What makes Maren Jewelery products sustainable?
At Maren Jewellery, we pursue a holistic sustainability approach. We aim to design jewelry in harmony with nature. Therefore, we use only sustainable materials, such as recycled metals and lab-grown diamonds, and produce our jewelry locally in Germany and 'Made to Order'. This helps us avoid long transport routes, unnecessary storage, and overproduction. Each of our jewelry pieces is completely recyclable, allowing us to strive for a circular economy in the long term. We value fair working conditions and work exclusively with suppliers and partners who share our sustainable vision of jewelry production. Transparency is very important to us in all aspects. Our jewelry pieces are all high-quality, durable, and minimalist, designed with careful craftsmanship. The packaging also makes our jewelry sustainable. We use no plastic and no animal products. With the sale of our jewelry pieces, we also support the sustainable initiative Chooose and offset 100kg of CO2 per piece of jewelry produced.
Which sustainable initiatives does Maren Jewelery support?
Maren Jewellery has decided to sustainably support two initiatives in order to produce each piece of jewelry in the best possible harmony with nature:
Chooose
Although each of our pieces of jewelry consumes an average of 0.4 kg of CO2, which is about 73 times less CO2 than average manufactured jewelry, we offset 100 kg of CO2 with a donation to the sustainable initiative Chooose every time we sell one of our pieces to be climate positive.
Earthbeat Foundation
We at Maren Jewellery exclusively use recycled materials to avoid having to mine more gold and to utilize what is already available. To still contribute to positive change in the gold industry and for the nature and people of the mining areas for which we want to take responsibility, we support the Earthbeat Foundation with 3% of our annual profit.
The Earthbeat Foundation is committed to supporting people whose livelihood is dependent on mining work due to a lack of alternatives. The Earthbeat Foundation is creating new sustainable sources of income on-site, such as the beekeeping project.
