Code of Conduct

Since the dawn of time, metals and gemstones have been so valuable that they have always been recycled. That is, real jewellery and other objects made of precious metals have been melted down and used again and again, long before sustainability became a concept.

We acknowledge this approach to sustainability in our workshop in Copenhagen, where all our jewellery is made by hand and always made from precious metals and precious stones. We only use recycled gold and silver from our dealer AG, it is a natural choice, and helps to ensure a responsible supply chain, both ethically, socially and environmentally.

The gemstones we use - and we use many of them - originate primarily from dealers with whom we have worked for 20-30 years, and who themselves travel across most of the world - especially India, the Galapagos, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Polynesia and Italy - and buy raw stones or cut stones. In this way we can trust that they ensure proper working and environmental conditions in the production. Our use of diamonds is of course all subject to the Kimberley Convention, which is to secure that wars and exploitation of people on the African continent are not supported - also called blood-diamonds. In addition, our dealers have committed not to trade in Russian diamonds.

In our work, we do not strive for perfection but for character, and we use gemstones that are unique as our jewelry is. We use obsolete stones with inclusions, crooked cuts or special colours, which do not come from large grinding plants, but from smaller independent workshops, where the potential of each stone is exploited, instead of standardising the stones in a larger production. We often use pearls in our jewellery, and always baroque natural pearls. Our pearl pusher travels to Polynesia, Fiji and Japan, where the pearl farms and auctions we use are Southsea, Tahiti and Keshi pearls, which cannot be grown if the sea is not clean and free of pollution. We always encourage our customers to bring old worn or new unused jewelry, recycle stones that have beauty or emotional significance, and exchange or offset old gold. In this way, we all help to ensure the production of recycled gold, and do not support the environmental and social disadvantages of gold mining.
