Our Sustainability Story

I love pearls, but I don’t love the traditional pearl necklace. I felt there was a lack of unique, handmade and mindfully made designs on the market- I wanted to plug this gap, and create pieces that had a contemporary twist, while also being classic pieces to keep for years.” - Daphne

The inspiration behind each design comes from Daphne’s visits to her mother’s home country; Greece, and the summers spent snorkelling in the turquoise waters, and collecting shells and pebbles from beaches in the Aegean and Ionian Islands.

  • Each piece is handmade to order in our London studio, reducing waste and over production.

  • Materials are sourced within the UK where possible, and where not possible we search for materials with the fewest miles travelled.

  • Only biodegradable and reusable materials are used for our packaging, absolutely no plastic.

  • Every order is lovingly packaged in a reusable linen pouch, made by fellow female creatives in the UK. Did you know both linen and silk are more sustainable options than cotton, using significantly less water to produce.

  • Each postage box is as teeny as possible, to minimise waste and fit through your letter box to reduce courier miles.

Our Materials & Sourcing

Gold We work with a family run Jeweller in Jaipur India, specialising in hand made and finished gold findings.  Our findings are 18ct Gold vermeil, which has a base of sterling silver, and is finished with an anti-tarnish to extend durability and longevity. 

Pearls We source our pearls from one of the UKs leading gemstone suppliers, a family-owned business with 15 years’ experience. The owners’ family heritage lies in the far east, with established and ethical supplier relationships in Thailand, India and Sri Lanka. Certifications: Pearl Specialist accreditation from the International Gem Society, and Pro Member of the International Gem Society.

Packaging is plastic-free, recyclable and reusable. We source 100% linen bags which are handmade by a seamstress in Cornwall, and hand dyed silk ribbon from a small UK based company.
