About Forae

Sustainability

Slow jewellery, made by hand. Here's how we try to tread lightly — and where we're still working.

Made to order, not to stock

We make each piece only when you order it. No overproduction, no unsold inventory, no seasonal clear-outs — just the jewellery that's actually wanted.

Silver that lives again

Sterling silver is infinitely recyclable. Our offcuts and polishing dust are collected, refined and melted back into new pieces, and we source recycled silver wherever our quality standard allows.

Thoughtful packaging

Your piece arrives in a reusable fabric pouch and a recyclable kraft box, with no plastic fill. Small enough to post in a padded envelope, light enough to keep shipping emissions low.

Built to last, not replace

The most sustainable piece of jewellery is the one you never throw away. Solid silver, hand-finished and backed by a 5-year warranty, is designed to be worn for decades and passed on.

Honest, and still improving

We're a small studio, not a perfect one. We'd rather tell you what we do today than make claims we can't prove — and we keep looking for better materials and partners every season.

Questions about our materials or process? We'd love to hear from you.
