In Nova Jewelry, we are committed to promoting sustainability in all aspects of our operations. Our dedication to sustainability is evident in the choice of materials, production processes, and ethical considerations.
Use of Lab-made Stainless Steel
Nova Jewelry utilises 316L high-quality lab-made stainless steel as a base metal, and 18k yellow gold vermeil as a cover, minimising the environmental impact associated with traditional metal mining and production.
We also want to assure you, that we always choose Gold Vermeil over Gold Plating.
Gold Vermeil contains a significantly high amount of gold and a thicker layer, and Gold Plating has a much thinner coating. Gold Plated jewellery also tends to have a cheaper base metal like aluminium or brass, whereas the metal for Gold Vermeil is always Stainless Steel or Silver.
Although we value quality, we don't want to compromise our nature, so we use the highest quality hypoallergenic, strong and durable 316L stainless steel as the base metal, and we only use 18k Yellow Gold as the Gold Vermeil.
Lab-grown gemstones
We exclusively use lab-grown gemstones, eliminating the environmental and ethical concerns associated with traditional mining practices. Mining affects the environment and associated habitat through the removal of vegetation and topsoil, the displacement of fauna, the release of pollutants, and the generation of noise. Impacts of mining projects on soil quality. Mining can contaminate soils over a large area. It is also largely criticised for social exploitation, and unfair or illegal trade practices.
Lab-grown gemstones are physically, optically and chemically identical to mined stones, but are produced sustainably in a controlled laboratory environment of our manufacturer.
Lab-grown gemstones typically require less energy and water, and they produce much fewer carbon emissions compared to their mined counterparts. They are created atom-by-atom, over a period of time using heat and pressure. The entire process is controlled to produce real natural gemstones (Cubic Zirconia and Turquoise) in the most environmentally friendly manner.
Vegan and Recycled materials
Nova Jewelry's dedication to sustainability extends to the use of vegan (such as PU leather for our jewelry boxes) and recycled materials (for the bags and other packaging), avoiding the use of wood and prioritising eco-friendly options throughout the product range.
Sustainable packaging
Our brand uses minimal plastic in its packaging, with a focus on recycled materials. We do not use plastic that cannot be recycled. Additionally, efforts are made to minimise plastic usage in the manufacturing process, further reducing environmental impact.
Ethical and Respectful Treatment of Manufacture Workers
Nova Jewelry ensures that we and our partners (Manufactory) treat all of our employees with respect, and they are not overworked, maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
