Sustainability

At Beards, crafting with care isn’t just a principle—it’s a promise. Integrity is woven into every piece we create, from the sourcing of our materials to the moment a ring leaves our workshop.

We approach sustainability with thought and honesty. It’s a word used often, but for us, it means taking real steps: reducing our environmental footprint, championing fair labour, and maintaining full transparency throughout our supply chain.

Because we design and manufacture in-house, within our own workshops here in the UK, we have complete control over the process—from first sketch to final polish. This allows us to uphold the highest standards, ensure ethical practices, and take responsibility for every detail.

Our aim is simple: to create jewellery that lasts, made with conscience and care. And in doing so, to help shape a more ethical future for the industry we’ve been part of for over 200 years.

  • Recycled Materials

    Silver has been a staple in jewellery craftsmanship for centuries, valued for its durability, versatility, and ability to showcase intricate textures and details. We are proud to use 100% recycled Silver in our pieces, as confirmed by our trusted suppliers.


    Similarly, Gold has always been cherished and continually recycled due to its precious nature. The 18ct Gold in our fine jewellery collections contains a minimum of 70% recycled metal, reflecting our commitment to sustainability.

  • Handmade in England

    Beards are a passionate advocate for preserving traditional craftsmanship, which is why we have been committed to making our jewellery in-house from the very beginning. This approach not only helps sustain invaluable skills but also allows us to maintain a much shorter supply chain, significantly reducing our carbon footprint compared to brands that rely on overseas production.

    By keeping our production internal, we can closely monitor quality control, ensuring each piece meets our high standards. Additionally, our in-house repair service reinforces our dedication to sustainability—prioritising repairs and material reuse over waste, so your jewellery can be cherished for years to come.

  • Luxury Eco Packaging

    Sustainability is at the core of our packaging evolution. We have partnered with Oyster Packaging to create jewellery boxes designed for longevity—ones that you’ll want to keep and reuse for years.

    Our commitment extends to our shipping packaging which consists of 100% recyclable materials.

  • Responsible Sourcing

    We work with suppliers who use transparent and traceable processes. From sourcing conflict-free diamonds to using only recycled precious metals, we strive to be as responsible as possible to ensure your peace of mind.

  • Working With Charities

    We regularly support local charities and raise money for good causes in our local area.

  • Reduced Carbon Footprint

    At Beards, we recognise that carbon is a key indicator of climate change, and we take full responsibility for our carbon footprint. We are dedicated to reducing our emissions year after year and encouraging our suppliers to do the same, fostering long-term change across the industry.

Jewellery, Forever

At Beards, our jewellery is made to be worn, loved, and cherished—not just for today, but for generations to come.

Instead of offering formal warranties, we believe in repairing, not replacing. This approach reduces waste and significantly lessens our environmental impact. In fact, choosing to repair your Beards piece, rather than replacing it, cuts carbon emissions by 80%.

Because we craft every piece in our own workshops, we’re always here to restore, recondition, and clean your jewellery whenever you need. Our team is ready to assist with any questions or concerns, ensuring your jewellery stays as beautiful as the day you first received it.
