OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

We love creating pieces that you love, we don’t create low quality pieces that you have to throw away after couple of times wearing them. We don’t use cheap metals. We use highest quality 925 sterling silver with real quality gold plating. Our jewellery is designed to be worn and loved for years.

In creating the pieces that you love, it is now more than ever important to us that you feel good about where your pieces come from.

We are committed to sustainability and we have set up our goals for 2022 to 2025 to lead our brand towards a more sustainable brand.

 

What does sustainability mean and how does Gemsa take part in the process?

Simply explained, sustainability is the idea that humans must interact with the environment in a way that ensures there will be enough resources left for future generations.

Being sustainable at Gemsa means we know how our materials are sourced and processed, and the working conditions that they were made in. Traceability and transparency are key factors in our sustainability process, from creating a piece to delivering it to you.

We are not perfect but we are very conscious about what we are doing and wherever possible we will improve what we do. Our approach to sustainability means we feel responsible for the people we work with, the planet we live in and the jewellery we create.

OUR PLANET

From our metals to our packaging, we create with our planet in mind. Ensuring the metals used to craft our pieces have a minimum impact on Earth has always been our top priority. Sourcing materials with care and consideration is part of Gemsa Jewellery’s standards.

Here is a summary of what goes into making your Gemsa pieces and how we are improving our environmental impact.

• 100% of our materials are responsibly sourced, if not coming from recycled sources.
• 50% of our silver and gold are from recycled sources, recycled silver and gold lessens our impact on Earth. Not only do we not have to mine new resources, but recycling also lowers the carbon footprint.
• 100% of our packaging is recyclable and plastic-free

 

Why Not 100% Recycled metals?

Mining remains a necessary livelihood for millions of people worldwide. We only work with suppliers who have the highest environmental and most humane standards. This applies to all precious metals and stones that come from the earth.

 

OUR GOALS

• Becoming member of Responsible Jewellery Council by 2023. RJC is the leading standards authority in the global watch and jewellery industry and works with members worldwide to create a sustainable supply chain.
• We are committed to use recycled silver and gold in at least 70% of our products by 2025 so we can offer more sustainable products and help to reduce waist, mining, or other negative social and environmental impacts.
• We are committed to removing all single use plastic from our supply chain by 2025.
• We are committed to select diamonds that are compliant with the Kimberley Process by 2023, which ensures the diamonds we use do not fuel armed conflict in high-risk countries.
