Our Commitments to Sustainability
Traditional actors cannot, and often do not want to, ensure the traceability of their materials and their supply chain, as it would raise too many questions and require huge investments.
How can we change that?
sourcing
We use exclusively 18k recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds.
We do not want to confront mined and non-mined jewellery, we aim to offer those who share our beliefs an alternative.
This strong choice comes with limitations that we fully accept.
For instance, we do not work with white or pink gold because it involves the process of plating. This process creates large quantities of acids and noxious byproducts that must be discarded.
production
Our collections, inspired by nature and minimalism, are designed in our office in France and crafted in India by talented and skilled jewellers.
We are proud to partner with a company that provides jobs for 2,000 artisans, pays fair wages, executes ethical practices, and ensures the safety of its employees.
The company, founded in 1917, is ISO certified, and also has a charity arm: every purchase you make helps providing drinking water and education to the children of financially disadvantaged communities in Jaipur.
distribution
All our packaging are handmade by Scéona using recycled cardboard. We are proud to say that we are 100% plastic free!
Moreover, when you purchase a Scéona piece, we calculate the carbon footprint generated by its production and the shipment to deliver it to you.
To offset this footprint, we decided to partner with EcoMatcher, an organization that supports local communities in various parts of the world to improve their livelihood by planting trees.
Apart from storing carbon, trees help in preventing soil erosion, support wildlife, and give us oxygen.
