Frequently Asked Questions
What is sustainable jewelry?
Jewelery is sustainable if it consists of, among other things, sustainable materials. The metals used are then recycled or fair trade. The precious stones used in sustainable jewelry are also fairly traded, certified and traceable or grown directly in the laboratory. As far as possible, neither plastic nor animal products such as pearls, mother-of-pearl, horn or similar are used for the jewelry and its packaging. In addition, with sustainable jewelry, care should be taken to ensure fair production, which is best done locally with fair wages for the workers and safe working standards. In addition, sustainable jewelery is characterized by high quality, a timeless design and high-quality materials so that it can be worn for as long as possible. This saves resources, less is disposed of and less is produced.

Therefore, we only use sustainable materials such as recycled metals and laboratory-grown diamonds and produce our jewelry locally in Germany and made to order. This allows us to avoid long transport routes, unnecessary storage and overproduction. Each of our pieces of jewelry is fully recyclable, with which we are striving for a circular economy in the long term. We value fair working conditions and only work with suppliers and partners who share our sustainable vision of jewelry production. Transparency is very important to us in all respects. Our pieces of jewelry are all high-quality, durable and minimalistic, carefully handcrafted. The packaging also makes our jewelery sustainable. We do not use plastic or animal products. With the sale of our jewelry, we also support the sustainable initiative Chooose and offset 100kg of CO2 for each piece of jewelry produced.s.

Although each of our pieces of jewelery uses 0.4 kg of CO2 on average, around 73 times less CO2 than the average piece of jewelery produced, every time we sell one of our pieces of jewelery we offset 100 kg of CO2 with a donation to the sustainable initiative Chooose in order to be climate-positive.
Earthbeat Foundation
At Maren Jewelery we only use recycled materials so that we don't have to mine more gold and use what is already there. In order to still do something for 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.
TheEarthbeat Foundationstands up for people whose livelihood is mine work due to a lack of alternatives. New sustainable sources of income are being created locally by the Earthbeat Foundation, such as the beekeeping project.
