Ethical Jewellery
Ethical jewellery is consciously created jewellery with a fully traceable supply chain, made and mined without causing people or the planet to suffer. We source our metals and gemstones to have the least impact on the environment and only work with industries who treat their employees fairly and safely.
Unfortunately, mining for metals and gemstones has not always been done with consideration for the environment or human life. We’re proud to be part of a new wave of jewellers standing up to these antiquated practices.
The journey of jewellery, from mine to market, should always be traceable.
Metals
The Silver, Gold and Platinum that we use to make jewellery is either recycled or Fairtrade. Recycled metals are of identical quality to newly mined metals but they help avoid the environmentally damaging effects of mining.
We are licensed to offer jewellery that is made with Fairtrade gold and Fairmined Silver, this ensures that your item of jewellery does not come at the price of human or environmental suffering. The miners are adults working with fair pay, in safer conditions and produced with care for the environment.
Diamonds & Gemstones
We make sure that the diamonds we use are ethically sourced, using only conflict free diamonds from suppliers we trust. It’s very important to us that the diamonds we use are from legitimate suppliers, who are in compliance with regulations put in place by the United Nations.
Our coloured gemstones are responsibly mined and fully traceable. Guaranteed conflict free and conforming to the principles of full disclosure and fair trade.
Packaging
All of our packaging is recyclable and sustainable.
Our boxes are made from an FSC® Mix 70%, meaning 70% of of material comes from FSC-certified forests and 30% from recycled materials and other controlled sources.
Our inserts are a combination of card and refined wool felt, so we can happily say goodbye to non recyclable foam inserts.
Our jewellery pouches are made from fair trade cotton & even our stickers are bio-degradable!
Our postal box is made form FSC certified card, meaning it too comes from a well managed source. The void fill we use is a paper twist that not only helps protect our pieces from being knocked around in transit, they are also fully recyclable, compostable and reusable.
We only use suppliers that we trust, share our values and provide a service that reflects them. We aim to be fully transparent in our business practices and use suppliers who are to.
The jewellery industry is full of people working hard and constantly evolving to meet the ethical and sustainable expectations that we all need to strive towards.
Suppliers
This is the start of long journey for us, and one on which we will evolve and adapt alongside our own ethical practices, and those of the jewellery industry. We will continually look to improve and make a positive change, and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
