Meghan Connolly Haupt: “Wear Your Commitment”

By Denise Tong

Those who know a bit about diamonds are likely familiar with the 4 Cs: cut, carat, clarity, and color. Meghan Connolly Haupt’s jewelry company, C5, introduces a fifth C into the equation: consciousness. 

Seeking to reduce the size of consumers’ environmental footprints, C5 offers fine jewelry that is produced in the United States with recycled metals and gems that are either ethically mined or lab-created (the two kinds are chemically identical). In addition to ready-to-wear retail jewelry, the company allows clients to custom-design their own jewelry through an extensive collaborative process. Loose diamonds and other precious gems are also available.
