My Values

What makes my jewellery design business ‘sustainable’?

Sustainability is very important to me, so I was very pleased to be included in Lizzie Rivera’s of Live Frankly’s list of ‘9 Best Ethical and Sustainable Jewellery Brand’, in her brilliant article for The Independent.

My aim is to create ethical handcrafted jewellery that is as sustainable as it is beautiful. Each piece of handcrafted jewellery I make is made using fully-traceable or recycled sterling silver, 9ct,14ct and 18ct gold. Where possible I re-use scrap silver and gold to create new work. I prefer not to use plating or veneers, as this process is also allied with a certain amount of waste. Plated jewellery will also fade over time, increasing the likelihood that you the wearer will lose your love for it.

In an age where we all want to be “a bit different”, and in an attempt to shun the mass-produced, I believe in quality over quantity - that is why my sustainable jewellery pieces are handmade to order. This enables me to minimise over-consumption of material/metals and waste.

I made a conscious decision 3 years ago to shun ‘fast fashion’ and as such, I have not bought any new clothing or footwear. Instead I create my style via charity shops, vintage fairs and online preloved selling platforms. This is also reflected in the eclectic nature of the jewellery I design.

The packaging I use is recycled and recyclable: from the gift boxes each piece is delivered in to the tissue paper the boxes are wrapped in. I also use recyclable packaging to post your orders in. Your unique handmade jewellery will arrive beautifully-packaged and ready for gift giving, complete with a drawstring cotton bag for storage.

Repair and Recycle

As part of my commitment to you helping you to love you handmade jewellery for longer, I offer FREE repair to any jewellery purchase from me. If you have any old silver or gold jewellery that you’d like recycle and made into something new, my bespoke jewellery service may appeal to you.

The Personal Touch

As a small business owner, I am alway appreciative of every customer that chooses to buy from my little shop and I try to show my gratitude by taking time to personal package every order. I am also happy to include a personal note with your order if you’re sending a gift to a friend or loved one, so feel fee to contact me before shipping. I believe that if someone sees the value in an item, they are more likely to treasure it and that’s got to be better for our planet.
