Materials & Ethics

Where do you make your jewellery?

We make all of our jewellery, by hand, here in South East London.

Has Wild Fawn always been an ethical brand?

Wild Fawn Jewellery started 7 years ago as an eco-brand because Emma decided from the very beginning that putting people before profit would always be at Wild Fawn's core. From the beginning there was always a huge focus on sourcing the most ethical and eco friendly materials which has meant we haven't needed to adapt the way we work to keep up with consumers growing interest in ethical buying. This has allowed us to focus purely on growing the brand sustainably so we can hire lots more amazing women!

We are committed to always improving the way we work and the materials we use. As we grow we will be able to make even more ethical choices and we're excited to lead the charge in the UK to be more transparent and sustainable within the jewellery industry.

What metal do you use?

Our jewellery is made from mostly recycled Sterling Silver, 9ct solid yellow Gold and Rose gold. All the pieces of jewellery we make in house such as pendants, earrings, rings and bangles are handmade by our lovely team using solid Sterling Silver and 9ct Gold. We use a mix of metals; recycled and SMO metal. SMO means ‘Single Mine Origin’ so we know exactly where our metal comes from, which isn’t always the case with solely recycled metal. We constantly recycle metal in house too so nothing ever goes to waste! We never apply gold plating, vermeil, fill or use base metals.

Where are your chains from?

We buy our chains from trusted suppliers; one produces them in the UK the other is in Italy. Both are certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council, this means their materials and working conditions comply with very high ethical standards. Our UK supplier uses metal from post-consumer recycling, meaning this metal has come from things like phones, watches and old jewellery.

Where are your pearls from?

Our freshwater pearls come from a single farm in China with over 20 years in the industry, where farmers and factory workers alike have a high standard of working conditions. We have checked on working conditions and how the factory operates to prove they meet our own standards. The vast farm can be considered as a positive for the ecosystem because the water has to be kept very clean, respecting the natural wetland landscape.

What gemstones do you use?

The choice between natural gemstones and lab-grown is a difficult one, for now we have opted for lab-grown in most of our pieces because of the price and reliability of size and shape but more importantly the assurance no people have been harmed or exploited in making them and the lower impact on the earth they have than traditional mining. See our Above-Ground Gemstone blog post for more!

What is sterling silver made of?

925 Sterling Silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure Silver and 7.5% Copper.

What is 9ct gold?

9ct Gold contains 37.5% pure Gold mixed with 62.5% of differing metals including Silver and Copper.

Do you customise pieces?

Yes, please send your enquiry with specifications to customercare@wildfawnjewellery.com

Do you make wedding bands?

We do offer a bespoke Wedding band service. Please email customercare@wildfawnjewellery.com to get the conversation started.

Jewellery Care

When should I remove my jewellery?

Our pieces are made for everyday wear but are very delicate and need to be handled carefully so you can enjoy and wear them for as long as possible. For rings, gently remove when you’re applying lotions, before a strenuous workout, or any other situation where the ring may become loose and fall off. Otherwise, rings can be worn to bed, in the shower, and to swim.

Does 9ct Gold colour fade?

No, it will retain its colour forever.

How should I clean my jewellery?

For a light cleaning, we recommend using a mild dish soap and warm water, or a polishing cloth.
