DRIPSHQ started in 2024 because the rules of fine jewellery had stopped making sense. A diamond engagement ring is now a five-figure decision — not because the metal is rarer, but because the supply chain is older. We thought we could do better. So we did.
The change moissanite made.
Moissanite is a lab-grown stone harder than any precious stone but the brand-new diamond. Optically brighter than diamond (refractive index 2.65 vs 2.42), more durable than sapphire, made in a lab without the human or environmental cost of mining a hole in the earth. We pair it with 925 sterling silver, with hand finishing, with a lifetime guarantee — and we sell directly to you.
The result is the same piece you would buy from a heritage house, for a tenth of what they would charge.
Same ice. Different supply chain.
— THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLE
The atelier.
Our atelier is small on purpose. A team of nine in Lagos, three in New York, two in London. Cast, set, polished, and inspected by people who have done it for a decade or more. We refuse to cut corners on the parts of a piece you cannot see — the metal under the stone, the inside of the band, the back of the setting.
Visits are by appointment. Email visit@dripshq.live to book.
Sustainability — what we actually do.
We use lab-grown moissanite, which means no mining, no water pollution, no displaced communities. Our packaging is FSC-certified recycled paper. We offset shipping carbon for every order with a verified carbon-removal partner. Our atelier runs on solar in Lagos and is in the process of certifying B-Corp.
We are not perfect. We will tell you what we are doing and what we still need to fix. The full report drops every March.
Press & recognition.
We have been written about in Vogue Business, The Cut, Highsnobiety, Hypebeast, and BellaNaija. Our 2025 collection was featured in the GQ Hype gift guide. Press kit and high-res images on request — press@dripshq.live.
What we are working on next.
The Engagement Edit is the start of a longer programme. Drop 05 is the watch line refresh, Drop 06 will introduce ear cuffs and second-hole earrings, Drop 07 is our first kids line. We are also opening a flagship in New York in 2027 if all goes to plan.
