People & Planet

The RJ team know we are part of something much bigger and more important than ourselves and we have a heartfelt desire to drive change, for both people and planet. We know we have a lot to do but we are committed to this journey and we are learning at pace. Here are some of the actions we’ve taken so far:

• Social Impact: Since our launch in 2016 we’ve been raising awareness and thousands of pounds for people that need help. This year we collaborated with Dawn O Porter on a limited edition necklace which went on to raise over £40,000 for ‘Choose Love’, but that’s just the start of it…watch this space for more.
• Our Gold & Silver: By nature, the industry recycles most materials due to their high value. Any off-cuts from castings in the workshops go back into the raw materials mix and are used to create another treasure. We aim to do more than this by transitioning to fully recycled jewellery, a phased process but one that is well underway.
• Our Diamonds: We’ve made the conscious decision to change from mined diamonds to lab-grown, cultured diamonds. The process involves replicating the way that diamonds are grown in the earth and produces the same chemical properties as natural diamonds. Cultured diamonds are a symbol of innovation as much as they are eternal beauty, in fact there are almost none of the imperfections that you find in naturally found diamonds. Cultured diamonds are kind to people - conflict free, no child labour, and there is no exposure to the harmful substances found in some mines.
• Our Gemstones: Two of our three jewellery workshops are certified members of the Responsible Jewellery Council and our third workshop is on track for this year. This represents a commitment to keeping the origins and chain of custody as transparent as possible.
• Our Packaging: Much like our jewellery our gift boxes and pouches are designed to last a lifetime, a safe place for you to store your treasure and take wherever you go. Our jewellery boxes and outer-packaging are all also 100% sustainably sourced, plastic free and 100% recyclable.
• Replate with us: We offer a re-plating service so that you can give your gold jewellery a new lease of life, any time you think you need it. For more information send us an email at recycling@racheljacksonlondon.com.
• Upcycle with us: Our upcycling service encourages you to get involved by sending us any unwanted, hallmarked sterling silver and solid gold jewellery (from any brand) for us to recycle for you. For 1-2 pieces, you’ll receive a £15 Rachel Jackson voucher. Explore the details here.
