Sustainability
On an unshakable path to a sustainable future
We hold ourselves accountable so we can deliver on our promise to always lead a business that is ethical and responsible.
Minimising environmental impact is at the forefront of every decision we make. Planet and people have always and will always come before profit.
We instil sustainability and corporate responsibility into every aspect of our business. From the materials we use in our jewellery to the ecological initiatives we support, care for the environment is part of our DNA.
We’ve taken action from the very beginning so that our impact grows as we do.
What we're doing to protect the planet
We are carbon neutral:
We strive to limit the impact our business has on the environment. This is why we’re working hard to reduce or offset our carbon emissions through our entire business and processes. We’re incredibly proud to be Carbon Neutral Certified and verified by the four largest Carbon Certifications worldwide - Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Gold Standard Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER), UK and EU Emissions Trading Standard (EU & UK ETS) and the United Nations Certified Emissions Reductions (CER) programmes.
Responsibly sourced and ethical raw materials:
Gemstones and precious metals come at a high price to the planet. The lengthy process associated with sourcing and treating them can have catastrophic effects on both the ecosystem and the communities involved in mining them.
This is why we keep a close eye on our supply chain, only working with manufacturers using ethically sourced gemstones and lab-grown, conflict-free diamonds.
More than that, all our sterling silver is 100% recycled, which produces two thirds less CO2 than mined silver.

Eco-friendly packaging:
Mindfully crafted, inside and out. We have reinvented the unboxing experience to guarantee minimal waste. That means all our packaging is either reusable, recycled or recyclable!
Every order you receive will guarantee:
* A paperless dispatch: No unnecessary order forms or return labels are included in your order. Everything is done online!
*100% recyclable jewellery boxes
*Long live the pouch: We use regular organic cotton pouches or RPET pouches in our jewellery pouches. Both gorgeous, and re-usable!
And what we're planning to do next:
We’re working really hard to continue making a positive change to the jewellery industry. We won’t stop until all our metal is 100% recycled.
