OUR PHILOSOPHY

Our aim is to run an ethically responsible company. All our fine jewellery is handcrafted to the highest standards in our London workshops using ethical labour and materials.

EXPERT & ETHICAL LABOUR

All of our own fine jewellery designs are hand-made here in the UK in our London workshops, by our expert in-house jewellers. We only deal with reputable British suppliers and do not use sub-contractors who exploit their workers, whether they are based in a third world country or right here at home.

QUALITY & ETHICAL DIAMONDS

We only use quality white Diamonds of a high clarity and superior cut that maximises the brilliance, fire and scintillation of the Diamond. As we are particularly concerned about where our materials come from we only use ethical Diamonds and refuse to use “Conflict Diamonds” which are inexorably linked with human rights abuses and conflict in many parts of Africa. You can read more about our policies on Quality Diamonds and our ethical Conflict Free Diamonds in our online Diamonds & Gems Guide.

NATURAL & ETHICAL GEMSTONES

As all of our designs are handmade in the Stephen Einhorn London workshops our in-house jewellers hand select all of our quality, natural coloured Gemstones. We refuse to use Sapphires and Rubies that come from the military regime of Myanmar (Burma) on ethical grounds. We only use reputed gem dealers who keep a close check on the conditions under which their natural coloured gemstones are mined.

PURE & ETHICAL METALS

Because we appreciate the subtle colour of pure precious metals we choose not to plate our fine jewellery and all of our precious jewellery is fully assayed and hallmarked. We take an ethical stance on our gold and cast our fine jewellery using UK refined, recycled gold & other precious metals wherever possible. We support Oxfam’s “No Dirty Gold” campaign and agree that while some mining may always be necessary, main metal extraction operations should always take place in recycling centres rather than in nature reserves and native lands.
