1. Harm Reduction

I prioritize harm reduction by carefully selecting suppliers who share my commitment to ethical practices. I avoid working with suppliers whose practices cause harm, and I support organizations that promote responsible sourcing. My studio follows clean practices to minimize environmental impact, and I am constantly seeking ways to reduce harm in my processes.

2. Quality and Excellence

I hold myself to the highest standards of quality and excellence in every aspect of my business. From materials sourcing to the execution of my jewellery pieces, I ensure that each element meets my stringent criteria. I maintain clear standards for the quality of diamonds, gold karat, and gemstones, and work only with trusted suppliers who provide materials of exceptional quality.

4. Joy

I believe in the importance of bringing joy to my customers’ lives through my jewellery. I aim to create elegant, understated pieces that delight and inspire. My commitment to joy extends beyond my products; I seek to create a positive and enjoyable experience for my clients, whether it’s through my packaging, client care, or the personal attention I provide.

5. Buddhist Ethics

I integrate basic Buddhist principles into my business practices. These principles include generosity, ethical discipline, patience, exertion, contemplation, and wisdom. I strive to embody these values in my actions, fostering a culture of compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom within my business and the wider jewellery industry.

6. Supplier Vetting

My supplier vetting process aligns with my values and expectations. I have non-negotiable minimum requirements that suppliers must meet to be considered. These include consideration of ethical practices, responsible sourcing, and a commitment to reducing harm. In addition, I prioritize suppliers who share my core values of quality, loyalty, honesty, and joy. Through ongoing dialogue and asking uncomfortable questions, I encourage my suppliers to improve their practices and sourcing.
