Ethical Jewellery is jewellery that is made with a conscious decision to respect the environment, the natural and the human resources along the whole process from creation to production. In other words Ethical Jewellery measures responsible sourcing, sustainability and fair-trade It may come in a recycled or bio degradable package as the way of continuing the environmental ethos. Ethical Jewellery embraces local communities and culture Here at Pretty Pink we work closely with our South American partners making sure we embrace their cultures and techniques adapting to our European tastes and trends. We are constantly speaking and swapping skills and feedback to make sure we all grow together and mutually gain valuable skills. It considers the impact on humans and the environment In our business as an example there aren't any big companies or manufactories, we work mainly with small family business and people who depend directly on the conservation and the sustainable trade of tagua seeds. Everyone that participate in the process of making our jewellery are important to us and the environment. From the 'catadores" who collect the seeds from the forest floor respecting the forests to the single parent working from home while looking and providing for their families. Why should you buy ethical jewellery? You are buying a product that is made from renewable materials, sustainably made that are beautiful and that pays workers fairly. It first it may seem expensive but remember you are paying for quality materials that take time to be ready, not mass production. Tagua jewellery making for example we have to collect the seeds on the right time of the year, the seeds have to dry than they are treated, died , cut to shapes, polished and that is before we start to make the jewellery. It goes through the hands of many people, a true slow fashion process. What things to look out for when buying ethical jewellery? Fair-trade certifications such as FairTrade or FairMined, if they can trace the materials or the people that makes the jewellery. Eco-friendly packaging such as recyclable or bio degradable Many ethical companies also give back to the environment either by planting trees, investing in education and more.   Buying ethical jewellery is great, and it's never been easier, the choice it's yours.

You'll be surprised to know what people have asked us in the past "Can jewellery make you happy?" And our answer has always been, absolutely, despite the price or materials! But how do pieces of jewellery make you happy? We would like to explore that here and yet more specifically how a colourful piece of jewellery be it a beaded necklace or delicate earrings can make all the difference. Most importantly, jewellery is an expression of ourselves and when people ask us, "how does jewellery show your personality?" we know just how to answer. So let's drop the pretence that jewellery ought to be precious 18k gold or large stones to be a people pleaser. We work with bright colours, vibrant colours even bold colours that make you feel happy because of the energy they bring to the room. So lets jump into this colour wheel and explore just how this contemporary jewellery design might compliment you and your day!   How Colourful Jewellery Effects Our Mood  We live our lives in colour. Full, glorious technicolour, from the moment we open our eyes in the morning, to the time we turn off our lights at the end of the day. The human eye can detect over ten million shades and colours in an almost infinite number of combinations – it is little wonder that our sense of sight is our dominant and most valued sense. Each one of us surrounds ourselves with colour in our everyday lives. Decorating and adorning our homes and workplaces. Choosing the right clothes for the day, the right shade of lipstick, the right piece of jewellery to complement it. We portray an image, and we carry our colours with us wherever we go.   Wearing Complimentary Colourful Jewellery in Summer In the summertime we surround ourselves with the vivid colours the bright sunshine allows us to see – from exotic birds, flowers and butterflies to the lush green of a leafy wood or the deep blue of a night sky, tinged with the luminous clouds of a purple and orange sunset.   Brightening Winter Months With Rich Coloured Jewellery In the darkness of winter we celebrate with multicoloured fireworks and twinkling fairy lights to remind us of brighter days to come; the greens and reds of lush evergreens and the jewel-like spectacle of a stained glass window – colour dissolving in light. Like our sense of smell, a colour has the power to transport us back in time – a sparkling turquoise blue of a Mediterranean seaside holiday, rainbow colours of a childhood watercolour set, the orange embers of a cosy campfire. There are sciences and theories surrounding the power of colour to attract, to seduce and to cheer us, measuring our interpretations of colour and the effect that it has on our behaviour and mood. Millions are spent in the pursuit of the correct colour for a brand image, for the interior design of a shop or the feel of a website.   Making Sustainable Jewellery Choices But here at Pretty Pink we know instinctively, without the need for scientific research, the power of our bright rainforest colours to uplift our spirits and bring joy to our lives - and we keep this firmly in mind when designing and making our beautiful , sustainable tagua jewellery. For us there is no doubt that the spellbinding colours of the natural world around us affect the way we feel, with bright flashes of colour raising a smile, and brightening our days. Our gift to you is the gift of colour, of happiness and joy. We are sure that our striking and colourful and vibrant jewellery designs will bring as much joy to you when wearing them as they do to us while creating them.
