Materials
We prioritise using recycled metals, biodegradable materials and minimising waste.
Certified Recycled Metals
14k Gold
Produced in RJC-certified recycled gold. Known for its natural colour and enduring qualities. We use 14k Vermeil that complies with US standards and up to 5x thicker gold plate. With an added +2% cost of using certified recycled metals, this represents our commitment to circularity and longevity in all its forms.
Our gold-plated pieces have the same thickness of gold overlay as our Vermeil styles for durability.
Sterling Silver
Produced in RJC-certified recycled sterling silver. Each branding industry standard 925 hallmarks to ensure purity and quality. A timeless metal resource that transcends season to season. Hypoallergenic, nickel-free and enduring qualities that can be cared back to new.
Pearls
We work intently with partners who are traceable and ethically sourced. Through this process, we are choosing innately better quality baroque pearls. Each is one-of-a-kind and perfectly imperfect. With natural variations in forms and shapes, all are hand-drilled to ensure consistency and quality.
Gemstones
We only use gemstones that are 100% lifecycle retraceable. Our partners are focused on sustainably sourcing each back to the origin, only selecting the best quality stones. Each perfectly cut by machine and individually set by skilled artisans.
Packaging
Our packaging is created to be reusable. We utilise FSC-certified paper, recycled cardboard, eco glues & biodegradable tape. Printing and promotional materials are created locally using recycled paper/ cardboard.
Manufacturing
We work closely with our primary manufacturer who employs an 80% female lead workforce across all management & manufacturing levels. They've implemented numerous strategies to enhance sustainability and promote inclusivity in the workplace.
