Annette Piper Jewellery Sustainability Actions

Uses natural, verified stones

Annette Piper Jewellery says it uses only natural gemstones and that each stone is personally checked by a qualified gemmologist before it is used. The brand also says all known gemstone treatments are disclosed in product descriptions. This matters because it helps buyers know whether a stone is natural, treated, or altered in some way. The brand presents this as a way to avoid confusion in a market where synthetic and misnamed stones are common.

Sources from small miners

The brand says its gemstones come from 47 countries and that 80% are sourced from artisanal small-scale miners. That means many stones come from small independent mining groups rather than large industrial mines. The brand presents this as a way to support those communities. It also says some premium stones are cut by a small family business, which suggests a preference for smaller-scale suppliers in parts of its supply chain.

Uses precious metals only

Annette Piper Jewellery says it uses precious metals such as sterling silver, Argentium sterling silver, fine silver, gold fill, gold vermeil, and sometimes solid gold. It says it does not use base metals or cheap plating. The brand also explains that gold fill is a thick bonded layer of gold, not a thin coating. This can matter for durability and for people who want longer-lasting jewellery.

Supports repair and longevity

The brand says all jewellery is fully guaranteed and can be repaired free of charge if it breaks through normal wear. It also offers a three-year breakage warranty for silk-knotted necklaces and bracelets, and a lifetime guarantee for unknotted pieces. This kind of repair policy can help products last longer, which may reduce waste compared with replacing items often.

Handcrafted in a studio

Annette Piper says every piece is handcrafted by the designer in her studio in New South Wales. The brand also says it uses traditional techniques and craftsmanship. Making items by hand in small batches usually means less mass production and fewer stock-heavy processes. The site also says many pieces are one of a kind because the stones are rare or limited in supply.
