A NOTE ON MATERIALS

How we choose them and where they come from <3

With a big concern for the for the climate and knowing out choices have impact, materials are chosen with a lot of care. We choose to design with natural materials wherever possible and work with independent makers who also support this way of working <3

Our beads are sourced from a supplier in London is a members of and holds a certificate from the responsible jewellery council. The following is from their website: "RJC (responsible jewellery council) is the global membership and standards body for responsible jewellery throughout the entire supply chain - from mine to retail. Our 'Code of Practice' references key development frameworks, including Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO Principles and UN Global Compact and Sustainable Developtment Goals (SDGs)."

JEWELLERY FINDINGS

Our jewellery findings (gold filled toggles and closures) are from a UK company who support ethical and sustainable practices: "We have written assurances from our manufacturers that they are committed to a policy and due diligence process of only using gold which has been ethically sourced and conflict free. The vast majority of our gold and silver products are made from metal which has been recycled and our manufacturers are committed to a policy of using recycled metals wherever feasible. However, as demand for gold and silver has increased the supply of recycled metals has decreased and manufacturers are hesitant to promise that every single gram is recycled."
