Sustainable Jewellery: Ethical & Environmental

Our unique jewellery designs are crafted by hand. Each design is made to last ensuring your precious piece can be worn and enjoyed for a lifetime and more. We create treasures that can one day to be passed down to future generations.

In order to minimise our impact on the environment, we only ever use high-quality 100% recycled sterling silver and gold in our workshop ♻️ All of the metal used in our workshop is also nickel free. 

By choosing recycled precious metals, we play a small part in reducing demand for mined ore. Mining metal ore not only damages plant life but also displaces wildlife. For this reason, all of our jewellery is made from pre-loved pieces and leftover silver and gold. These are melted down to create beautiful shiny new jewellery.

Our trusted gemstone supplier is fully certified by the non-for-profit Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) and strictly operates under the Kimberly Process.  Our diamonds are ethically sourced from conflict free zones.

We also offer a wide variety of alternative gemstones including lab created diamonds. Contact us directly to explore your options.
