LOEV: Bold jewelry with uncompromising ethical practices

LOEV is a jewelry brand founded in 2022 by Niels Schaefer and Taryn Steinberger, a brand built from the conviction that bold, contemporary jewelry and uncompromising ethical practice are not in tension but inseparable. Every piece is set with lab-grown diamonds and precious gems grown using renewable energy, in recycled precious metals. LOEV is a certified B-Corporation, part of the global movement using business as a force for good, and holds commitments across governance, environment, community, and justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The opening edit

A Danish connection brought us LOEV, ambitious from day one. Swiss lab-grown diamonds, fully traceable, in designs built for impact, not convention.

LOEV works exclusively in recycled precious metals set with lab-grown diamonds and precious gems created using renewable energy, a material choice that is as considered as the design itself. Lab-grown diamonds are physically, chemically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, possessing the same hardness, sparkle, and fire, and should be purchased with the same care and attention to quality.

The aesthetic is bold and contemporary, blending art and technology in a way that sets the brand apart from conventional fine jewelry. The creative approach is deliberately forward-looking: not a replication of traditional forms but a genuine rethinking of what luxury fine jewelry can look and feel like.

LOEV was founded in Switzerland in 2022 by Niels Schaefer and Taryn Steinberger, driven by a shared passion to revolutionise the fine jewelry industry from the inside. The brand was built around an unusual combination of commitments, bold design, full material transparency, and a level of ethical rigour that goes significantly beyond industry norms. LOEV's B-Corporation certification is the clearest expression of that: a legally verified commitment to meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

Staying true to your values is the ultimate luxury.

Niels Schaefer & Taryn SteinbergerCo-founders

A Danish connection brought LOEV and us together, and even in its earliest days, the ambition was sky-high: lab-grown diamonds from Switzerland, held to the highest, fully traceable standard, in designs built to be bold, never boring. Not conventional — built for impact. LOEV's cool aesthetic and craftsmanship made the fit obvious from the start.
