JEWELLERY WITH ETHICS
-
In this world of excessive plastic use and fast fashion it is great to finally see so many brands, retailers, and people in general becoming mindful about our environment. At Natalia Rafi our vision is to be an eco-concious brand, providing luxury products that compliment the slow fashion movement. With this vision well and truly engrained into minds we set out on our journey to share our vision with the world. Our first task was to find suppliers that shared our views no matter what the cost. Here's how we're getting on so far:
Our precious metals are mostly recycled or can be traced back to a mine where stringent environmental and ethical checks are in place.
Our gemstones are either purchased from small suppliers (worldwide), local to ethical mines, or from two UK based gemstone suppliers that have policies that meet our environmental expectations.
Our packaging is approx 70% recycled (I know there is still room for improvement here).
We are not perfect yet and although by law we could easily call ourselves “eco-friendly” we believe that there is still a little room for improvement, and we shall continue to strive to lower our carbon footprint wherever possible.
If you want to know more about our eco-friendly approach to jewellery or have ideas on how we can improve please feel free to get in touch.
