Materials: Sustainable and Ethical Sourcing
Diamonds from ethical Canadian dealers
Ethical sourcing of diamonds guarantees that the stones are not used to finance armed conflict. Our diamonds are sourced from select Canadian dealers that comply with the Kimberly Process Certification Scheme. Each diamond is hand selected for a V1-V2 clarity and F-G or greater rank on the colour scale.
Pearls from sustainable sources
Our jewellery uses real cultured pearls grown in freshwater and saltwater. Cultured freshwater pearls which are real and grown in lakes, ponds and rivers and come in a variety of lovely soft shades of white, pink, lilac and peach. Cultured pearls form in saltwater and are known for their lustrous nacre and clean surface quality. South Sea pearls, Tahitian pearls and Akoya pearls are considered more valuable than freshwater pearls.
Gold and sterling silver from sustainable refineries
Our gold is sourced from a Canadian refinery focused on environmentally sustainable manufacturing with an emphasis on recycled materials. We use 14KT and 18KT.
Our sterling silver is 92.5% silver weight and 7.5% other alloy usually copper.
Gemstones
We try our best to respect people and the environment. Our close relationships with Canadian gem dealers enable our team to select a diversity of unique quality gemstones that up hold this ethical approach to sourcing and purchasing gemstones.
Packaging with minimal environmental impact
The shipping box
By using packaging that is certified 70% or more from an FSC® forest, we insure that no more wood is cut down than the forest can reproduce. This means better protection of the animal- and plant life, and all foresters have proper training, safety equipment and a decent wage.
The jewellery pouch
Instead of using new, raw materials, existing plastic products are recycled to make our jewellery pouches The resulting environmental impact is therefore significantly lower.
Business Cards and tissue paper
We care for the environment right down to using recycled paper stock for our business cards and tissue paper
