About divinità

We make two stones behave well together.

divinità started because the jewelry we wanted didn't exist at a price we could defend. Jade you can actually verify, moissanite cut properly rather than cut cheap, and sterling silver that isn't plating over something else.

Four of us run it. We design the pieces, choose the stones, work with small ateliers to finish them, and ship them ourselves from the US. Free shipping, thirty days to change your mind.

The two stones

Moissanite

Henri Moissan found the first moissanite in 1893, in a meteorite crater in Arizona, and thought it was diamond. Natural moissanite is almost nonexistent, so every stone we set is grown in a lab.

It has a dispersion of 0.104 against diamond's 0.044 — more than twice the fire — and sits at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, which is hard enough that daily wear won't touch it. We set it high, with claws or a bezel, so light can get in underneath.

It costs a fraction of a comparable diamond. That's most of the reason people choose it, and we'd rather say so than dress it up.

Jade

Most jade on the market has been treated — bleached and resin-filled, or dyed. It looks uniform, feels slightly warm, and degrades over a decade or two.

Ours is untreated. That means uneven colour, visible fibrous texture in the light, and a cool, dense weight in the hand. It also means two pieces never match, which is worth knowing before you order a pair.

Ray selects every stone by eye, and rejects more of them than we'd like.

Both go into solid 925 sterling silver, rhodium-protected so it doesn't tarnish in a drawer. We don't use plated base metal anywhere in the range.

The team

Four people, no middle layer.

If you email us, one of these four answers.

Tulinh Tran

Co-Founder — Design

Tulinh draws the pieces. She started with jade she'd been given as a child and a stubborn idea that a symbol should look like it belongs on a person, not on a mood board. Every silhouette in the range starts on her desk.

Angel Wei

Co-Founder — Creative direction

Angel decides how the pieces are shown and how they sit — chain lengths, drape, proportion on an actual neck and wrist. If something photographs well but wears badly, she sends it back.

Jon Yee

Digital & customer experience

Jon runs the site and answers the inbox. Sizing questions, shipping, the odd request for something we don't make yet — that's him, usually within a day.

Ray Kim

Craft & operations

Ray handles stone selection and the ateliers. He's the reason jade gets rejected for uneven tone and the reason orders go out packed the way they do.

Wear what you mean.

Every order goes out with a card naming what the symbol on the piece has traditionally stood for. Not because a stone does anything on its own, but because a thing you look at twenty times a day is a reasonable place to keep a reminder.
