Our practices are guided by conscious choices, respect, and a mindful approach to creation.
ETHICAL CRAFTSMASHIP
Endorsed by Fair & Good Ethical Directory
Every creation begins with connection and thoughtful partnership. We work with a partner who shares our commitment to ethical, social, and environmental responsibility, ensuring fair labour, human rights, and mindful sourcing at every step.
All materials are conflict-free, responsibly chosen, and recyclable, with recycled metals used wherever possible. Through these mindful choices, we create jewellery that honours both people and the world around us.
SMALL BATCHES, BIG IMPACT
We create in small batches, a conscious choice that reduces our environmental impact while allowing us to focus on every detail with care.
By embracing this philosophy, we hope to inspire a slower, more mindful way of consuming—choosing fewer pieces, but better ones.
A LIGHTER FOOTPRINT
We approach our packaging with the same care as our jewellery. FSC® certified papers and mailers help us reduce waste, while our eco-friendly boxes and recyclable materials ensure everything can be enjoyed responsibly. Our velvet pouch is designed to be cherished and reused.
Our approach to packaging continues to evolve, as we discover new sustainable materials and practices that help reduce our impact.
OUR COMMITMENTS
We partner with a single, trusted manufacturer who support our makers through fair pay, benefits, mentorship, and training, while upholding ethical standards and certified practices.
We produce in small batches to reduce waste, ensure attention to detail, and create minimalist, season-less jewellery for everyday wear.
We use recycled and responsibly sourced metals, nickel-free and compliant with global safety standards, and encourage replating and warranties to extend jewellery lifecycles.
Our FSC-certified, recyclable, and reusable packaging minimises impact, and we work with ISO 14001-certified partners while continually refining practices to protect people and planet.
We provide guidance on caring for your jewellery and making considered wardrobe choices, helping you enjoy each piece responsibly while supporting ethical and environmental mindfulness.
We foster a community that values quality over quantity, encouraging intentional use and care of every piece. By slowing down and reflecting on the impact of what we wear, we aim to inspire thoughtful choices, mindful consumption, and a deeper connection to the jewellery we love.
Responsible Jewellery Practices at BY TONIN
At BY TONIN, sustainability and ethical craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do. Our demi-fine jewellery is designed in New Zealand using 18k gold-plated over sterling silver, and high-quality gold vermeil, and responsibly sourced gemstones like lapis lazuli and mother of pearl. We produce in small batches to reduce waste, support slow fashion, and ensure the highest quality. Our packaging is recyclable, and we’re committed to minimising our environmental impact at every step. Designed to last, our timeless pieces honour conscious living and mindful design—for jewellery that feels as good as it looks.
