Sustainability
Our commitment to sustainable and socially responsible practices is embedded into everything we do.
“At by charlotte, we embrace sustainability by creating jewellery that’s meaningful both in its symbolism and its connection to the environment. Our commitment to sustainability transgresses ethical sourcing of materials; it’s ingrained in our production methods, our packaging and the way we empower our people.”
Charlotte Blakeney – Founder & Director
Our Commitment
It is integral to us that our production processes are aligned with our vision to share the magic of love, peace, and joy.
From the initial drawings to the final product, we work closely with all partners within our supply chain to ensure that our jewellery is produced via environmentally and socially responsible practices. Our primary manufacturers are all members of the responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), which strives to be the recognised standards and certification organisation for supply chain integrity and sustainability in the global jewellery industry. Each piece is crafted in-house according to closed-loop sustainable manufacturing principles, making our jewels even more meaningful.
Materials
by charlotte is committed to using premium materials for long-lasting wear. Our ethically sourced jewellery is available in sterling silver, 14k solid gold and 18k gold vermeil.
Our designs are produced completely free of harmful and toxic metals including lead and cadmium, upholding the highest safety standards for our suppliers and the wearers of our jewellery.
Packaging
We solely use sustainably sourced FSC certified materials, ensuring that every piece of packaging is 100% biodegradable. We also minimise wastage and our carbon footprint by strategically selecting packaging is scarce in its use of materials, and can be reused for years to come. We are committed to continuing to reduce our environmental impact by finding innovative ways to package our products.
Ethical Practices
Making a positive impact on the world lies at the heart of everything we do. We are on an ongoing journey to minimise our environmental impact, empower the people who produce our jewellery, source the most ethical materials, and enhance supply chain transparency.
