Amadeus only uses sustainable materials in all jewellery.

Gold Vermeil

Most of our jewellery is made in vermeil - recycled sterling silver dipped in at least 2.5 microns of recycled gold. This is five times thicker than average gold plating and more durable.

Gold Brass

Some of our chains and thicker earrings are made in gold dipped discarded brass with at least 2 micron thickness of solid recycled gold. We also add a layer of anti-tarnish to further improve durability. The reason we chose to use brass instead of silver in some pieces is to keep the price point at an affordable level. Our brass is 100% nickel-free and cadmium-free.

Natural Gemstones & Pearls

We now only use pre-loved gemstones and sea pearls purchased second hand and then cut to size in our studio. The reason we opted to do this is that sourcing ethical stones is difficult, in part because there are no established bodies tracing gemstones from mine to market.
