We recognize that the jewelry industry and supply chain are imperfect. That’s why we are committed to offsetting what we can’t control by making good choices and supporting responsible practices that we believe in.
Jen Rose jewelry is handmade in our San Francisco studio using only recycled metals (14k and 18k gold, sterling silver, and bronze) and responsibly sourced gems (both natural and lab grown), while operating with utmost concern for our environmental impact.
What does this mean exactly?
- Our recycled metals are purchased from suppliers who receive regular, third-party audits that certify their practices and ensure a high level of standards - confirming that their recycled metals are exactly what they say they are.
- Our gems are purchased from a handful of trusted vendors who maintain that the gem materials they source and sell are: a) not sourced or processed using child labor or in violation of local laws, b) obtained legally, not in association with smuggling or supporting illegal activities.
- Our studio operates with an emphasis on using green / sustainable processes from start to finish. We work to reduce and eliminate waste, always recycling, composting, and reusing what we can. We only use recycled and biodegradable materials for supplies and packaging. We’ve also eliminated harsh chemicals and use only non-toxic, biodegradable products in our studio.
