TRACEABLE DESIGNS

Transparency is key in our mission to help customers feel good about the social and environmental origins of our demi-fine jewellery pieces. By establishing ethical supply chain partnerships and prioritizing traceability, our small business aims to provide clarity
on the impacts associated with each item. In this way, even as a small operation, we can ensure customers know and
appreciate the sustainable journeys behind the pieces they choose.

WASTED MATERIALS

It's inevitable for there to be left over materials when making hand-made jewellery. We make sure that
nothing gets thrown away by recycling the precious materials into new one-of-a kind designs.
Shop our necklaces made from 100% recycled gold from our limited edition collection.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

Saint & Jéan encourage our customers to keep our packaging.
Therefore, provide each customer with a free jewellery box, designed for long-term use.
Each box is made from recycled cardboard box shells and a soft lining made from natural velvet sustainably sourced from artisans in Italy.

REDUCED CO2

SUSTAINABLE SHIPPING METHODS

When transporting orders from our manufacturers, we exclusively opt for maritime shipping over air or other fossil-fuel intensive methods. We recognize this adds considerable time to delivery speeds. However, ocean freight is vastly more carbon efficient, and making this
switch is one small way we can meaningfully lessen our environmental footprint on a global scale.
