Choose sustainable materials
When creating eco-friendly jewelry, opt for materials such as recycled metals, ethically sourced gemstones, and sustainable alternatives like bamboo, cork, or wood. These materials have a lower environmental impact and can be repurposed or recycled.
Adopt eco-friendly techniques
Utilize low-impact production methods, such as water-based adhesives, non-toxic dyes, and energy-efficient processes. Consider using 3D printing for minimal material waste and incorporating handcrafted techniques to reduce reliance on machinery.
Embrace ethical sourcing
Ensure that the materials used in your jewelry are ethically sourced, promoting fair labor practices and supporting local artisans and communities. Seek out suppliers who adhere to sustainable and ethical standards, and prioritize transparency in your supply chain.
