Ethos

Our Ethos

All of the jewellery on our website is made by a member of the team in our North Devon workshop and completely from scratch. We do not make anything in large quantities to reduce the risk of wastage, both of materials and of consumable energy. For this reason, most orders that require personalisation or sizing, will be made to order by hand.This means that every piece of jewellery is individual to the customer who orders it. In our own small way, we are trying to reduce overproduction.

We're planet conscious

We don’t claim to be perfect and we are not on a crusade but, we are doing all we can to make sure that Amy Eira Jewellery isn’t adding to the problem unnecessarily. We have put a lot of effort into making sure that our postage and boxing materials are all eco-friendly and FSC certified. All packaging materials are fully recyclable and where possible, we would ask for the materials to be reused or at least recycled responsibly. 

100% recycled precious metals

We purchase recycled precious metals from a reputable source in the UK.

We recycle our precious metal scrap from our workshop with a local bullion dealer who uses it to produce re-workable and clean bullion. Any large pieces of scrap that we have left over gets melted down by a member of the team, milled out using our rolling mills and then used again. Nothing goes to waste!

Where possible we have chosen to use UK based suppliers of materials and gemstones to try to limit the carbon footprint of our work.

Designed for a lifetime of wear

We want to make jewellery that has longevity, can be worn daily and then handed down for others to enjoy. To honour that belief, we offer a lifetime cleaning service free of charge, if you would like to take advantage of this offer please contact us.

I will always do my best to be eco-conscious and strive to achieve more eco-friendly ways of producing our handmade jewellery. I will of course make you aware of any updates we have on this and would welcome your constructive criticism on these points. Please feel free to contact us here.
