We only ever use solid 9ct gold and the highest quality solid sterling silver, everything required to be hallmarked is finished and hallmarked in the UK.
Nothing is base metal.
Nothing is gold plated.
Using cheap base metals means too much slow fashion jewellery ends up as general waste - by sticking to our ethics of only using quality materials that can be easily recycled or reused then we minimise our carbon footprint when we make our jewellery.
We only use casting manufacturers that have a trusted supply chain, the majority of which are based in the UK, and the few overseas suppliers we work with are registered with the Responsible Jewellery Council, operating under a strict code of practice with a certified chain of custody.
95% of our gold jewellery comes from recycled or sustainable sources.
50% of our silver jewellery comes from recycled sources and we are working towards making that figure 100% within the next three years.
We only mail our parcels in 100% recycled and recyclable envelopes and boxes that pop in your home recycling.
Our gift boxes are made of card so they can all be easily recycled with your household recycling. We are currently working on developing recycled inner pads for our boxes.
All our internal paperwork is printed on recycled paper and we work internally to ensure a low level of waste and sustainable use of materials.
All scrap and waste from our jewellery making is fully recycled, right down to the dust from engraving.
Even the little ZIP-LOC bags we need to use in the workshop from keeping jewellery tarnished prior to them being shipped are all re-used many times over before being recycled.
Our pricing and discounting policy
We don't offer lots of discounts or deals as we know our jewellery is great value, well priced and crafted to last.
Being a small business we work to tight margins in a very competitive marketplace. Maintaining our high standards, excellent service and small manufacturing team is more important to us than offering cheap mass produced designs, or compromising our quality to fit a price point.
