The Responsible Choice
Our jewellery is Conflict Free and Eco-Friendly and when purchasing an item from us you can be sure you are not contributing to any unethical procedures.
When buying new jewellery you can never be 100% sure that they are not conflict free.
Choosing vintage means:
- you are buying conflict-free
- you are not contributing in any way to a locally destructive cycle of violence, warfare, economic inequality, exploitation and human suffering
- you can have total confidence that your money is not supporting industrial practices that destroy the environment, poison the land or displace disadvantaged people
- you are helping to eliminate the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds and precious stones
- your item most likely predates any regional conflicts associated with the diamond trade and precious gemstone mining
- you will be reducing your carbon footprint
- you are acting as conservator rather than consumer
