1. The Thoughtful Approach Behind Our Packaging
We believe that great design goes hand-in-hand with conscious choices. That’s why our packaging is not only made to protect your unique jewellery but also to reflect our commitment to the environment. Here’s how we ensure our packaging is as thoughtful and creative as the pieces it holds.
100% Recyclable and Reusable
We’ve chosen materials that are 100% recyclable, so when you’re ready to dispose of the packaging, you can do so responsibly. But more than that, our packaging is designed to be reusable. Whether you repurpose the stylish leatherette pouch for storing jewellery or small items, or keep the sturdy box for other uses, we aim to reduce waste by making our packaging last.
Responsibly Sourced with FSC Certification
We’re committed to sustainable sourcing, which is why our packaging materials are FSC certified. This certification guarantees that the materials come from responsibly managed forests, supporting environmental preservation. Choosing FSC-certified packaging means we can help protect natural ecosystems while offering a quality product that aligns with our values.
Local Production to Lower Our Carbon Footprint
Our packaging is produced with sustainability in mind. The leatherette pouch is crafted in Denmark, and the box is made in the UK, both by suppliers who share our commitment to sustainable practices. By sourcing locally, we significantly reduce transport distances and offset carbon emissions associated with our packaging, helping to keep our environmental impact to a minimum.
Designed for Durability and Style
We understand that packaging should do more than look good—it should keep your jewellery safe. Our packaging is carefully designed to offer the right balance of protection and style, ensuring your jewellery arrives in perfect condition and creating a memorable unboxing experience. It’s a thoughtful blend of practicality and creativity, just like our jewellery.
Conscious Choices for a Better Future
Our approach to packaging reflects our dedication to conscious and creative practices. By prioritising recyclable materials, responsible sourcing, and local production, we’re taking steps to make a positive impact on the environment. When you choose our jewellery, you’re supporting a brand that values sustainability as much as design.
We’re proud to offer packaging that aligns with our principles and our passion for creativity. Together, we can make a difference—one beautifully packaged piece of jewellery at a time.
2. Our Commitment to Sustainability: Planting Trees with Every Order
We’ve partnered with Ecologi, an organisation focused on reforestation. Now, with every order, a tree is planted, contributing to a greener future.
Why Ecologi?
Founded in 2019, Ecologi leads in tree planting and ecosystem restoration, sharing our commitment to making a real, positive impact on the environment. Each tree planted through our partnership helps restore habitats, support biodiversity, and absorb CO2.
Tracking Our Impact
We value transparency, so Ecologi provides updates on the tree planting projects we support. You can track the number of trees planted and see the environmental impact of your purchases.
Join Us in Making a Difference
Our dedication to sustainability drives everything we do. By choosing our jewellery, you’re supporting global reforestation efforts and helping create a brighter, more sustainable future. Together, we can make a lasting impact, one tree at a time.
3. Materials We Use
We craft our pieces using natural materials such as stainless steel, sterling silver, crystals, pearls, and glass. We avoid using plastic or acrylic materials. Our gold-plated items feature 18-carat gold PVD plating, ensuring long-lasting quality and lustre. After extensive research and testing with various durable metals, we found that stainless steel met our high standards. Unlike many materials commonly used in jewellery, we use 316L stainless steel, a metal renowned for its exceptional durability and recyclability. This hypoallergenic material is resistant to oxidation, rust, scratches, and tarnishing, making it ideal for long-lasting jewellery.
Thank you for supporting our journey towards a greener world.
