What makes this product sustainable?
At Eugenie, we do the research to make it easy for you to find products that you can feel good about purchasing, using, and wearing.
Each new designer we work with starts with a conversation about sustainability and how it relates to their brand and products.
Sustainability can mean many different things, we tried to break it down for you in a way that is easy to understand.
Natural Materials
Octavia Elizabeth sources United Nations Fair Trade approved precious & semi-precious stones, 18kt recycled gold, and reclaimed diamonds.
People
Octavia Elizabeth ensures all of their contractors and production partners are paid a living wage under fair working conditions.
This brand works with Canadian United Nations Fair Trade compliant mines, and Myne London, a women-owned emerald supplier employing female lapidary workers (those who cut and polish gems) in Islamabad.
Production
Octavia Elizabeth jewelry is produced by hand from start-to-finish in Los Angeles to reduce the company’s carbon emissions. Practicing local production significantly cuts down on carbon emissions that often accrue from transportation-related pollution.
