Our Commitment to Sustainability

Planting Mangrove Trees in Madagascar

For every piece of jewellery you purchase, we pledge to plant mangrove trees in Madagascar. This initiative is part of our effort to give back to the planet and support critical environmental restoration.

Why Mangrove Trees?

Mangrove trees play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Here’s why they are so important:

• Reviving Natural Habitats:

Mangrove forests provide essential habitats for diverse wildlife, including fish, birds, and other marine species. By restoring these forests, we help protect and nurture biodiversity.

• Improving Coral Reef Health:

Mangroves act as natural barriers, protecting coral reefs from sedimentation and pollution. This helps maintain vibrant and healthy coral ecosystems, which are crucial for marine life.

• Supporting Local Livelihoods:

Our reforestation efforts create employment opportunities for local communities, supporting sustainable livelihoods and fostering economic stability.

• Combating Climate Change:

Mangrove trees are incredibly effective at sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. By planting these trees, we help reduce greenhouse gases and combat climate change.

Partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects and thegoodapi.com

We have partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects and thegoodapi.com to ensure our reforestation efforts are impactful and sustainable. Eden Reforestation Projects is a renowned organisation dedicated to rebuilding natural landscapes destroyed by deforestation. Their expertise and commitment to sustainable reforestation make them the perfect partner for our environmental initiatives.

Sustainable Materials:

PVD vs. Gold Plating

In addition to our reforestation efforts, we are committed to using sustainable materials and processes in our jewellery. This includes our choice of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) over traditional gold plating.

Why We Use PVD

• Durability:

PVD coatings are much more durable than traditional gold plating. They are resistant to scratching, tarnishing, and fading, which means your jewellery will last longer and retain its beauty.

• Eco-Friendly Process:

PVD is an environmentally friendly process that produces minimal waste and does not involve harmful chemicals. This makes it a more sustainable choice compared to traditional gold plating, which often uses toxic chemicals and generates significant waste.

• Reduced Gold Usage:

PVD requires less gold than traditional plating methods, reducing the demand for gold mining. Gold mining can be environmentally destructive, leading to deforestation, water pollution, and loss of biodiversity. By using PVD, we minimise our environmental footprint.

• Hypoallergenic:

PVD-coated jewellery is hypoallergenic, making it safe for people with sensitive skin.

• Recyclability: 

All our PVD coated jewellery remains recyclable at the end of its lifecycle. The coating itself can be removed through specialised processes, allowing for the extraction and reuse of underlying materials without compromising quality or
