The Rise of Jewellery with a Conscience in Australia

Ethical Jewellery: The Rise of Jewellery with a Conscience

Seasons Emporium is seeing the rise of ethical jewellery in Australia and around the world. Ethical jewellery is jewellery which is verified to have no negative impact on the workers producing it. Previously, you may not have known if your purchase of diamonds or gemstones was using low-paid labour, or inadvertently funding a conflict in another country. Today, you can trace the materials of ethical jewellery to their source and make informed decisions that are guilt free. Find out more about our favourite ethical jewellers: Noosa Amsterdam, Linda Tahija, Palas Jewellery and Murkani Jewellery.

The Ins and Outs of Ethical Jewellery Ownership

Here are a few tips for ethical jewellery investment. Know where your jewellery is sourced. Find out if it contains conflict-free gemstones or diamonds and the production is fair trade. If you purchase from a manufacturer who adheres to ethical practices, the answer will be yes. You might also consider buying jewellery created from recycled materials, or antique jewellery.
Noosa Amsterdam
Noosa Amsterdam featured completely handmade jewellery and leather accessories. Their Nepal factory is fair-trade certified and they also work with family manufacturers and jewellery artisans around the world. Noosa Amsterdam creates leather bracelet cuffs and accessories that are decorated with chunks, which are beautiful handmade jewelled buttons representing symbols from various cultures.

Her fine pieces are sustainable, made from natural untreated recycled gemstones and recycled metals and are crafted by Indonesian artisans who are paid fair working wages.
