Climate? Positive!

Whenever we need inspiration, when the soul thirsts and a break is needed, then we find the answer to all these longings in nature. Because it holds something that no city has yet: a pervasive peace. And with this peace we want to be in relationship, we want to be part, but not only. After all, relationships are about give and take.

Maren Jewelery stands forLuxury jewelry in harmony with nature. It doesn't stop with the materials we use. But it starts with that. That's why we forge our pieces of jewelryrecycled 18k gold, white gold and925 sterling silver. Instead of natural diamonds, whose origin is all too often questionable and unclear, which come from war zones or are scooped from the depths of the mines by children, we have opted for synthetic eco diamonds. It has taken us a long time to establish a supply chain that fits our aspirations, with partners who take our goals as seriously as we do.

But of course: Whenever something is produced, waste products are also produced. We are working to ensure that all our waste products are recyclable and can therefore simply be fed back into the production cycle. And here we come circular economy closer and closer, for example by doing without plastic and other non-degradable resources. But it's all about the means of production. But what about our carbon footprintk?

Needless to say, climate neutrality is central to us. All we can do is reduce our emissions; we cannot eliminate them completely yet. We optimize every area at Maren so that we consume as little as possible. We offset the rest.

Climate positivity means: compensating for more greenhouse gases than we produce. This is crucial to slowing global warming in line with the Paris Climate Agreement.

And the results speak for themselves. The CO2 values of our jewelry pieces are vanishingly low compared to conventional luxury jewelry.

Thanks to our holistic sustainability approach, the CO₂ footprint of our jewelry pieces is only 0,4 kg CO₂ per item produced. By comparison, conventional luxury jewelry consumes up to 29,27 kg CO₂ per piece, depending on the method used(1). For this comparison, we deliberately chose the lower values from the literature in order to use conservative, verifiable figures.

But at Maren Jewellery, we go one step further: with every purchase of a sustainable piece of jewelry, we offset 100 kg of CO2 through donations to the Chooose initiative. This means the offset exceeds the actual consumption of 0.4 kg CO2 per piece of jewelry many times over – we are climate-positive.

You can find the exact calculations of CO2 consumption and the individual CO2 footprint on each product page, as well as more details on the calculations in our Journal article on the life cycle assessment. In addition, we publish our annual CO2 footprint, which covers all areas of our company, in our Sustainability Report. With this comprehensive approach, we demonstrate our strong commitment to environmental protection and actively help combat the negative effects of climate change. And we do it together!

We reduce our emissions every day, and even more than that is offset. And that is exactly why Maren Jewellery is climate-positive. We are proud of that. Because: We must protect what we love. We love nature. What do you love?
