All jewellery is made from 100% recycled Sterling Silver and 9ct Yellow & Rose Gold. This does not mean that the quality is at risk, it simply means that they have a positive impact on the environment and reduces my carbon footprint. All my materials and tools have been bought from within the UK. The chains I use are bought from a company which is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council which was established to promote responsible ethical, social and environmental practices.
