Materials – Our sustainable work

At Apiliotis we are all about sustainability and the protection of our beautiful planet 🌍

That’s what we are doing as a small and sustainable brand

We are using only 100% recycled silver

Ecosilver, is an environmentally friendly raw material for jewellery making which is made from 100% recycled scrap metal guaranteed. It is made using scrap jewellery and recycled silver from the medical, electronics and giftware industries, and all of our partner’s Ecosilver products come with a certificate of authenticity as a guarantee to us where it has originated. We have detailed the metal recycling procedure in our article here.

Semi-precious stones and how we choose them

Precious stones are distinguished by their quality, their rarity and the beauty of their colors. There are only four precious stones: diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald. All other stones are therefore called semi-precious stones. We are using semiprecious stones and we are trying to buy the ones that have unique shape/size and would considered as “defective” from other jewellery makers. Let’s embrace uniqueness, difference and use everything that is in our reach!

Upcycled, recycled & reusable packaging

Our packaging is completely recycled and recyclable. We have carefully selected the box in order to be beautiful, eco friendly and reusable. Our jewellery pouches are upcycled by fabrics that would end up in the land fields and we are proud of them! They are beautiful in all meaning! Also, they protect your jewellery perfectly!

You can also read about the sustainable techniques that we are using for a sustainable jewellery studio here.
