OUR RESPONSIBLE PRACTICES
Every choice reflects our commitment to responsible practices. From sourcing conflict-free, recycled materials to collaborating with trusted partners who uphold the highest ethical and environmental standards, we carefully consider the impact of every step.
ETHICAL CRAFTSMASHIP
Endorsed by Fair & Good Ethical Directory
We work with a partner who holds the highest global certifications for ethical, social, and environmental responsibility. These certifications represent a commitment to responsible sourcing, fair labour, human rights, and environmental stewardship, ensuring every step of the supply chain meets the most rigorous standards.
All materials are conflict-free, responsibly sourced, and recyclable, with recycled metals used wherever possible. Through these thoughtful processes, we are able to reduce impact while creating jewellery that upholds the highest standards of craftsmanship, with respect for both people and planet.
SMALL BATCHES, BIG IMPACT
We produce in small quantities, a deliberate choice that minimises our environmental footprint while allowing for meticulous attention to detail in every single piece. This approach fosters deep collaboration with our partners, enabling us to create stunning jewellery with a positive environmental impact.
This philosophy promotes a more conscious consumption model, moving away from fast fashion and inspiring our community to invest in fewer, but better quality pieces.
A LIGHTER FOOTPRINT
We choose Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified papers and mailer envelopes over boxes or plastic, reducing our carbon footprint without compromising the safe arrival of your jewellery.
Our boxes are made from eco-friendly materials, and all other packaging materials are fully recyclable. Our signature velvet pouch is designed to be reused.
We’re continually refining our packaging practices, exploring new sustainable materials to further reduce our overall environmental 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 txhoughtful choices, mindful consumption, and a deeper connection to the jewellery we love.
