We may not be perfect but we're making progress. We recognize our responsibility to maintain the highest ethical standards in every facet of our brand.
When you choose our sustainable and ethical jewelry, you're choosing a worry-free experience, conflict-free materials, ethical manufacturing, and female empowerment.
We aim to create high-quality, long-lasting jewelry that you can wear for years to come, supporting conscious consumption.
All about the P's - product, people, planet, process, and practice.
All our sustainable jewelry meets the European Union’s REACH (Restriction, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) regulation, which restricts hazardous substances and reduces the amount of harmful chemicals in the environment.
Our products have a base metal of recycled silver collected from qualified jewelry manufacturing plants globally.
A precious metal that can be endlessly regenerated without loss of quality, is a true sustainable luxury.
As a member of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), our manufacturer can guarantee that there is no child labor, no discrimination, decent working hours, a living wage, and occupational health & safety in the factory your jewelry is made in.
There's also nothing we're more proud of than the women in our workplace. Our manufacturer has 73% female workforce. While at Penny Pairs, the team is 88% female. We strive towards gender equality and lessening the pay gap.
By using recycled silver, we minimize the need for further mining, waste (less CO2 emissions than of mined silver) and pollution, for a smaller environmental footprint.
We work exclusively with our trusted suppliers who guarantee ethical sourcing of our materials (including chains and gemstones). We only use conflict-free lab grown crystals and cultured pearls.
Our manufacturer is listed on the LBMA's (London Bullion Market Association) Good Delivery List, the global authority on precious metals. They are also a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).
We do our best to practice what we preach - from prioritizing ethical jewelry to keeping plastic out of our packaging to trying to reduce our company’s carbon footprint in small ways.
To lessen waste and overproduction, we produce our pieces in small batches.
To promote conscious shopping, we encourage our community to avoid impulse buying, instead choosing pieces you’ll use again and again.
We only want to make a positive impact because we believe that you and the earth deserve the best.
But we know that designing sustainable and ethical jewelry is just the first step, so we're committed to always listening and always learning.
