Your Guide to Choosing Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Jewellery
With the growing awareness of sustainability, it’s more important than ever to make mindful choices when it comes to jewellery. At Carolina Wong, we are passionate about crafting ethical jewellery that doesn’t compromise on beauty or impact. Whether you’re exploring pieces made from recycled gold or looking for long-lasting designs, here’s how you can choose sustainable jewellery that aligns with your values.
Choose Recycled Metals
Opting for recycled gold is an excellent way to reduce the environmental impact of your jewellery. By reusing existing materials, we lessen the demand for new production and support more sustainable practices. Carolina Wong incorporates recycled metals into many of her designs, crafting beautiful pieces with a smaller carbon footprint. Take the Flora necklace, for example - Carolina hand-crochets 14k gold-filled recycled wire to create a versatile piece that is built to last a lifetime, breathing new life into the material.
Ethical Sourcing of Natural Materials
It’s essential to find beauty in unexpected places, which is why we work with abalone shells that might otherwise go to waste, giving them new life in our jewellery.
In our Ula collection, each abalone shell we use is unique in shape and size, showcasing the inherent beauty found in what others might overlook. Pearls, a classic element in jewellery for centuries, are kept in their natural form to preserve their timeless charm. By maintaining their untouched state, we honour their long-standing role in jewellery while adding a modern twist to each piece.
Invest in Durable, Timeless Pieces
One way to support sustainability is by investing in jewellery that stands the test of time. Carolina Wong’s designs are crafted to be worn for years with proper care.
To help you keep your pieces looking their best, we offer a detailed care guide on our website. This guide provides tips on maintaining each piece based on its material, ensuring that your jewellery can be enjoyed for a lifetime but also passed down to generations.
