At Jessica Steele Jewellery we are committed to doing better for people and our planet wherever we can. Here’s just a few of the different ways in which we are striving to do more.

- - - - All of our material sourcing and production is done in accordance with our strict policies and we always check with suppliers that these principles are met prior to trading – we won’t deal with suppliers who do not adhere to these standards.
        
        All our diamonds adhere to the kimberley process and we encourage our customers to reuse their existing diamonds from antique pieces.
        
        We have access to some of the best gemstone suppliers around and if you are looking for a gemstone that is fully traceable and ethically sourced we are more than happy to work to your requirements.
        
        Where possible, we use packaging that is from a sustainable source, can be recycled, or packaging that is made to be kept (like our luxury wooden boxes). Our bags are eco friendly and made from a recycled cardboard mix and we never use single use plastic products for our displays or packaging. We always ask our customers if they require items packaged so to reduce waste.

Any geographical or origin provenance claims made in respect of gemstones and metal are made in good faith based on written statements from chosen suppliers. We are by no means perfect and we are always looking for new ways to make our practice more ethical, sustainable and environmentally friendly. If you have a suggestion we are happy to listen just let us know here.
