Sustainability
At Valentina Jewelry, we believe in creating beautiful pieces that not only bring joy to our customers but also respect and protect our planet, here are a few of the things that we are doing 🌱
Materials and Sourcing
Our materials are chosen with both quality and environmental responsibility in mind. We use gold-filled and sterling silver, alongside natural gemstones, to ensure that each piece is not only stunning but also long-lasting. We source our materials from smaller businesses, prioritizing ethical practices. We are currently investigating further to ensure that all our materials are obtained responsibly. All our jewelry is lovingly made in-house, ensuring craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
Manufacturing and Production
Every piece of Valentina Jewelry is brought to life within the walls of our studio in New York City. By embracing the art of small-batch production, we not only cherish the uniqueness of each piece but also uphold our commitment to sustainability. This approach allows us to minimize waste, ensuring that every creation aligns with our high standards of environmental care and quality.
Crafting our jewelry by hand in our NYC studio is not just a method; it's a principle. It enables us to maintain an intimate connection with our work, infusing each piece with the essence of the city and the soul of its creators. This hands-on process guarantees that every item not only meets but exceeds our expectations for quality, sustainability, and artistic integrity.
Packaging and Shipping
We believe that beautiful jewelry deserves beautiful packaging, but not at the expense of our planet. Our packaging is completely plastic-free, and we opt for digital receipts to minimize paper waste. Our mailer boxes are produced using recycled materials. Additionally, our jewelry boxes and pouches are designed to be reusable, further supporting our commitment to sustainability. And all included printed materials are sourced from companies committed to sustainable forestry and carbon neutrality.
Product Lifecycle
Valentina Jewelry is designed to last. However, we understand that the end of a product's life cycle is as important as its creation. We offer repair and exchange warranties to extend the life of our pieces. We encourage our customers to consider recycling or repurposing their jewelry and are exploring options to facilitate these processes in the future.
