GENTLY GROWN IS FOUNDED UPON AN APPRECIATION FOR SCIENCE, A COMMITMENT TO POSITIVE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, AND A VISION FOR A MORE GENTLE FUTURE.
Our founder, Britney, possesses both a deep-rooted love for science and a driving passion for positive change. Her journey into the world of gemstones began with research into silicon carbide (moissanite). This exploration soon extended to diamonds, sparking an equal fascination for both stones and inspiring her to pursue further education in the field.
However, Gently Grown represents more than just diamonds and moissanite. It embodies a commitment to positive change within the jewellery industry, offering a cleaner, more ethical approach to materials often associated with a challenging and complex past.
This dedication continues through Britney's work as the owner and head designer of Evelyn Frank Jewellery. There, she brings these remarkable stones to life, setting them in consciously crafted precious metals and designing pieces that celebrate the very gems that ignited her passion.

FAVOURITE DIAMOND SHAPE?
Radiant Cut, 100%! I'm sorry but all the work that goes into cut, and all them facets to make it more brilliant, how could you not?!
IS BIGGER ALWAYS BETTER?
NO! Whoever told Mariah Carey that a 34ct Emerald cut diamond looks good is not a real friend.
IF YOU WEREN'T IN THIS INDUSTRY WHAT WOULD YOU BE?
A rubbish collector, I suppose some plastic wrappers are pretty shiny and I would still be doing something towards the environment haha, but in all seriousness I have done many things in my life and this is by far my favourite!
DRINK ORDER?
Matcha Latte, with coconut milk.
Do you want my after hours order as well?
No... ok, Lychee & Gin Martini
