ETHICS & SUSTAINABILITY
Ethics and sustainability can be a difficult subject when it comes to jewellery. Mining and production can have significant negative environmental and ethical implications. Like many small businesses, we're trying our best to make the world a better place through what we create, share and sell...
WORKING CONDITIONSAll work, including manufacture, marketing and fulfilment, is carried out in a safe working environment, using suitable PPE and with correct safety precautions being taken at all times. Materials are sourced from a UK-based supplier, where possible, which ensures safe working conditions and a fair, legal wage. MATERIALS All silver used in Studio Sol Jewellery is certified 100% recycled silver, whilst all gold vermeil pieces are made from 2.5-5 microns of 22ct gold plated onto recycledsilver in the UK. Likewise, all gold items are made from wholly recycled gold, and the pearls used are always reclaimed to minimise their impact on the environment, as are many gemstones. Tracing gemstones and ensuring their provenance can be tricky, and we are constantly working to find the most sustainable and ethical sources available.PACKAGING All packaging is plastic free. The bag used to store your jewellery is produced from organic cotton, whilst all other packaging is recyclable. Packaging items are sourced from UK businesses where possible.
