SUSTAINABILITY
little impact on our environment
Jacquie Starr strives to source materials responsibly, create products with care, and design with the wearer’s values and lifestyle in mind.
Design Process
Jacquie Starr design process is built around challenging consumerism and over-consumption by creating classically designed pieces that remain relevant even in our ever changing world. We consciously avoid trends that feel temporary or fleeting in favour of an aesthetic which is more lyrical, imaginative and long-lasting.
Sustainability
We are committed to creating our designs with as little impact on our environment.
We are inspired by our future and we take responsibility for prioritising recycled materials in the pieces we make and working in a manner that is considered and mindful. Jacquie Starrs' pieces are designed to last a lifetime and created with a sculptural aesthetic that - goes beyond seasons and trends - while aspiring to be permanently relevant in a changing world. All our gold and silver jewellery is made from either refined recycled metals or from suppliers that follow the strict guideline in accordance with the RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council). The Code of Practices are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
sustainable practices
Recycled Silver & Gold
We use recycled metals processed by refiners that adopt the best sustainable practices possible. Our metals are then created by expert metalsmiths that simply melt down existing silver or gold to give a result that looks and feels exactly the same as new metal just without the same environmental impact. Using recycled silver reduces CO2 emissions by two thirds compared to mined silver this helps to slow the consumption of natural resources, reduces water usage, and reduces the environmental impact of mining.
Our business only aligns with companies where we are able to trace the entire life cycle of its products. Beginning with the responsible sourcing, refining and inputs from conflict free areas and throughout the processing of all our materials and gems.
