Greenland Ruby



Unearthed at a pristine location in the southwest of Greenland, the fiery rubies and pink sapphires in your jewelry are believed to be the oldest on earth, at nearly 3 billion years old.

Discovered in Aappaluttoq [Ah-puh-lu-tok], meaning RED in Greenlandic, each gem is unique and tells the story of its journey through time and temperature.

Gems are tracked and traced from the mine.

Greenland Ruby is proud to be a leader in responsible sourcing, transparency and traceability.

Each gemstone in your jewelry was tracked from the moment the rough crystals are mined, through polishing and cutting and all the way into your new piece of jewelry.

Greenland Ruby and affiliated business partners adhere to responsible Environmental Laws, Social and Human Rights Standards in accordance with the Government of Greenland Ministry of Resources.

Greenland Ruby founded the PinkPolarBear Foundation, which is funded by the company and its collaborators. The foundation is dedicated to global polar research across various fields, emphasizing the exploration of climate change drivers and their impact on both the island’s residents and the broader Arctic region. A portion of the sales generated by Greenland Ruby and its partners will be directed to this non-profit fund, guaranteeing a substantial and enduring contribution to the Greenlandic community.
