We are all part of the same life. Here is how we do our part to protect it.
Our micro-business model is itself a slow, respectful way of producing. We have our workshop and our pieces are all handmade by us. They are crafted to last.
We use recycled silver and a few semiprecious stones. Recycled silver has the same characteristics and value as the mined one but it is obtained from old jewellery or silverware.
We love stones but we have chosen to use a bare minimum of them. Mines are not nice to humans and to the environment. We have a small reserve of old pieces we bought years ago, so we occasionally use some but we avoid buying new ones.
We do not like businesses that green-wash their brands. We do our best but there are things that we still don’t do. Here they are.
The energy we use is probably not "green" and, for the moment, we can't change this.
We use metal boxes for our jewellery. They are precious and delicate and need proper protection. Our metal boxes will last for long, and can be used for other purposes.
We do not have a certification. As small artisans, we are and will probably always be too small to afford having one (and if you know the system, you understand why we keep away from it)
Most of our shipping materials are recycled or come from sustainable cardboard, but we keep an eye on new, better options.
