## About

Based in New York, US, and founded in 2018, Impossible Diamond, Inc., trading as Aether Diamonds, operates as the creator of diamonds made from atmospheric carbon. Ryan Shearman (CEO) and Daniel Wojno (COO) are the co-founders of the company. In March 2022, Impossible Diamond, Inc. raised USD 18 million in series A funding co-led by new investors Helena Capital and TRIREC, with participation from other new investors.

The company manufactures carbon-negative diamonds, which are used to turn atmospheric carbon into exquisite jewelry. Customers can experience luxury wearables while contributing to society and the environment since the company absorbs CO2 from the air to generate diamonds that are physically and chemically equivalent to mined diamonds.

Its diamond categories include engagement rings, rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and custom.

The company plans to use the series A funding to accelerate its carbon utilization technology.
