Sustainable Jewellery: Why Choosing Recycled Metals & Ethical Craftsmanship Matters
by Shannon McMaster on Mar 12, 2025
In a world where fast fashion and disposable trends dominate, investing in sustainable jewellery is a conscious choice that benefits both you and the planet. At La Lune, we believe that jewellery should be meaningful, not only in the memories it holds but also in the way it’s made. That’s why we use recycled sterling silver, gold vermeil, and solid gold to create timeless pieces that minimise environmental impact without compromising on beauty or quality.
Why Sustainable Jewellery Matters
The jewellery industry has long been associated with harmful mining practices, excessive waste, and unethical labour conditions. Choosing sustainable jewellery means making a difference by supporting brands that prioritise ethical craftsmanship, reduce waste, and create lasting pieces with integrity.
The Beauty of Recycled Metals
Recycled metals are just as luxurious, durable, and stunning as newly mined materials, without the environmental cost. By repurposing existing silver and gold, we help reduce the demand for mining, decrease pollution, and lower carbon emissions. Every La Lune piece is a testament to the fact that sustainability and beauty can go hand in hand.
Ethical Craftsmanship: Handmade with Heart
Mass production often prioritises speed and cost over ethical practices, leading to exploitative labour conditions and excessive waste. At La Lune, every piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans who pour love and care into their work. Choosing handmade jewellery means supporting fair wages, slow fashion, and artistry that stands the test of time.
Investing in Jewellery That Lasts
Sustainable jewellery isn’t just about how it’s made, it’s about longevity. Unlike fast-fashion pieces that tarnish and break easily, our jewellery is designed to be cherished for a lifetime. By choosing high-quality materials and timeless designs, you’re investing in jewellery that won’t end up in landfill.
Make a Conscious Choice
Wearing sustainable jewellery means wearing something that aligns with your values, beauty, meaning, and responsibility. Whether it’s an engraved pendant, a custom charm, or a timeless stacking ring, La Lune’s sustainable pieces allow you to express your style while making a positive impact.
Choose jewellery that cares for your memories and for the planet.
