Sustainability
Sustainability and environmentally friendly resources
Our pieces are ethically sourced in Brazil, we follow the entire supply chain, from the mine to the production and design - so we can guarantee it is ethically sourced gemstones and sustainably produced.
We believe that nature is precious and we need to look after it with love and care. That’s why we want to show you the beauty of nature through our crystals in sustainable ways.
Let’s build a future with sustainability, preserving our nature and offering high quality products.
Our current sustainability efforts span five areas:
- Longevity (product design): We use the highest quality materials so they provide you a long term of enjoyment. That means high quality gold, silver and rodium.
- Sustainably-sourced crystals: Our crystals are all from trustable mines, such as ours, licensed with the federal government and following all environmental standards. Learn more about our mine on our Instagram @nzgiovanna.
- 70% reusable water: Our operation reuses a minimum of 70% of the water, repurifying and reusing the water to make your jewellery. The rest of the water is purified to go back to the environment in a clean way.
- Recycled packaging materials: Our packaging boxes are made with recycled cardboard, and our packaging is made for long term use to store your jewellery.
- Seed paper made to plant and bloom: For our welcome release we send you a seed paper which you can plant and bloom your own daisy! Limited stock.
- We use a portion of revenue to plant more trees: We donate part of your purchase directly to plant more trees in the Brazilian rainforest, in the north of Brazil (not our region or our mining resources). In our region, the south Brazil, we plant the areas surrounding our mine.
Ethical Production + Artisans
Our Commitment to Ethical Work Conditions
We believe that the beauty of each piece comes not only from its design but also from how it’s crafted. We are committed to maintaining ethical work conditions throughout every stage of our production, ensuring fairness, respect, and well-being for everyone involved.
Transparency & Fair Wages
We ensure that all artisans and employees are paid fairly for their skills and dedication. By working closely with our partners, we guarantee wages that reflect the true value of our artisans.
Everything is crafted in Brazil, where labor laws are designed to protect workers’ rights and maintain fair working conditions. The key legislation governing labor in Brazil is the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT), or Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho, which covers various aspects of employment, including wages, working hours, benefits, and worker protections.
Safe & Supportive Environments
Safety and respect are core values in our workplaces. We maintain safe, supportive, and positive working conditions where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
We also provide medical and life insurance.
Sustainable Practices
Sustainability is integrated into our work environment, from eco-friendly materials and packaging to responsible sourcing. We strive to make decisions that protect both people and the planet.
Our commitment to ethical practices is about creating jewellery that you can feel good about wearing, knowing it has been made with integrity every step of the way.
