Sustainability & Ethics at Soliluna
In the following sections you will find all the information about our sustainable and ethical efforts regarding materials, manufacturing process, packaging and supported projects.
materials
At our small jewelry label, we place great importance on ethically sourced and sustainable materials. That's why we use recycled gold and silver in most of our pieces to reduce the environmental impact of mining new raw materials.
Furthermore, we use beads from second-hand sources as often as possible, e.g., old necklaces, thus giving a new life to materials that might otherwise be discarded.
For more detailed information about the materials used in your favorite items, please refer to the respective product description or simply contact us by email – we will be happy to provide you with information!
Manufacturing process
It's not just our materials that make us responsible – our founder Sabrina also makes every piece of jewelry herself by hand, with lots of love and passion and self-taught craft techniques.
This ensures that each piece is unique and of the highest quality. At the same time, we can minimize energy consumption and reduce waste by shipping directly to you from our small studio in southern Austria.
Packaging
Sustainability is important to us in every step of our business – including packaging. Every contribution to a more sustainable future counts, which is why we use environmentally friendly packaging made from:
Grass paper: Made from fast-growing grasses, it requires little water, no fertilizers or pesticides. It is biodegradable, compostable, and more energy-efficient to produce than conventional paper.
Recycled paper: Gives old papers a second life, reduces waste and conserves resources.
Organic cotton: For some products we use certified organic cotton, which is environmentally friendly and perfectly protects the jewelry, so that it retains its shine.
Supported projects
We are aware that we use natural resources – therefore we want to give something back:
€1 per purchase goes to The Ocean Cleanup ( www.theoceancleanup.com) , which is working to rid our oceans of plastic waste.
We donate 10% of our annual storewide sale in November to charitable organizations such as Live To Give ( www.livetogive.at ), the Austrian Children's Cancer Aid and the animal rescue organization Tiereck ( www.tiereck.at ).
Our claim
We hope we have given you a good and sufficient overview of our sustainability and ethical efforts. It is important to us that you can wear our handcrafted jewelry with a clear conscience – beautiful, high-quality, and environmentally conscious at the same time.
