100% Recycled Metals
Every piece of Tarska jewellery is crafted from 100% recycled gold or silver. This reduces the impact of mining on the environment. Most recycled gold and silver comes from jewellery but also from things like old smartphones, laptops and computers.
Local Materials
Sourcing my stones locally and responsibly means I'm not importing gemstones from overseas. I have a direct relationship with collectors and local geologists who can verify the exact area where the stones were collected. There is no mining, everything is collected by hand in small amounts.
Scottish Wool POUCHES
Every piece of Tarska jewellery comes with a complementary handmade pouch, made from pure new wool woven here in Scotland. Not only does it look and feel great, wool is also a completely natural and renewable fibre, making it the most sustainable choice for my jewellery pouches. The campaign for wool website has more information on the benefits of wool.
Eco friendly packaging
All of my packaging is made here in the UK using recycled materials. Everything meets FCA standards and and it's all 100% recyclable.
1% of all sales go to charity
I believe that all businesses should be doing something to protect our planet. We all take so much, yet often don't give anything back. From day one I wanted to give something back, so I have supported this charity from early on and plan to do more as I grow as a business.
A small amount from every sale at Tarska Jewellery goes to supporting Toiletries Amnesty, a social, ethical and environmental organisation with a mission to alleviate hygiene poverty.
