Transparency

We believe in honesty about where we are and where we're going.

What We're Doing Well:

  • Material Longevity: We exclusively work with Solid 925 Sterling Silver. Unlike plated base metals that eventually end up in landfills, solid silver is a precious metal that can be melted down, refined, and recycled infinitely without losing quality.

  • Digital-First Operations: By operating as a lean e-commerce entity, we significantly reduce the energy consumption and paper waste associated with traditional physical retail storefronts.

  • Recyclable Packaging: We have chosen shipping materials that are curbside recyclable, avoiding unnecessary plastic fillers where possible.

Our Commitment: We'll continue reporting our progress and being transparent about our sustainability journey.
