Sustainability

Longevity

We believe that true sustainability comes from having real relationships with the objects in our lives: relationships that last long beyond the current season, where caring for a piece throughout its lifetime is natural and easy.

We want these pieces to be timeless, to be treasured, and to be handed down to the next generation, so we have a deep commitment to quality, honed over 30 years of making fine jewellery. Each piece that leaves our studio goes through careful quality checks. By the time it reaches your hands it’s been through four pairs of our hands to make sure it’s perfect.

Anything that’s worth loving is worth looking after, so we also offer ongoing repair and cleaning services to make sure your enibas jewellery stays beautiful and strong for years to come.

Materials

You can’t separate the meaning of a piece from its origin. Love and respect for the materials we use and the people who use them are at the centre of our work. We only use ethically sourced diamonds, and recycled and reclaimed precious metals from sustainable sources.

Our goal is to break the traditional exploitative mining cycle and work towards a true circular economy, where nothing is wasted.

Packaging

We bring the same care to our packaging, because we believe all materials are precious. With the help of our specialist sustainable packaging partners Wrapology, we went on a wildly educational and inspiring packaging journey, where we learned that achieving a level of sustainability that goes beyond greenwashing demands true devotion.

You’ll see the results of that devotion in our mono-material boxes, recycled pouches, and reusable ribbons, and in our choice of thoughtful, minimal packaging options.

Mono-materials

Simplicity is beautiful. It’s also one of the most important ways to reduce waste. We maximise the use of mono materials wherever possible. Products and packaging made from mono materials promote a circular economy by being easy to reuse and recycle, reducing demand for natural resources. They also have a lower carbon footprint over their life cycle.

Recycled materials

All materials are precious. Whether gold, silver, and diamonds or cardboard, paper and plastic, they all come with a cost, both in terms of finances and the environment. Our jewellery is made with recycled metals. Our packaging is also chosen with love and respect for the materials and a view to their continued life in the world after they leave our hands.

Factories

For the jobs that can’t be done in our small workshop, we have carefully chosen manufacturing partners who live up to our values of fairness and sustainability. We have personally visited our casting facility, and our packaging is produced in hand-picked factories. They use certified responsibly sourced, closed-loop recycled materials, and have deep insight into the high ethical and environmental standards in each factory.
