Sustainability
We want to be mindful of our planet. That's why our jewelry is made responsibly, and made to last.
Reuse Instead Of Mining New
Recycled Gold & Silver
We use recycled precious metals for our jewelry – because this produces much less CO2 emissions than mining new ones. They come from refiners who are certified members of the Responsible Jewellery Council – a non-profit organization to promote ethical, socially and environmental responsible corporate policies in the jewelry industry.
The precious metals are gained mainly from old jewelry which is melted down, and they are brought back to their full purity. This recycling process can be repeated again and again, and luckily, the quality of the precious metals stays exactly the same.
18k Gold Vermeil & 925 Silver
Made To Last
We don’t believe in throw-away jewelry and don't use cheap metals. paeoni colors jewelry is crafted from durable precious metals: 18k Gold Vermeil and 925 Sterling Silver.
Gold Vermeil is a long-lasting, thick coating of 18k Gold on 925 Sterling Silver. It's 5x thicker than regular gold-plating and far more durable.
Our 925 Sterling Silver pieces are plated with Rhodium or Platinum which makes them non-tarnish and more scratch-resistant.
Handcrafted To Last
Responsibly Crafted
We handcraft our pieces with love in small batches in our Berlin studio. We collect all leftover precious metal parts and recycle them as well, so that new pieces can be created from them.
Of course we need to source the components for our pieces, which is why we select our partners very carefully. We only work together with companies that share our values.
Our suppliers are family-owned businesses in Germany, Italy and Thailand with great tradition in gold-smithing. It’s important to us that our suppliers work responsibly as well and are certified members of the Responsible Jewellery Council which ensures fair pay, safe working conditions and a sustainable supply chain.
