Responsible sourcing begins with being specific about what we know. We want the materials in a piece to be described clearly and our claims to stay within the evidence available for that order.

Making to order

Skyvory works on an order basis rather than producing large quantities for stock. We plan materials for the design and make jewelry intended to be worn and maintained. Small-scale production does not mean that a piece has no environmental impact, but it helps us avoid making unnecessary finished inventory.

Metals and reuse

Precious metals can be recovered and refined for use again. Our earlier workshop materials describe sourcing through local foundries and the reuse of suitable metal. That does not establish a certified recycled percentage for every current alloy or finished piece.

If verified recycled content, a named refinery or a particular sourcing standard is essential to you, ask before ordering. We will confirm what documentation is available for the proposed material rather than apply an unsupported label to the whole collection.

Gemstones and supplier information

We consider natural and laboratory-grown stones according to the design and your preferences. Neither category alone proves responsible labor practices, full traceability or a low environmental footprint. A stone’s identity and quality report also does not automatically certify its entire supply chain.

Tell us which sourcing information matters to you. We can discuss available supplier details and independent reports for the selected stone, and explain where information is limited. We do not make a blanket claim that every stone is fully traceable, certified ethical or conflict-free without supporting evidence.

Care, repair and longevity

Appropriate care and timely repair can extend the useful life of jewelry. We assess pieces for maintenance and alteration where their construction allows it. Repair is not always possible, but it is worth discussing before replacing a piece.
