Beautifully packaged, sustainably delivered. In the commitment to sustainability, I understand the significance of eco-friendly packaging. I believe that a truly ethical journey involves every step, from creation to delivery. Here's how we're leading the way:
My dedication to the environment doesn't stop with just jewellery. All of the postal packaging is eco-friendly. I use recycled materials wherever possible while maintaining the high luxury standards that align with the jewellery creations.
My luxury jewellery boxes are more than just containers; they are statements of my commitment to the Earth. Crafted with care, I use eco-conscious materials like recycled plastics and high-quality recycled leather. The packaging includes FSC®-certified paper.
The use of FSC®-certified paper guarantees my commitment to protecting wildlife and forests. It ensures fair labor practices and respects nature by guaranteeing that no more wood is harvested than can be naturally reproduced. This ethical certification stands as a testament to my dedication to doing what's right for the planet and its inhabitants.
Crafted with Values. At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, the metals I use in my pieces uphold not only beauty and quality but also ethical values. Learn how
For all wedding rings, I set a high standard by using recycled gold. It's a fundamental choice that aligns with my sustainability commitment, giving you not just beautiful rings but also an eco-conscious choice that reduces the need for further mining.
When it comes to jewellery, the choice is yours. My entire collection is available in Fairtrade Gold. This remarkable option allows you to take your ethical commitment a step further. You can choose from 9ct, 18ct, and 22ct gold, in all colours, to perfectly match your style.
By choosing Fairtrade Gold, you make a significant positive impact. A portion of your purchase goes directly to benefit miners and their communities.
In addition to this, it guarantees the safety of miners and ensures a minimum age requirement, setting the gold standard for responsible sourcing. Fairtrade gold mines also prohibit the use of hazardous chemicals during mining – a stark contrast to less-regulated mines that pose serious health risks to miners and the environment.
At Poppy Elder Fine Jewellery, you have the power to make a meaningful choice with every piece you wear, supporting ethical values every step of the way.
Sustainable and ethical jewellery is important for several reasons. First and foremost, it ensures that the environment is not harmed during the extraction and processing of metals and gemstones. Ethical practices protect workers' rights and promote fair wages, safe working conditions, and responsible mining.
Furthermore, sustainable and ethical jewellery helps prevent the trade in conflict diamonds and gemstones, which can fund armed conflicts and human rights abuses in certain regions. It allows you to enjoy beautiful pieces with a clear conscience, knowing that they aren't contributing to these issues.
By choosing sustainable and ethical jewellery, you support the livelihoods of small-scale miners and their communities, foster responsible environmental practices, and ensure that the jewellery you wear carries a positive story of ethical sourcing. It's a reflection of your values and commitment to a more sustainable and compassionate world.
The significance of UK-made jewellery lies in its unwavering commitment to quality. Crafted by skilled artisans and goldsmiths in the UK, every piece reflects precision and attention to detail. This local touch means shorter lead times, ensuring that your bespoke jewellery reaches you more swiftly while reducing its carbon footprint during delivery.
Supporting UK-made jewellery means supporting local artisans and businesses, contributing to thriving local economies. The direct communication between clients and craftsmen ensures a smooth and personalised experience, free from the potential miscommunication challenges that can occur when working across vast distances and languages. UK-made jewellery offers you the opportunity to engage in the creative process, providing as much or as little guidance as you desire to fashion the perfect piece.
