ETHICS & SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability & the jewellery industry are not two things that have always gone hand in hand. But with more transparency & a new environmental - centred approach that has been adopted over the years, the industry is now full of leaders paving the way for a more conscious future.

Whilst we & the wider industry still have further to go, below we discuss some options that we offer to our clients to make more sustainable choices & the actions we take to ensure that to the best of our ability & knowledge we are taking whatever steps we can to have less impact on our beautiful planet.

Fairtrade gold

The Fairtrade Gold Standard includes strict requirements on working conditions, occupational health and safety, handling chemicals, women’s rights, child labour and protection of the environment such as water sources and forests.

SINGLE MINE ORIGIN GOLD

SMO is the first to offer fully traceable, responsibly sourced gold at scale. We are the link between miners and buyers of gold. SMO gold is segregated from other types of gold throughout the entire supply chain. Every ounce comes with a QR code that traces its origins and journey. So our customers and their customers are safe in the knowledge that their gold comes from a responsible source.

USE YOUR OWN GOLD

Using your existing gold & diamonds can be a great way to revive old outdated pieces into stunning new jewellery that can be worn & enjoyed for another lifetime without the need for using new materials.

"We are at a unique stage in our history. Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet, and never before have we had the power to do something about that.” - SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
