Ethics

As maker and designer, I try to be as honest and transparent as I can in regards to sustainability and the environmental impact of my practice. It’s important to me in my personal life, so should be reflected within my work too.

For precious metal pieces, I use either Fairtrade or recycled alloys. The Fairtrade gold standard ensures that small scale miners receive a fair wage for their work, as well as safer working conditions with strict requirements on health and safety, handling chemicals, child labour, women’s rights and the protection of the environment. You can read more about this here.

I only use gemstones from suppliers who hold high standards in ethical and traceable gemstone sourcing.

My packaging is recyclable, with the exception of cotton pouches which are designed to be reused. Postcards and order cards are made from recycled paper, and business cards from recycled cotton t-shirts (which can be put into normal paper recycling).

I’d like all my pieces to be enjoyed and worn - so please get in touch if you require a service, polish or repair on something. You can also refer to the aftercare page for advice on looking after your jewellery to ensure they are taken care of properly.
