supplier member and supporter of this non-profit organization. We firmly believe this community offers the most diverse voice of professionals truly committed to an ever evolving sustainable practice and they represent the most positive outlook for all of the jewelry trade, from mine to consumer.

 

Jay serves as board member and Treasurer of Ethical Metalsmiths since 2018

 

About Pure Earth:

In collaboration with jewelry designers, we donate gems for jewels to be auctioned off during the yearly fundraiser by Pure Earth, a global leader in toxic pollution cleanup. Since 2017, Perpetuum Jewels has participated with Pure Earth to help raise over $100k to support their ongoing efforts in the cleanup and elimination of legacy pollution in the developing world, with great focus on lead and mercury alleviation.
