Aether creates diamonds from the air, crafting beautiful gemstone-quality diamonds entirely from excess CO2 captured from the Earth's atmosphere. Aether's unique and patented process creates carbon-negative diamonds, making a climate-positive impact for each diamond made. In addition to the carbon they remove to create each diamond, Aether reinvests an additional 10% from each sale to sequester additional carbon.
Aether has recently completed initial brand activations with Mercedes-Benz and Riot Games. For Riot Games, Aether captured C02 at the recently completed League of Legends World Championship which will be used to create the diamonds for the championship rings. Aether has also recently released their first line of sustainable fine jewelry with the Bombé Collection.
Since the start of 2022, Aether has earned its B Corp certification, which solidifies its goals of actively contributing to a better and more sustainable future. They also completed an $18 million Series A funding round led by the global problem-solving organization Helena, along with several other investors, including Ashton Kutcher & Guy Oseary's SoundWaves.
