Sustainable Jewelry, Ethical Choices: How Elissar Jewels Is Leading the Way in Slow Fashion and Fair Trade
At Elissar Jewels, we’re redefining luxury by blending timeless craftsmanship with a deep commitment to sustainability. Our jewellery is more than just an accessory; it’s a reflection of our values. From slow fashion and low waste to carbon-neutral practices and fair wages, we’re proud to offer a guilt-free luxury experience that not only enhances your style but also supports the planet and the communities we hold dear.
Slow Fashion, Low Waste: A Commitment to Sustainability
In today’s fast-paced world of mass production, Elissar Jewels stands as a proud advocate of slow fashion. We carefully craft each piece by hand, taking time to ensure quality and longevity while avoiding the wastefulness of overproduction. This commitment to low-waste practices ensures that we only create what’s needed—never more than necessary—so that we can reduce our environmental impact.
Our carbon-neutral goals are central to our philosophy. Every year, we purchase Terra Passes for every mile we ship, ensuring we offset our carbon footprint. This not only helps us reduce our impact on the planet but also aligns with our mission to give back and restore our karmic balance. Each order is thoughtfully packaged and shipped in environmentally friendly materials, making sure that everything we do is in line with our eco-conscious ideals.
Fair Wages and Ethical Labor: Supporting Artisan Communities
At Elissar Jewels, we believe that luxury should never come at the expense of people. That’s why we take pride in being a slow artisanal jeweller, where every piece is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans in India—many of whom come from families with over four generations of jewellery-making tradition.
Our commitment to fair wages ensures that our artisans are compensated fairly for their craft, supporting the local economy and empowering families. The 4-9 week wait time for made-to-order items allows us to carefully source materials, create bespoke pieces, and maintain control over the manufacturing process. We only produce what is necessary, ensuring that we do not overproduce and waste precious resources.
Ethical Sourcing: Diamonds and Gold You Can Trust
We are dedicated to providing only the most ethical and sustainable materials for our jewellery. Our round-cut diamonds are sourced from suppliers registered under the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), which guarantees that they are 100% natural and conflict-free. What makes these diamonds truly ethical is that they are sourced from countries with strict environmental and wildlife protection laws, ensuring that no wars are fought over these stones and that the local ecosystems are respected.
Our gold is also sourced responsibly, directly from reputable, regulated government sources in Ghana, where mining practices are continually improving to minimize environmental damage. These sources are committed to sustainable mining and give back to local communities, ensuring that every piece of gold we use helps support both the earth and the people who work with it.
Giving Back: Profit-Free Jewelry for a Cause
At Elissar Jewels, we don’t just talk about sustainability—we take action. We proudly donate a portion of our profits to trusted foundations that support causes close to our hearts. Some of our jewellery collections are specifically marked as "Profit-Free," meaning that the full amount of the sale will be donated to a country with a rich and ancient history that we believe must be preserved and respected. This is our way of using the power of jewellery to make a tangible difference in the world.
Thoughtful Packaging: Reusable, Recyclable, and Eco-Friendly
Our commitment to sustainability extends to the way we package and ship your jewellery. Each piece is carefully packaged in reusable pouches, designed to protect your solid gold jewellery while keeping it safe and maintaining its glimmer. The soft fabric pouches allow the jewelry to breathe, ensuring it stays in perfect condition when not worn.
The shipping envelopes we use are made from Mail Lite, a material crafted from FSC-certified paper sourced from responsible forests. These envelopes are recyclable, so you can feel good knowing that every part of your delivery can be reused or recycled.
