PRODUCT
ETHICAL SUPPLY CHAIN
All our suppliers are verified by accrediting bodies designed to audit their ways of working and we opt for materials that come with documentation to show their origin.
All our metal suppliers are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council and we source our gold from suppliers licenced to supply Fairtrade precious metals with chain of custody certification.
Our coloured gemstone suppliers are members of the International Coloured Gemstone Association, with our primary supplier being an Accredited Ethical Member.
All our diamond suppliers work within the parameters of the Kimberly Process and World Diamond Council System of Warranties, and we are also transitioning to using exclusively GIA certified diamonds and lab grown diamonds in our bespoke commissions to verify their provenance.
We have started to source Aquamarines from Zimbaqua, the world’s first sustainable mine empowering women in rural communities through mining.
PACKAGING
All our jewellery comes in plastic free packaging and our bags and boxes are made using recyclable, responsibly sourced paper from well managed forests. Our jewellery pouches are crafted from a strong suedette material and are designed to be reused for jewellery storage.
ECO PACKAGING
We promote an eco-packaging option in store and online to reduce the volume of packaging we use. In 2022, this resulted in a saving of 1.49 tonnes of packaging.
THE GIVE BACK & GROW INITIATIVE
We now offer the Give Back and Grow Packaging Initiative. Bring back your used packaging, and we’ll plant a tree on your behalf.
OUR MATERIALS
RECYCLED SILVER
Elegant and versatile, sterling silver offers timeless beauty with a bright, polished finish. Perfect for those who want style and quality without compromise – an excellent choice for everyday elegance. 99.7% of our jewellery uses recycled sterling silver, which contributes 66.6% fewer greenhouse gases than mined silver.
PRECIOUS STONES
From diamonds to sapphires, tourmalines to citrines, our jewellery features a curated selection of responsibly sourced gemstones from trusted suppliers who are proud members of the International Coloured Gemstone Association. We have also forged an ongoing partnership with Zimbaqua, the first all women mine in Africa.
RECYCLED GOLD
Radiating warmth and charm, yellow gold strikes the perfect balance between beauty and strength. Its lighter composition makes it wonderfully durable for daily wear while retaining the classic golden glow we all love. 99.7% of our jewellery uses recycled gold, which contributes 99.8% fewer greenhouse gases than mined gold.
LAB GROWN DIAMONDS
Created using cutting-edge technology, lab-grown diamonds offer the same stunning sparkle, chemical composition and durability as natural diamonds. Ethically sourced and environmentally conscious, these certified diamonds are a modern, responsible choice without compromising on beauty or brilliance. A perfect blend of innovation and elegance.
ZIMBAQUA
We are incredibly proud to partner with ZImbaqua, the world's first sustainable, all women mine in Africa. A selection of our beautiful One of a Kind pieces are made using traceable, sustainably mined aquamarines from Zimbaqua - an organisation dedicated to empowering communities and redefining ethical mining through transparency, sustainability and environmentally-conscious practices.
CERTIFIED DIAMONDS
Formed deep within the Earth over billions of years, natural diamonds are rare treasures that symbolise enduring love and timeless beauty. Each one is unique, with its own natural character and brilliance. Certified for quality and authenticity, natural diamonds carry both emotional and intrinsic value – making them perfect for heirloom pieces and life’s most meaningful moments.

From creating jewellery with recycled gold and silver and responsibly sourced diamonds, to maintaining rigorous supplier accountability and certifications, the company demonstrates integrity at every step. Their efforts go beyond materials, with carbon footprint assessments, renewable energy adoption, and partnerships that support community and environmental projects.
