Oak and Luna Sustainability challenges

our sustainable commitment

N°01 FIRST AND FOREMOST

Our sustainability statement is more than a reflection of what we've achieved; it's a testament to the ongoing journey of sustainability—a journey we recognize as lengthy and evolving.

At Oak and Luna, we are committed to setting ambitious sustainability goals, fully aware that the path to achieving them is a continuous process marked by learning and growth. We understand that perfection is an ideal, not a reality. This acknowledgment doesn't deter us; instead, it fuels our dedication to doing better each day.

Transparency stands at the forefront of our values. It's not just about showcasing what we have accomplished; it's also about openly discussing what remains to be done. In laying out our journey with honesty and clarity, we invite our customers, partners, and community to join us in this crucial endeavor, recognizing that the pursuit of sustainability is, first and foremost, a collective and ever-evolving mission.

where do we start?

In navigating the complex terrain of sustainability, we sought guidance from a source embodying the pinnacle of global commitment and understanding – the United Nations.

At Oak and Luna, we didn't just adopt this framework; we delved deep into it, identifying the goals most pertinent to our industry and our vision of well-doing. This selective approach allows us to concentrate our efforts where we can make the most significant impact. By aligning our sustainability initiatives with these specific SDGs, we've begun to chart our course, using these global objectives as our compass.

This strategic alignment not only shapes our current actions but also frames our future endeavors, ensuring that every step we take is a step towards a more sustainable and responsible future.

These principles guide our current actions and inspire us to continuously improve and enhance our endeavors:

the core

At the heart of Oak and Luna lies a business model that seamlessly integrates with our sustainability values and goals.

This integration is founded on two main pillars, each pivotal to our sustainable approach: 360 Ownership of Manufacturing and Jewelry on Demand.

Our data-savvy approach to inventory management complements these pillars. By efficiently managing our material stock, we further our commitment to minimizing waste, ensuring that every resource is used thoughtfully and purposefully. Together, these practices form the core of Oak and Luna's journey towards sustainability - a journey that is both mindful and impactful.

360 Ownership of Manufacturing Our comprehensive ownership of the manufacturing process is not just about control; it's about responsibility. This approach ensures that we are intimately involved in every aspect of production. It goes beyond mere oversight; we are directly accountable for the labor rights, social rights, safety, and welfare of our employees. This complete involvement enables us to uphold our high standards for ethical and sustainable practices at every step.

jewelry on demand Our commitment to reducing waste is embodied in our jewelry-on-demand model. We craft our pieces only upon receiving an order. This practice of custom cutting, engraving, coating, and setting diamonds per order significantly minimizes excess production and waste. It's a deliberate choice to balance customer satisfaction with environmental responsibility.

materials

The cornerstone of creating jewelry that stands the test of time hinges on the exceptional quality of our materials.

This is precisely why our focus remains steadfast on utilizing only high-quality materials. Our commitment extends beyond just selecting superior materials; we are dedicated to ensuring that our sourcing practices are ethically sound.

Consequently, the majority of our key suppliers hold RJC (Responsible Jewellery Council) certification, a testament to our unwavering dedication to not only meet but exceed ethical and environmental standards in every piece we create. By doing so, we continually strive to enhance our practices, aspiring to set new benchmarks in sustainable luxury.

Embodying our pledge to merge unparalleled quality with environmental stewardship, we've adopted key sustainable practices that exemplify our dedication to this cause.

100 SILVER & GOLD RECYCLING We achieve 100% recycling of sterling silver and gold by ensuring that every leftover piece is reclaimed, refined back to its original pure form, and then utilized to create new jewelry.

100 lab grown diamond 2022 was a milestone on our journey to do better for the world and for the people living in it. Our shift to Lab Grown Diamond marks a new era of change. We adore the fact that innovation and technology came to create the wonders of lab-grown diamonds. Allowing the joy and beauty of diamonds both in accessible pricepoint and with no ethical concerns. We are very proud of shifting to 100% lab-grown diamond usage since 2022 and until forever.

100 cultured pearls Cultured pearls are grown in controlled environments, a practice that is not only kinder to marine ecosystems but also ensures the highest quality. This method allows us to contribute to the preservation of natural pearl beds while offering our customers pearls of exceptional luster and uniformity.Selection of cultured pearls reflects our broader commitment to eco-conscious luxury. It's a celebration of nature's gifts, responsibly harnessed, ensuring that each piece of jewelry we create is not just an adornment, but a symbol of thoughtful elegance. With every cultured pearl we use, we're making a statement about the kind of future we want to cultivate – one where beauty and the environment coexist in harmony.

the planet

small acts, big impact.

At the heart of our mission lies a simple yet profound belief: small acts can indeed make a significant difference. We recognize that true change stems from a deep-seated conviction paired with consistent action. Without this belief and the commitment to act upon it, progress remains elusive. We are acutely aware of the ripple effect our actions have on the environment. It's this understanding that guides our approach, treating every small change as if it were monumental.
