How I'm making my business sustainable

Being ethical & sustainable can mean so many different things to different people, so I thought I would talk about what they mean to me & how I incorporate it into my business.

For me buying ethically sourced materials is super important, as its where Hazel's Jewellery Shop designs begin life.

💜 I buy most of my supplies from UK sellers (mostly small businesses) to help limit the fuel it takes to get the supplies from the supplier to me. Plus its a bonus as I love supporting other small businesses.

💜 I use eco silver wire, sheet & findings, alongside my main material silver clay which is made from recycled silver. Theres something special taking a lump of clay made from silver from old photography equipment etc and making it into beautiful jewellery!

💜 Every scrap of metal is saved and either used in a later project somehow or sent to be melted down. Its amazing what you can use the tiniest pieces of metal for!!

💜 I love sourcing secondhand gemstones & giving them a new life. Its special to think they will be loved again for years to come.

💜 I use eco friendly alternatives to chemicals in all of my jewellery making processes

💜 My packaging is made from recycled materials & it can be reused (it makes a great way to organise your jewellery box!) or recycled

There are things I would still like to change and thats OK, its a journey and each small action adds up.
