Amadeus: How Sustainable is it?
Amadeus’ philosophy is ālook good, feel good, and do goodā, embodying the essence of conscious luxury.
Nathalieās mission is to end the cycle of ābuy cheap, buy moreā and offer their customers more conscious jewellery choices.
They use all recycled gold and silver and are B Corp certified.
They purchase pre-loved stones second-hand and then cut these to size. This is because sourcing ethical stones is difficult, in part because there are no established bodies tracing gemstones from mine to market. For similar reasons, their sea pearls are also pre-loved and sourced from vintage accessories.
Simond is dedicated to an in-house production environment and says: āBy manually producing all of our parts in our studio in London, we maintain full control over the entire process, from sourcing and production to setting and finishingā.
Their packing is FSCĀ®certified and with each order that is placed, they plant five trees with their partners, Tree Nation.
At Amadeus, every artisan, including founder Nathalie Simond, is paid equally. They offer paid maternity, extra education training if required and also a percentage of the business profits to employees. This commitment reflects not just a dedication to fair pay but also a broader mission of creating ethical jewellery for women, by women.
